[Liokora]

Here will be to question's topic ! If you have some, I'll be glad to answer ! ^-^ I will update this thread based on your questions.


F.A.Q.

Ray_quazaa : The Caterpie provides a great comic relief to the seriousness! Will we see more caterpies in the future?

We'll see more caterpies very soon, but they won't have the same role than "this" Caterpie ! :p
Your remark make me think about doing an extra little story about Carterpie past ahah ! I will consider this for the future !


Pokemon Trainer Sarah : About how long does it take you to finish an average page?

I take about 10h to make a page, from sketch to color @_@ !!

[ray_quazaa]

You're wonderfully talented! The Caterpie provides a great comic relief to the seriousness! Will we see more caterpies in the future?

[Liokora]

Awww ! Thank you ! *-* We'll see more caterpies very soon, but they won't have the same role than "this" Caterpie ! :p

Your remark make me think about doing an extra little story about Carterpie past ahah ! I will consider this for the future ! (until I finish my school year, I'll focus on main story, cause I won't have much time to do extras ; ; ).

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

This isn't really a question but I just read all of Pokemon Alpha so far and the art is very impressive! It's a very interesting story and I can't wait to see what happens next. I am also a fan of poor Caterpie, I hope someone notices him! :) Keep up the great work! I guess I will ask... About how long does it take you to finish an average page?

[Liokora]

Thanks !! ^-^ I'll keep working hard and I hope continue to progresse and give you the best drawing I can !! :)

I take about 10h to make a page, from sketch to color @_@ !!

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Wow that is a long time. It must take a lot of dedication to make a comic! I can tell you must spend a lot of time on it because the art quality is so great! ^_^

[Liokora]

Hi everyone !!

First of all, I would like to appologize because I haven't been active lately I got a lot of things to do this year (in particulary school works). But from now, I'll try to be more present. And it begun with this topic where I'll post some extra works ^-^ This summer, I'm planing to make poll to know what you all would like as extra drawings ! But in the meantime, here is few drawings, I hope you will lika it :)

[Liokora]

You're welcome C:

Hahaha I really like Mitch's XD
Aw Myrtille :'C

[Liokora]

Hi there !!

I'm making a new topic because recently, I was wondering about what do you like in a pokemon comic ?

Like Arena battles, Epic battles, love stories between characters/pokemons, sacrifices to reach a goal, fun sittuations...

Of course, I have my own preferences and orientations for Pokemon Alpha, but knowing what people looking for when they read a pokemon comic would help me to put more or less battles/love/etc.... :3

[Caite-chan]

For someone who doesn't really read much in the way of Pokemon comics *gasp* I know...lol but for me I like a little comic something that makes me laugh along with adventure.

[Suicune's Fire]

I LOVE Nuzlockes. xD They're a big "yes" for me. I also love expressions and long-ish pages. However, it doesn't annoy me if these things aren't present. I love seeing the artist have fun and such. I enjoy seeing pokemon have good personalities rather than being plain or boring... I also like it when the trainer really cares for their pokemon. In the case of a non-trainer story, I always find battles pretty cool. An overload of dialogue puts me off a little, although I know this can be relatively necessary.

So far I love your comic so I may as well list everything in it. XD

[Suicune's Fire]

Wow, ten hours... That seems about right. xD So much work, honestly. I applaud people who keep up their comic work! I've done a few in the past and I've found it really hard to keep up with them.

I have a question: how do you actually make the comics? Do you hand-draw them first and then digitise them? Do you even do them digitally? O: And what program do you use?

What part of the process do you find the hardest, and what do you find most enjoyable? Would you consider doing a colouring tutorial for us to see? :]

[Liokora]

Hi there ! :)

Since Suicune's Fire was interested in how I am painting my pages, I made a small guide to show how I'm doing Pokemon Alpha ^-^ I hope it will helps ! :)

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/874843process.jpg

[Suicune's Fire]

I find your process fascinating! O: I absolutely love how you do it all. Maybe "inlay" is "overlay"? I'm not sure, haha. But thank you so much for posting this! It's super awesome to see how you go about it. ^w^

[Liokora]

Ahhh yup ! I think it's overlay ^-^

[Liokora]

Hey everyone !!! ^-^

[Liokora]

OOH, YES. Add me please! :D

Yay ! Added ! ^-^

[Noblejanobii]

If you ever get time I would love to see more of these. I especially like the "I Am the Mockingjay" one, though the first one with Mew and Arceus is great too. They're very cute and I think it would be nice to have more of these with the current team.

[Chibi Altaria]

I second that! I would love to see more random doodles like these, or even just a few sketches!

[Fate]

These are wonderful! I just love parodic things like that Mocking-Pidgey. Brilliant! And they all have such great expression, too. The Squirtle is just screaming "Ah. Nirvana."

[Liokora]

Ahhh I copletly forgot this thread!! Shame on me xD

I may won't be able to do a lot coloured ones until the end of my "end of study project" (i'm not sure if it exists in english o.o ) which is going to take me a lot of time. I'll be done with my studies on september, I hope you'll be patient until then, I promise I'll do some coloured stuff!!! :D

On the other hand, I should be able to do sketches since I sometime have to wait for my work at school ^-^

PS : I also reupload the sketchs above, I've just seen that the link were broken ;'(

[Suicune's Fire]

Hooray, I got the notification! XD I think tag lists are a great idea. :3

[Liokora]

I guess they need to sleep a bit :3

[Liokora]

Well I started to play pokémon go ! It's really fun *^* So... I had to draw this !!! xD

[Liokora]

Hey there ! :)

I was thinking about you guys comments yesterday and... that's true that Roch is never smiling... and I ended sketching Roch smiling.. well, he did his best!

http://i.imgur.com/w6XKnYe.jpg

[Liokora]

A little something for Halloween ! :D

I take this opportunity to say that there may be no updates for a while. I'm moving from France to London soon so I have a lot of stuff to take care of >.<

I don't know when I'll be able to continue pokémon alpha but I hope it will only take few weeks :3

http://www.smackjeeves.com/images/uploaded/comics/1/0/7/107laxh6qcexMq.jpg

[Neo Emolga]

Now that is an awesome and beautiful picture! I love Maka with bat wings. And PLEASE let Pasku keep the vampire cape, because it makes him look even more badass.

Also, good luck and all the best with the move. Here's to hoping you'll be happy and cozy in your new home. :3 We'll see you when you get back!

[Suicune's Fire]

I love the Halloween picture! So awesome. :D I adore your technique. The brushes you've used are so effective, especially with those little cool lights. c: Maka with zubat wings is so cute. >w<

[Liokora]

Neo Emolga : I see that you like Pasku's cape hehe :3 Then, I'll try more artworks with it *^* Maybe we'll see him with this cape in the comics who knows! :p
Suicune's Fire : Thank you!! :D Sometimes it's about luck to find the good brush because I have tons of it and it's not tidy at all ahah!

I just moved into my new home in London! And I'm really glad to me here :3

[Liokora]

Hello~ !! :)

It's not a pokémon alpha comics so I don't know if it's okay to post it here, but I draw this while farming my rowlet shiny... I know, I'm an horrible person :'D...


http://orig06.deviantart.net/dd80/f/2016/342/b/3/rowlet__i_choose_you____by_liokora-daqxruq.png

[Noblejanobii]

How long does it take to farm these? I've heard the cutscene is pretty long.

[Liokora]

How long does it take to farm these? I've heard the cutscene is pretty long.

Yes, it's pretty long ; ; It's about 2'40 by reset... I'm doing this for days ahah :p

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Haha awesome comic! xD I reset just for an Adamant nature and it took me like 4 hours. ;-; Having cut scenes on either side is so mean! Why did they do that?! D: Good luck getting your shiny! :)

[Noblejanobii]

Yes, it's pretty long ; ; It's about 2'40 by reset... I'm doing this for days ahah :p

Well good luck! That sucks!

