Description
Will be scraped later.One of my tries at action scenes, since SoH will be a bloody fighting comic (at least if you ask me). I really want to finally draw something else than only those boring introductional pages, but fight scenes scare the shit outta me. I'm not sure if I am happy with this or not. The bg sucks, but then again, the coloring job was a fast one, because the skethcn alone looked boring. I do like the facial expressions of them. Lex is all "I'LL EET UR FAYSE!!!!11!!" and Shiva is all "Bring it on BETCH". lol
The title is a thing I thought about at work.
Lex may be the protagonist of SoH but he is not a hero.
It's a clichΓ©-wolf-comic so epic battle will ensure. But not everything is black and white (lol at that, since Lex actually is black and white) and Lex will not pick sides. He is an egoistic ass, so he will only fight for himself alone and might even abandon the ones in need to save himself. But you'll find that out much later in the story (if we ever manage it that far).

It's all good ~ I love fight scenes but I'm terrified at backgrounds.
LOL.
Doing great!

lol, "I'LL EET UR FAYSE!!!!11!!" is probably the best phrase I've heard all day.

Looks good!
May just be an aesthetic choice, but I really think some more motion lines from the left of the picture will add to the dynamics of the scene. Perhaps a bit of flying spittle round the mouthparts as well.
Looking bloody good for a concept tho. Good job!

Ses and I need to do a LOT of researches when it comes to speed lines. We already talked about our planned actions scenes and how to picture them best. We know motion or speed lines from our personal comic and/or manga sessions, we just have no idea how to use the damn things most effectively 
Thanks for the suggestion :3! We'll continue to practice in the background XD *scribbles*.

No worries! xD comics are damn hard work, so it's a good thing there's two of you doing it. To spur each other on and all.
I dunno if it's of any interest to you, but I'll be posting a one-off comic page I'm doing as gift art for a friend, in the next few days. (Just doing the inks now) It utilizes a TON of aesthetics from the golden era of comics; motion lines, ben-day dots, cheesy comic-fonted dialogue and TinTin style 'impact stars'. :3 May be a bit of help on the research front!
Look forward to seeing more pages from the both of ye.

You're totally right. I'm so glad Ses came to me back then and suggested the partner-project. We learn so much from each other, I'd recommend partner-works to anyone who wants to try something like this ^^.
Sure, maybe you could send us the link? I must admit that I didn't know half of the terms you used, so you already made me a bit smarter, well, and curious to see it drawn XD.

It's not really the same style, but it might give you a few ideas. Hope ya like. xD

Love the action blur and angles! And there's one thing you can do to make any boring old pose really interesting: Draw it out, normal boring old side view, and then switch up the angle. I like the bugs eye view for big action shots, and drawing different sides of the characters' poses makes for really good movement.
Hope I helped! Love the comic so far, and I can totally tell this is going to be a hit!

Do you have any picture examples, especially for the "bugs eye view action shots"? Really sounds interesting to me, I just don't know how to imagine it :3.
And thank you, we're glad for any help that we can get

I know that the action scenes in BBA went over really well, and the later pages really use different angles nicely.
The angles here are pretty nice. [link] [link] [link]
Although some people might say that's been 'done before!' but honestly I think it looks better than a comic full of eye-level shots..
