    Can I quote that little bit?

    Also, my plan would be much easier. Helm of Opposite Alignment. If she's LN, I'm sorted. If she's LE, I'm VERY sorted. If by some reasoning she's LG... I still have more chance than if I leave her as normal. XD

    Technically she's LS - Lawful Stupid.

    Maybe you'd get a blackguard Miko that thinks she's always wrong but she's actually usually right?

    It is surprising how people picture the characters different in their head. Although the pictures are excellant I pictured and looking much older. They look like they were about 15 or so. I definitely pictured curvier but that may be because I like women with curves.

    2.) Use layers. It's fairly obvious you didn't, since the fill left an obvious white margin around nearly every ink line.

    3.) The undershirt beneath the chain shirt should be colored. It's not exactly obvious when you read the reference strip, but if you go back to #001, you'll see that Elan was wearing a green tunic/shirt. It's pretty logical that his undershirt is that same one, and so Nale's would also be a similar article.

    And finally,
    4.) Use shading. Makes things a helluva lot more dynamic. Even "cel" style shading is better than flat colors. Look up some tutorials or something and practice. It'll look bad at first, but keep it up and you should be able to get something decent.

    This is probably the biggest help right here. Layers help with the coloring (software like GIMP is the go-to here, if you're on a budget), and also with shading. You stick the line drawing on one layer, put the colors on a second layer (or one for each color, if you so feel), and the shading on a third layer. Set the top two layers to multiply. This means that the black lines of the drawing will "bleed through" to the top, and when you color, it'll allow you to brush close in. It also means that if you use a single color (gray) on the shadows layer, it'll automatically darken the colors beneath, so you don't have to figure out what to use for shading.

    Actually, you don't need the third layer in this case. Elagune shades his own drawings. Just make the second layer transparent. Though the bottom one contains a small error with the boot.

    Unless you're ready to spend $1000+ on software, GIMP is the image manipulation program. It's Photoshop, but free. Of course, I don't know if they've fixed the total lack of CMYK support (a good thing to have when planning to make prints) yet...

    I have also sifted through 33 pages of discussion to say that I really like what you said about Eiichiro Oda. So much so that I have put it in my sig. Keep this thread in mind for blowing off steam and you'll know when the time is right to do another one.

    Its a genre thing. Elagune explained that the eyes are mutable in manga and that the red signified his rage, not that he had different eye color.

    Quote Originally Posted by Mando Knight View Post

    He's only drawn in black & white so far for the pages he's done, and it's informal anyway, he doesn't need to get complicated.

    By shading, you mean grey tones? Elagune does use line shading and has explained his fondness for black & white.

    Prime, that's nice, imho

    I'd definitely consider trying to do another one if someone could explain that particular layer-thing to me. I use GIMP and know what layers are, and I had read the comment earlier in the thread, but I simply didn't understand the technique. To not clutter up the thread, one of you two who were so keen to help might be able to send some step-by-step introduction to me by PM?

    Thanks

    what bout Miko in black doing that...Thriller dance with back up dancer zombies ( i assume its thriller and micheal jackson, the one where you have the clawed hands shifting from side to side)

    all the while her expression is completely serious.

    Dance Fighting ftw!
    ----------------

    Love the art, love Xykon, I love your capture of durkon, his expressions for the Martyr attack are great. But it reminds of one major reason why the Oots Comic is great, The impact of dialogue of the stick figure version is so much greater because of the graphics, while i'm reminded of looking at manga and looking at all the pretty detail and the dialogue just being background.

    its two styles and i love em both, good job.

    These drawings are really cool. And amazing.

    Though I think I might have failed my saving throw towards bias in terms of manga.

    Just one small nitpick (and sorry if this has been mentioned before) but technically, manga is supposed to go from right to left.
