Neko's Failtastic Art Thread

Whoops- my bad. I'm prone to writing walls of text. xD Inner writer in me does that.

But yeah- dragon anatomy has come from lots and lots of practice. You should have seen how I drew them about a year and a half ago. Much improved since then. xD Sunrise was the first of the two I worked on. I started Nightfall because I had wanted to make a webcomic and decided why not. It was more of a in the moment thing- but I think I'm going to stick with it. xD I'd do both in comic form, but considering how long Sunrise is going to be, that'd probably kill me. I could do Nightfall written, but I do love what making it into a comic allows me to do with the story.

I'm adapting a good number of real animals/mythological creatures, but I've also made a few up along the way- mostly based on existing things but with my own spin on them. Still a lot to do. xD

Well, right now I've got Robin as my main proofreader/helper, but I certainly may look into getting more help in the future. I'm particularly looking for some art help since Nightfall is going to be pretty demanding. Colors are gonna take ages with the style that I'm planning on using. Right now, there's no goal for launch dates or anything. Just pre-production hell that just switched into the next gear of insanity. ='D

xD Beautiful art? Where? I've no idea what you're talking about. (Thanks so much! xD) I try really hard to make pretty stuff, but it's hard and I still need lots of work. As for Nightfall- no launch date ETA anytime soon- still so much pre-production to get done. I want so badly to jump into production, but I need to force myself to slow down and plan.

And yeah- I don't like straightforward plots. I love misleading nonsense and plot twists. I could never do a normal war- there's always going to be something else going on in the background or some greater goal of one side that the other isn't aware of. It's more interesting. =P Though, the main purpose of the war/true threat won't be revealed until late in Sunrise. So very far ahead from now.

Oh, it's totally cool. I like reading. xD

I'd love to create a web comic myself, but that would be a commitment and I seem to have a lot of trouble with those. My motivation usually dies about halfway through. Sad, really. Comics are great, because they rely a lot more on imagery and expression than words, and can allow you more variation. You can also express what anyone else is doing at a given time without having to write a single word about it. If your story's going to be complex and action packed, it would often be best written as a comic (visual) medium.

Awesome! I'm dabbling with my own creations in an original story I *hope* to publish one day. I really love creating my own creatures, it's so much fun! And you can do just about anything with them! The only thing is that if you end up giving them some kind of power, always make sure you don't go overboard, and balance that power out with a weakness. Can't have an OP creation. xD

Well I sure can't wait! I'll keep on the lookout for your sketches and stuff so I can offer helpful feedback. c:
