Good thing Derk was just about to wake her up and wasn’t just watching her sleep

Sorry this comic had to be so sad, guys.
Altermentality:
I WANT THOSE PAJAMAS
Also, Victor was confused/upset that Lorelei doesn’t sleep with her bow on. So I made sure to establish that the first thing she does every morning is put it back in its place.
Even when he’s helping his friend wake up from a horrifying nightmare, presumably crying out in her sleep as he tries to shake her awake, Derk still reminds me of Patrick.
@ panel 6: Bacon strips
and bacon strips
and bacon strips
and bacon strips
and bacon strips…
Great, now I’m hungry.
You missed the 6th bacon strip
Dreams about bacon…
Man, Derk is lucky. I want bacon dreams…
DO you though? Because then you wake up and there is no bacon. It’s a curse, really, but Derk has learned to live with it.
sorry im late my friend. i giggled at the last few panels
also
i am now starting my comic book up. i have the first 2 panels drawn
(problem: art could use enhancements, and so could the art its self)
not bad, but at the same time not perfect (if u know what i mean)
PS
derk’s dream about bacon says “BACON” all the time
Awesome! If you ever need any help or have any questions about how I do things, don’t be afraid to ask. I know I’m not exactly a pro but I am really eager to help!
Here’s some starting advice: draw your characters a lot before you actually go too far in the comic. For instance, my first drawing of Skärva looks REALLY different than he does today. Same basic costume, but his face… whoa. He looked like less of a shark-man and more of a scary guy with sharklike qualities. But I did this, and in the process he changed on his own into who he is today. But even at the time of drawing the comic I was still REALLY inconsistent on how long his nose is, whether it’s pointy or rounded, etc. And he has continued to evolve throughout the comic, as your characters doubtless will; this is perfectly fine and everyone should understand that amateur work is going to get better as it goes along. But I’m just glad I did the expressions challenge first and allowed him to evolve, so that I didn’t start the comic with beta-Skärva who is quite different and, I feel, really not as likeable. So draw them a lot beforehand, and I think you’ll naturally adapt them to what you want them to be, rather than trying to constrain them to be consistent with your initial designs.
I didn’t do the expressions thing with all the characters but looking back I wish I’d had time to with at least Frozio, he came out looking kind of inconsistent from panel to panel but it’s forgivable I suppose. It came in really handy for Lorelei too, you might not have guessed so, but that little girl was quite hard to get right.
Making a comic is really exciting and it’s a great way to advance as an artist. Good luck and be sure to keep me posted :3
heres the plot if u want to know:
its about this girl named Kuna Misaki, and this much larger guy named (to be defined), and lastly a spirit (named to be assigned) and they are bounty hunters…..the hunted are 1000 beings (be it gods humans bears, etc) and each one has a # like whatever, and a level of power 1-7 (being the highest) and its a random number every time and they are called the nobles (1000 creatures)
based of games: dungeon siege 2
show: one piece, toriko
I enjoy the new banner,and rando-san sounds sounds good[srry alter…couldnt resist jumping on the bandwagon of yours]and derk’s eyes last panel made me lol,no really I laughed so hard when I noticed that my penguins jumped..
I swear you’re actually the Ice King, from Adventure Time. Now I’m going to mentally read all your comments in his voice.
hey, u chang’d th’bannr
looks great and, ur right, ur characters appearences changed o’er the months
Thanks. It does look so much better now, and hopefully soon the old banner will have faded from memory. And I’m surprised you haven’t asked about the guys in the corner who just popped up.
On that note, we are going to put Blank up on the cast page now.
WHAT? YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE IM A MONARCH WITH AN ICE THEME AND I HAVE PENGUINS FOR PETS THEN I MUST BE THE ICE KING?IM OFFENDED! INSULTED!PERTURBED AND DISHONORED BY SUCH A GRIEVIOUS INSULT! DO YOU WANT ME TO COMMENT OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO IT YOURSELF?!?!?!?![plus 20 cookienetz[thought neither cookies or internetz were good enough]if you get the reference..if not,I get your soul to be eternally frozen in ice]
Aww, are you being Frozio? I really hope so because my soul isn’t too shabby. It would be a shame for it to be frozen in ice, then you’d never get to find out who that cute little fish and the haughty ghost and that chill guy in the tropical shirt are. I mean, I guess Victor could tell you but you know how he is with commenting.
im interested in the older girl, and the ghost guy (although im confused that u said she wont be in the comic, yet shes on the banner)
Oh man, the ghost is a girl. You’re gonna pay for that mistake, my friend. She will haunt you in the night… if she has time.
If I said something like that, I was joking. They’ll all be in the comic, unless King Frost freezes my soul.
skarva: once again, foolish hero, ur yellowish tinted sword is useless against my superior magic… for ur punishment, i will force feed you some yummy tasty magic food.
blank: NO!!! MY ONE WEAKNESS!!
lorelei:……
derk:……..
Don’t give me any ideas….
my randomize beam may give a random chance of death, or anything that is irrelevant and or anything that might or might not be related
ok alter….you wont die…today anyway…so ill chill out didn’t mean to get so flurry-ous..
How very kind of you. You can’t kill me as long as the comic goes on or you’ll never find out how it ends, right? So in the future, when people wonder how I kept drawing this thing for 75 years, I can say it was for my own safety…
thats a wonderful idea.I hadn’t thought of that,thanks for the suggestion,your snow cool..or are you?guess it depends,but really,want an icecream?
BACON, BACON EVERYWHERE FOR Derk!
Mmm. Bacon. Glllllaaarrrghhh..
You ok there? I’m just imagining you gargling with grease or something. I knew a guy who drank a good cup of straight bacon grease once… he’s still alive, for now.
