READ FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: My friends got confused about which way to read..

It's done! It's done! This took FOREVER to make, I never actually thought it would end up this big.. Which is funny because I wrote up the script in like 15 minutes.. But I am so happy that it's finished! I was really if'ing and um'ing on how I wanted to do this. I was first thinking of doing it Nsio style. But I really wanted to create a story involving the characters. I didn't want to have every panel showcasing monogatari-esque poses, or crazy angles, because I wanted to make leads up to the poses to make them events.. If you know what I mean.. Sayaka is a very dependent person I feel, even if she tries to work around it. So I was thinking, who could she depend on when her sister isn't around? How did she handle school? And so my entry starts at Sayaka in grade school, and ends in highschool

My objectives in this practice were;
-To complete my first ever comic and DA contest
- Display character consistency, make the characters looks the same in different angles and to make them look older without accidentally turning them into a different person
- To have people know what's happening without dialogue
- Test my knowledge on ambient occlusion and value colouring. I only thought about this upon starting the second chapter, which is why chapter 1 sucks so bad :S
- To try angles and poses that I'm not comfortable with! I don't feel like I met this personal goal :\ I could have tried to make more dynamic poses, or even more full bodies.

THE SCRIPT:

MEETING AYUMI, Minami

Start: Junior school

Young Sayaka with pony tail, has to use the bathroom *Back shot* She walks past a 3 boys *side shot* as she walks past one of them yanks out her hair tie *under shot*
Teary thought bubble of Sayaka thinking back to yesterday when the boys yanked out her other hair tie. A figure wisks past Sayaka and pushes the boy *mug shot Sayaka*
A boyish figure looms over the bully *down-up angle* The boys run off leaving behind hair ties from both occasions. Ayumi picks the ties up and heads towards a frightful Sayaka.
Puzzled, Ayumi puts a apprehencive Sachikas hair into pig tails. Sachika looks into the mirror *thought bubble of her plussing her sister and equalling her*
An excited Sayaka forgets herself and hugs the boyish Ayumi. Sayaka suddenly flusters and backs off. Sayaka mentions that she rembered that she needs to use the bathroom
The boyish Ayumi offers to join whilst a puzzled Sayaka agrees. At the front of the girls bathroom does Sayaka now realise that Ayumi is actually a girl.

Middle: Middle school

Sayaka is nervous about her first day in middle school, but is glad that she can walk to school with Ayumi. Sayaka leaving her house to see Ayumi at the front gate, slightly surprised at her tomboyish attire.
Ayumi makes a big gesturous walk in contrast to Sayaka's timid pace. Ayumi runs ahead at the school gates leaving an anxious Sayaka behind.
Sayaka nearvously opens the door to her new class to see Ayumi had just sat down. Ayumi surprised, jumps up and runs to hug Sayaka. Sayaka can hear people misunderstanding Ayumi's gender
And confuse the situation amongst themselves. An overwhelmingly flustered Sayaka faints in Ayumi's arms making that leaning back dancing pose gesture..

End: Highschool
Sayaka in an attempt to boost her confidence opts to be the nude model for the art club, and is trying to keep it a secret from Ayumi assuming she may think bad of Sayaka.
Becoming anxious, Ayumi misunderstands and begins to think Sayaka doesn't want to be friends anymore. Ayumi ends up following Sayaka to the front of the art room, an anxious Ayumi puts her ear to the windowless door
in an attempt to hear what's going on. Ayumi growing impatient *preparing to burst through the door*. Upon smashing the door open, Ayumi discovers Sayaka on a stage with nothing but a blanket on, An embarrased Ayumi closes the door again.
After school, Ayumi waits for Sayaka in an empty class room as usual. An embarrassed Sayaka confronts Ayumi. As Ayumi waves and stands up, Sayaka breaks into tears and asks if Ayumi thinks less of her. Ayumi embraces and conforts the teary Sayaka.

TRIVIA:

> In the script faze, I referred to Sayaka as, 'Sachika' for some reason..
> The first half of the junior school ark is Ayumi's re-telling of those events. Sayaka used to carry around hair ties becuase she kept losing them. Ignorant to the hole in her pockets. Ayumi simply picked up the two that fell out..
> I was going to cell shade this comic, everything that could go wrong with that, did. And when Nsio pushed the deadline back, I decided to just paint every panel..
> The jacket Ayumi wears in junior school is her brothers!
> Ayumi has yet to meet Sayaka's sister
> There was meant to be an epilogue were Ayumi sneaks into Sakyaka's sketch session. But I felt like that would've been a bit much
