Artist's Comments

UPDATE: I've realized that this'll help more people if I place it under Tutorials, so there. =D Thanks to all the deviants who suggested it ^___^ I also moved "WHA-PAK" and Sam: Threefolds to the tutorials section as well.
**********************************************

A lot of aspiring comic artists seem to focus only on style, and not much on storytelling and characterization. Being a comic book artist not only requires the ablilty to draw, but also, the ability to tell a story. And to be able to tell a story visually, you have to be able to give life to the characters- make them look more animated and energized on the page.

One way to do it is through exaggeration. You can give life and energy to the most simplest and boringest situations, and you can apply this to any style. See above and compare the actions on the left with those on the right. I think you'll agree that it's really not that difficult. And I'm not exaggerating! :lmao:

This was actually part of my lecture during last week's seminar, but I don't think the audience was able to see these clearly so I'm posting it here for your convenience. ^__^ Hope this helps folks!

that thing on cloud's arm is a "bishie-effect" ribbon... you tie it on bishies when their clothes are too loose so that you can see how slim they really are...and when things get out of hand, it can be used by sephi to tie cloud (to the bedstand) by the wrists. :D

Sephiroth still looks like he's gonna kiss cloud.

Love the "Integral" character. :XD:
