Woo been a while

but now posting stuff means

First some Haloweenieness

Depending on your screen this might look way dark

And then some comicyness that I am calling Deep Down

So huzzah

Looks great! Glad to see you back around here! I didn't even notice the color shift until I saw you'd pointed it out, it'd be cool to gradually change the colors perhaps

Angi- Thanks, I am usually around I just am super Super lazy about posting. I do the, I will reply to that thread... er I will reply to it a bit later I am just going to check other threads first... well I should probably do some drawing. Then I go smoke and watch youtube. So yes LAME, but I am trying to get ontop of actually posting regularly again

These comics look much better on a larger scale vs. the uploads you had on deviantart. The Frankenstein's Monster looks terrific and the Medusa looks like it should be on a shirt.

And yeah, fix up those grays. That's the only issue I see here.

i honestly think it would work better with a little warmer gray.

Rof- Yeah I find on dev I keep forgetting to click the "display whatever whatever" roll down and put them at original size :S I fixed the grays turns out it was because I few of them were in cmyk mode a dur doing on my part.

Haven: I agree, the reason I am doing it this way is that if I print this up to take to cons and such, for cost reasons it is much more beneficial to do gray scale rather than a couple degrees off grey to a warmer one and pay full colour. And I do like having the images on the net and printing match, I don't want people to feel like they are getting less from a printed version than they would otherwise. (really because they might actually pay for a printed version I want them to feel like they are getting more if anything)

More updates to Deep Down

peek behind the scenes.... I am REALLY pissed I flubbed the line weight on the last panel it should really be the same as on the first...BLARG!

HAVEN! · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 13, 2010, 01:57 PM »

i wouldn't call it too big of a flub, the comic still reads just fine.

Hav- I don't think it destroys it but it is one of those things that I see and really dislike

Kinda like that panel where he is missing his approny thing :S DER DOING!

Now angry cats

And more comicyness

wonderful stuff. the knight piece is really well done. wordless is beautiful. like your stylization of the the body too. hope to see the rest of it.
the thin white outlines on the Black entity really helps to subtly offset it from the background.
Your grays works Great but I wonder if a few more changes in the overall tone of a panel or 2 would do anything for it.
peace

Reve- Thanks I am glad you are liking it so far. I am trying to hit the right balance between enough tone and not enough has been hard so far :S Like I found when I just put it genrally into the bg's it really flattened things out but like in panel 3 of strip 11 I found having the tonal touches really helped. So I will have to figure that one out better as I go

Forgot to put this when I did it WARIO!
