Description Crow: I love how Niko manages to trash-talk in Russian, philosophize about the nature of man, and utterly fail to be intimidated by a murderess, all while sitting under a giant poster of a naked lady in the living room of a stripper.

Pix: =exileddelusion showed me how to mix up colours for better effect. I think it works well, n'cest pas?

Script, hunter and delilah by =TheCrowchan
art and Niko by =manic-pixie

There's something intrigueing about their relationship that I find strangely beautiful.

Those two men are fixing to be the most badass male pairing in my book!

heheh....well, they ain't a pairing, so much. They're best pals (hetero lifemates, if you will) and Niko's just figured out how to get on delilah's nerves by emphasising their association.

Zeikier In reply to manic-pixie [2009-04-06 03:39:49 +0000 UTC]

I see. Well that makes sense. Either way, Niko is doing an awesome job on rubbing Delilah the wrong way!

Oh, man. I love how Delilah's just trying so hard and Nico just doesn't seem to care.
Critique, oh man... er... the roll-up should be glowing a little redder? Seriously, that's all I got.

Very nice. I do like the mixing colour thing. I'll have to try it! The faces look lovely as usual.

(as you requested crit for the dev options, I thought I might point out something.)
-The unshaded poster although stylistically sound, is very noticably unshaded to the eye, I probably wouldn't of noticed if it's lineart didn't leak out over the edge of the panel's boarder.


Im dissapointed I wont be at the con for the comic tutorial you're doing (I asked my sister and it turns out that we're going on the sat)

yeah, i wanted the poster to blend in the background/the wall - i may have to chuck some shading on.

Deathdog3000 In reply to manic-pixie [2009-04-06 04:03:59 +0000 UTC]

Maybe if you used a shade of the background lighting/wall colour to line it rather than black, it wouldn't stick out quite as apparently?

This page is just awesome, I dunno how to put it any better! Awesome!

And yes, colors just get better and better :0

And aww, you have no idea how sweet in a weird way it is to see Niko using Russian. I dunno, it always makes me smile even when it's the dirtiest trash-talk like here.

manic-pixie In reply to Oly-RRR [2009-04-06 03:40:34 +0000 UTC]

Heehee...i keep meaning to get a list of his russian from you. I wish i could learn to speak it, but the half-dozen cases scare me. As it is, he speaks russian when he's drunk, angry, overwrought, or when he doesn't want Hunter to hear what he's saying.

Oly-RRR In reply to manic-pixie [2009-04-06 09:21:21 +0000 UTC]

But you have that small list of phrases I did back in January or so, don't you? (I'm pretty sure I typed it but I can't remember if I sent it... I think I did? XP If not I'll send it right now). And if you can think of any specific phrases you need, note me and I'll translate them.

And yeah, cases! D: That's why I like English a bit better.
