Description So here it is. First page of Atlantis. It's an Altarion side story about the creation of Schwarze Ritter mercenary squad, and I'm making it show on my website. It will be a four-episodes story, American size.
I'm not a translator, so if anyone has an idea that could improve the dialogues I'd like to know it!

I think the only thing I could say for the dialog in this one would be instead of:
"Planetary shuttle from Mars on arrival at Gate 23. Flight for Rome is leaving..."
Try something like:
"Mars flight (flight number here) planetary shuttle (on arrival/docking) at Gate 23. Rome flight (flight number here) departing (at)..."

I dunno itialian, otherwise I'd offer my services.
Gooten luck, and well done on the artwork!

Nifty! The onyl idea on dialoge I could give ya in the second panel would be Planetary shuttle from mars now arriving at gate 23. The flight for rome is now leaving.
third Docking is now complete.

My input. Ask other people if they agree or not

Wow, great job! I've only seen the first page and I already love the concept! It looks like you've finalized your style already, which is the best thing to do before starting a comic. Nice job!

((Yeah, I'd like to read some Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451, was it? If I don't read it on my own, it'll get forced down my throat in English Somethin' Or Other, maybe 12 or University.))

I love all the yellow highlights! I think this will make for a very good comic, even though I'd like to see more underwater stuff than above-ground. 'Rome' doesn't sound like it would be under the ocean to me, even if you're not sticking to Earth facts. Wait, was I including Atlantis as an "Earth fact"??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

whiteshaix In reply to Sobeita [2007-03-16 20:37:30 +0000 UTC]

The story is set in a not specified future, so my Atlantis is not the legendary city of the past. And it's the only underwater citiy of Earth, as the technology used to build it is of alien origin. Besides, the starship in the first panel just came from Martian colonies... So yes, Rome is where it has always been (no polar ice pack melting here).

LukeEkblad [2007-03-16 19:14:18 +0000 UTC]

cool, i'm prety new to drawing and stuff but i'm trying to get better, do you think its better to do traditional art first then move up to digitall art? Or is it the same if i start out with digital art?
Oh, bye the way, how did you learn to draw like that? Did you go to an art class or somthing?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

whiteshaix In reply to LukeEkblad [2007-03-16 20:06:40 +0000 UTC]

I think it's easier to start with good old pencil - at last because you can turn the sheet to draw certain lines.^^ Drawing with a tablet is much more difficult because your hand has to trace lines in unnatural positions. For the coloring, I think you can start directly with digital medium. You have a lot more possibilities and - most of all - no brush cleaning to do.

I've been drawing for all my life, my father was a painter when he was younger so he taught me something, and then I took a degree in a commercial art class.

whiteshaix In reply to LukeEkblad [2007-03-16 20:47:44 +0000 UTC]

I don't know, I still use photoshop 7. I suggest that you experiment a lot with customization. I prefer textured brushes, but plain ones allow you to use the smudging tool to merge colors.

whiteshaix In reply to LukeEkblad [2007-03-16 18:57:33 +0000 UTC]

I guessed so...
I don't use colored pencils anymore, especially for comics. It's a slow medium, so I scan the pencil lineart and color it with photoshop. I use textured brushed because a great Italian comic artist, Marco Patrito, told me that my pencils were far better than my older coloring style. So I developed custom brushes to make my works look *less* digital.

hellsrebellion [2007-03-16 17:27:06 +0000 UTC]

I like the different shades of blue. The way the city dips and rises with the ocean floor keeps it from looking congested. It has a very soft feel to it, nicely done.
