I just finished drawing 21 pages of NM for print in 10 days.
deadlines are the bane of my existence.
i think i'll go die quietly somewhere now.

i love the third panel down, of andre, the best.

how are you doing the tones on this? with the computer?

i still haven't figured out how to buy this. sigh. i looked around on that website, and my local comic store doesn't carry it.

yeah, i wish i could do the tones by hand, because i just like doing everything by hand a lot better, but it's too expensive and time consuming (for now) so i'm toning it on the computer. *_*
it's very experimental, tho, because i have no clue what i'm doing, or what style i like best. *_*

it's hard to buy right now i guess at local comic stores, although you should be able to order it through diamond comics or so i'm told.
by this summer we'll have an ISBN number, and that will make it all groovy.

in spain we have a saying which roughly translates as "an evil plant never dies".
I live by it. XD

Oooh - O.O I love Vanya and Andrei...my favs...Rather beautifully done. Although, I'm no hand expert, but...the hands on the last panel look a little...odd? *runs back to practicing her own crappy hands*

[abril]

yes, they do...
her hand on top looks weird, but so do lots of other details when you're working sequential on short notice. T_T

sometimes you just can't figure out how to correct some things.

[wastedmisery]

I feel your pain - sequential art is difficult T_T You still always manage to do a great job!!! You do well with computer shading...I still have to learn :p

[abril]

I'm still learning, all the pages look different in mood from each other and really inconsistent...
i guess it's just a question of practice.

XD
i just realized this thing is full of vamps and NOONE gets any biting action... *_* *runs back to meddle with the script*

Can I just say how awed I am, not only of your work, but of how far it's evolved since I first started reading Natura Mortura? Really, it's a huge leap, and quite fun to see.

I like doing the same comic for such a long time and all over again precisely because i can clearly see the process.
many artists would have worked on different stories over this time, but i like to go over the same problems over and over again and try to improve them rather than just moving along, so i think it does become fun to watch, i thought just for me.
i'm glad you're not bored, *_* sometimes i think my way of doing things might be tedious.
