An sketch of a scene from the webcomic, my favorite one, but obviosuly seems very wierd without context :p
If things goes as planned. maybe within a weeks well start publishing online.

sometimes I make a few panels of things goin on in my life, usually a direct event, though this was more of a fantasy resolution I never really got to have:

@orion119net: Is that your character or a part of the environment? It's a nice PA.
@embryotic: interesting comic. I like the sketchy nature (nice brush strokes too). It has a sort of dreamy appearance.

embryotic - loved that comic the colors and the dynamics are great!

So I strike again with a 7 page comic. Since it's not translated I'll put the translation after the page that has the text.

Creative Writing Report 2004/2005
Made by:
- Dália Mateus (Diceased)
- Raquel Dias (nº34182)

To teacher Isabel,
Contradicting all the reports from this subject, this one has the solo objective to record what happened to the hand over of the paper to be done by me and my classmate.
Given the criation of this written paper was completely to be done by Dália it became impossible for me to redo this component after what happened.

http://nekoi.no.sapo.pt/postscriptum/p4.jpg

One year after Dália's death I turn in this report has my tonken for giving up this paper. If the needed words were responsible for her distress, I rather not think at all of its seriousness. I accept a null evaluation since it is more than Dália has ever given worth of her writing.
I apologise for the late handing over,
Raquel Dias ( In Dália's Name).

panel 5:
This House is my book. But its doors will only open when the book will close.....unfinished, the book, closes the house. So this is the promise from someone that gives her last try to the pages. In hope that its speaks to me, that its answer me.

panel 6:
I give up. I'm sorry for the time wasted reading this sentece. Definitely, I QUIT!

ps: But I was enjoying your book.....
The End

I guess the translation will not give the right feeling to it since my english is a bit weak.

Enjoy.

Great work everyone!
And thanks Roberto for setting this up. What a great way for everyone to see eachother's work.

[FRENZIEDmind]

Scott's on board! Thanks man! Throw some of your work up here!

I'm still story-boarding the ending to Pair-of-Dummies and bridging to the next arc. So I worked on another character.

I'm actually out of town for another week. But I'll see if I can do something.

[apprentice]

Hey JH-Saucedo, yeah, Werewolf & Firefly theme is education and inpirations. I like the line of action in your skecth. I can feel the power.

FRENZIEDmind, your characters have strong basic shapes. I bet it'll be fun to see them animated in 3D. Keep us updated.

ssava, thanks for reading. Look forward to to see your work here.

[apprentice]

Roberto, thanks for the advice and links. They are really usefull.

[FRENZIEDmind]

FRENZIEDmind, your characters have strong basic shapes. I bet it'll be fun to see them animated in 3D. Keep us updated.Thanks. I've railroaded myself into sticking with the most simple and stylized of shapes and designs, just so I can actually create something (because I'm not very fast at realism and comic styles which causes me great frustration) and develop it into sequential art and tell a story.
I've seen a couple of 3D characters that look exactly like mine if they were 3D (see http://shakes.cgsociety.org/gallery/ ), and I'm not sure I like it. Those Funki-Punky characters also have 3D version that those guys created and while they look awesome, there's just something about the flat cell-shade appearance that I like. I've seen some very cool looking 3D characters that are successfully cell-shaded, but something is removed from the character once they go machine-3D. Besides, there would be big problems with how I render the eyes, the facial expressions, and the characters appendages that would cause major havoc with a 3D design (not that it couldn't be done...). 'Course then there's the aspect that I'm too poor and strapped for time that I can't develop a 3D version...
