A Storm's Lullaby Page 81

Dear Patrons!

 You may noticed that the story has slowed down a bit: it will slow down  even more. Cliffhangers, fights and revange arcs are going to be shelved  for a bit, as we are shifting towards a slice of life/healing genre.  Next several dozen pages are going to be about nursing Lulu back to  health, family fluff, romance and just plain life. Page about coffee. Or  taking a bath. Yes, and a bit of drama, too of course.  And those of you who foll...

Comic Trivia #32

Two Point Perspective.

In this perspective an object is  represented in two dimensions and parallel lines of those dimensions are  converging towards left and right vanishing points. 

A building would be more typical example, but these are scarce in  my work so far:

Not much to say about this page other than dialogue is once again, essential. Thitsle makes a choice.

Comic Trivia #31

1-point perspective shows how  things appear to get smaller as they get further away, converging towards a single vanishing point VP on the horizon line -- for example when we look down the road.

 A horizon line (or eye level line)  represents the viewer's eye level.

Here are objects drawn ...

Behind-the-scenes #03

This week's behind-the-scenes video is a bit of a spoiler for Page...78 - sorry about that! The video I wanted to post didn't record properly :( If you want to avoid spoilers, make sure to check it out later.

Anyway, enjoy some  fast-forward inking to the tune of Aviators  "From All Sides (Feat. Bronyfied)".

Here's page 1 of 2 of  highly anticipated Rust Wing backstory. It's distilled, pared down version, because we don't want to spend too much time on him, right? 

I'll tell you right away that it's not meant to force you like him, forgive him or even feel sorry for him, as he is being slowly tortured by our protagonist for foalnapping and hurting her child. 

It is meant to provide some sort of explanation of his unhinged character, according to the th...

A Storm's Lullaby Missing Page

Today I have...a missing page. 

I plan to publish ASL Book 1 as PDF soon and I'm currently working on fixing those shaky first pages, where I was still learning the ropes.  Honestly, I would love to redraw them, but instead I'm doing small corrections and tiny changes.