[Suicune's Fire]

HAHAHHAA THIS IS AMAZING. XD I love it so much, omg. The drawings are perfect. Awesome job with this comic! I imagine it's going to take you a veeerrrryyyy long time to get a shiny... e__e GOOD LUCK!

The comic made me laugh out loud, so missions accomplished! XD

Also I just realised...all pokemon would have a different English and French name, right...so you have to remember two names for each pokemon. XD That's so confusing!

[Liokora]

Pokemon Trainer Sarah : Yeah ; ; That's longer than other games. Well, I like cut scenes in general... but I came to hate this one x'D
Suicune's Fire : Ahah I'm glad I made you laugh :D And yup, I learn both french and english names... I often check pokémon names when I'm working on pokémon alpha dialogues because I'm not always sure if I'm right :p

[Liokora]

Merry Christmas everyone!! :3 Nielle and her friends are enjoying their christmas party :D Maybe you'll find in what are the guys cosplaying?

http://i.imgur.com/8C7Xc4l.jpg

[Suicune's Fire]

OH MY GOSH THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! I love it! Ahahahha, I loooove Roch as a delibird. So funny! NIELLE WHY AREN'T YOU COSPLAYING. XD Leaving it up to the professionals, I guess. :3 Sam as a stantler seems fitting too. ALSO AHAHA the pikachu's face on the top of the tree. XD Like "Why." Heheh. I love how Sam's ursaring has holly in her hair. >w< So cute. Very awesome picture. :D :D

[Neo Emolga]

The best is the Pikachu that looks like he's mimicking grumpy cat. XD

There's so many funny and cute things going on in this picture. Like Roch who doesn't look crazy about a Pidgeotto perching on his head to the Wartortle that couldn't care less and just want to chow down on some snacks. XD

Very cute and nicely drawn! Hope you have a Merry Christmas also, Liokora!

[Liokora]

Suicune's Fire : Ahah next year Nielle will maybe cosplaying!! :D

Neo Emolga : Thank you!! I had a great christmass, I hope yours was good too *^*

And happy new year everyone! I had no much time to do a huge thing but for the year of the rooster, we got Jambo dressed as a rooster hehe :p

http://img2.smackjeeves.com/images/uploaded/comics/1/z/e/1zeczyzspzASuQ.jpg

[Suicune's Fire]

Ohh my gosh, Jambo as a rooster is adorable. xD I love how unimpressed he looks! Classic.

[Neo Emolga]

His face totally says "whose crazy idea was this!?"

Great job and hope you have a great and happy new year, also!

[Liokora]

Ahah it's totally it x'D "why me..........." :'D

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I only just saw this but it's really cool and interesting! I like learning about new ways to do digital art! Thanks so much for sharing!

[Noblejanobii]

Ohhh nice. I might consider this if I ever make a comic.

[Neo Emolga]

I will definitely say I have referred to this quite a few times when doing my own art stuff.

It's a really awesome and well-prepared guide. I love it when really awesome artists do this, because it helps others get better. :3

[Liokora]

Aww I'm glad it helps !! I, myself learning in watching other artists, I guess it's a good way to improuve :D

[Liokora]

Annnd another extra! Tryed to work on Nielle and Grimm :)

http://img04.deviantart.net/364d/i/2017/010/e/4/nielle_and_grimm_by_liokora-dauweha.png

[Suicune's Fire]

Omg, Charizard Grimm! Awesome job. :D I love the blurred background and the cool effects you've got going on. C: And wow, Nielle's eyes look so cute! And I like her shiny cheek. XD Cool style. :3

[Neo Emolga]

Daamnnnn, that's epic! I really like the background glow and the way you did the shading!

I also like how you did the eyes. Makes you want to go "oooh, shiny!"

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Grimm looks awesome. I love the fir and lightning effects in the background too! The colouring on Nielle's clothes and hair is amazing! :D

[Liokora]

I'm glat you guys liked it! *^* I tryed something a bit different from usual but I think it's goo to try new things sometimes hehe! :3

[Liokora]

Happy Halloween everyone!!! \(^-^)/
