Okay so I've been trying to find a groove to sit into that I enjoy. And after listening to Vcast and reconsidering how I view Max and how I need to present him to others these are the beginnings on what will be his intro comic (sans 3rd page).

I'm posting the raw illustrations in case some of you have input before I move on to inks.

Alright, here is page one of the Intro about half done. Much coloring/highlights need to be applied and adding some missed details here and there. It took me about 5 hours to get this far. I'm wondering what other voiders think of that. Probably way to slow but that is why I'm asking.

Thanks CrackingSkulls and Pineapple Pocky for taking a moment. It's true that I set a higher than necessary standard on these comics. I should try to find a mood that is just loose and fun to do. I'll see what I can come up with

OK, so I've returned after 2 some-odd years to EnterVoid. To be honest I am rather hesitant to start back up. After entering the 2012 invitational I made some discoveries and learned some things. And now I'm dusting off my old character and going to try and make something of the commitment 2 years past.

I've revamped the character bios images and will be doing an intro comic. I could go on and on why I haven't posted anything or why I didn't follow through. That doesn't matter. What matters is progression. I want to progress. There are artist on here that I truly respect. And to be frank I am no where near what I want to be.

SO HERE COMES ROUND 2

It's fine to plan big exciting comics, but set those big exciting comics as your goal for down the line. If you can't do 3 finished comic pages, you're not going to suddenly become awesome and crank out 30 pages in a week. But it's something that can definitely happen down the line. Know your limits, but keep in mind you can gradually increase those limits. Do a complete 3 pages comic this time, next time shoot for 4 pages, then 5 on the next battle, and so on. If you can't surpass 5 pages, keep working on it until you can.

It's fine to set a cool story as your goal down the line, but if you just got into Void or have never managed to finish a comic on the site, don't even think about a big lengthy back story for your character. Remember, no one cares about your character, who they are, where they've been, etc. until you make us like them through your comics, and I'm not going to like them if all I've seen from you are sketches and excuse pages. If you're the type that wants to do a big storyline for them, don't even start planning things until you know you can do it. Getting to do something exciting story wise for them can be a nice goal to work towards, so I definitely recommend not allowing yourself to overthink things until you'll be able to do it.

I can't even begin to thank you for this. The solutions to problems often stare us in the face and we don't look back.

With the invitational going on, I know I can't participate in this for a bit. But I am eager to put what I've learned here to practice.

Is it just me or is the FOREVER in angieness' comment next to her icon seem sooo very comical lol

Awesome stuff Kinuchio, you got some serious skill. Eager to see what you will do in the invitational.

Aw yeah, thanks underwoodwriter for the pic of Max! Getting me all pumped about some fanart of my own.

Alright lets see if I can do this

Max is a loner, having little interest at first glance in social contact. He strives to avoid it. However he is not incapable of it. Possessing a harsh mentality is a defense he's developed to keep himself distant, due to his low self esteem.

Max's powers are broad spectrum psionic abilities (i.e. Telekinetic, Telepathic, Pyrokenetic, Cryokenetic, Psychometabolic, etc...) boiling down to one generalized phrase. Mind over matter. Which is Max's power in a nut shell, not only can he do just about anything his mind can fathom (short of manipulating reality at a molecular level). The level of proficiency displayed is that of a seasoned master in the use of his powers. Though the origins of his abilities are shrouded in mystery with his own past.

Max has come to void to "lose himself" in a chaotic world.
