Pulse 476 WIP 4

Okay, I think this is completely drawn.  I just need to add color and letter it.

I should have kept a before WIP, but one of my last steps was to increase Tabitha's bust a little in all of the panels because I thought she seemed a little too small.

First page with Lucy's new hair I was experimenting with last year.

This is background-heavy page, as you can see.

Materia Enhanced V, page 5

I wasn't originally going to show Yuffie's part of the story.  I thought it was funnier if you only saw Rikku's point of view, but I also thought it might be unfair to imply something was happening without showing it.

Annie Pose Sketch

So I drew Annie in this pose (the second picture) and asked on Twitter how she should be dressed.  She didn't have a bust yet because the outfit would impact the shape and position of her bust.

I haven't completely decided yet- but one suggestion was for a swimsuit, and that seemed like a swimsuit pose.  Some of the suggestions were for a costume, and I worried that you wouldn't see enough of any costume the way she's sitting.

Another one that stood out to me was the sug...

Tali Sketch

I'm not really sure if I'll have it so you can see any of her face or not.  I have I think the first three Mass Effect games in a collection for PS3, but I've never played any of them yet.  I know that in different versions of the game you can kind of see various degrees of her face inside her suit.  But I'm not sure how much I'll show, if at all.

Pulse 475 Unused Version

I forgot to add this to the page 475 post, this is the first version of the page.  I replaced it because I thought the upper panel with Tabitha was taking up a lot of space.

Lune Luna Sketch

This is Lune Luna, I thought it made sense to introduce another mega-busty girl to the story.  But she's more of an internet celebrity instead of a journalist.  She is Xom's friend, and very nice.  Unlike Xom who is doing a job, Lune is enjoying herself.  Lune will probably also have a boyfriend who has Iona's role.

I've tried to give each character a clear color scheme.  Xom is purple, Iona is black and gray, Lune is green and blue.  Xom's sister (I might...

Xom and Iona WIP

I've had a lot of requests for Xom (a character I drew a 7 page comic about in 2009), as well as my worries I'm drawing Annie too much.  I thought I'd try to rework this sketch from last year that I thought had some good parts, but needed to be messed with.  As well as making it wide enough to include all of Xom's bust.

So here's reporter Xom, and Doctor Iona.

Pulse 475 + PSDs + WIPs

Had a talky page, and felt like making it full of fan-service.  I wonder if it'll get removed from Webtoon...  If it does, I might have fun with it and just make it look like Annie and Charlotte are in huge mounds of soap bubbles with only their heads sticking out and resubmit it.

I'm trying to give Charlotte some characterization in this chapter.  She's really nice, she's kind of a tomboy, she smiles and laughs a lot-- and she likes to enjoy herself.  She likes food...

Pulse 475 WIP 3

It's strange Tabitha only appears in one panel maybe?  A lot of little things and one panel mostly left.  Annie usually gets drawn first because I can easily draw her from memory.

Pulse v1, Chapter 3 "AnnOde and CathOde" (2001)

The original Pulse, converted from the original GIF files to PNG files with newer programs.

This is where things start happening.  In my original plan, Annie would have had her rival in Sparrow and in this comic they would have fought and Annie would have won-- and the comic would have been only three chapters long, so that would mostly be the end.

But here, I added Nigel Robbins at the end of the last chapter and I start adding new elements in this chapter.  In this ver...

Pulse 475 & Pulse 476 WIP 1

The next two Pulse pages.  There's some areas that will have dialog later, but there's enough to cover what's happening.


Pulse 475-

In some kind of locker room, Charlotte mentions she's been spending her time since being revived watching all of the shows built up on her DVR.  Her Mother wants her to spend some time outside.  Tabitha tells them both that unless they go with her, it'll be boring.

Pulse 476-

Pulse 474 + PSDs + WIPs

Okay, this page changed a little from the first sketch because part of it was added to the previous page.  For a transition from the previous chapter, I thought I needed to start with a fight scene with Annie's new suit.  This chapter will include Tabitha and Charlotte, so that's the three fighting.  These three will eventually be a team together.

Because this is a webcomic and meant to in a way be read a page at a time, I didn't like shock punch comment happening on a di...

I'll be lucky if this isn't officially late (Thursdays should be the update day, but it's not officially late until Saturday).

Pulse 474 WIP 2

I might need to center Charlotte better in panel 6.  I'm still not sure if they're shocking Charlotte in panel 7, or if that's enough of a hold to be the end of their practice.

Pulse 474 WIP 1

So what happens here is that Charlotte starts using her animal forms here.

 She first turns into her snake form and uses her legs to throw Tabitha-- who then grabs her leg and throws Charlotte.  Charlotte then turns to her eagle form to stop in midair.  Then Annie and Tabitha both tackle Charlotte.

I'm not sure if they shock her or not.

Then she compliments them.  This is going to be the end of the training part of the story.  This chapter is about A...

Shantae

Fun fact: while I own at least one of her video games (the one on Wii U), I've never played any game with her yet.

Someone suggested her, and while I've drawn her before, I'm not sure any turned out great.  I thought I'd give her another shot.  I didn't try to follow her current design, she's gotten so big-headed.  I went more with her older proportions and newer costume.

Checkered Bikini Ideas

Every year in June, I draw a picture of Annie from Pulse in a checkered bikini.  This will be the 22nd year.  Here's some ideas.  I'm not sure what I think of these yet-

  • Option one- Focus on Annie and Tabitha.  There's room for Lucy in the back, but I'd have to adjust if I wanted very tall Charlotte to be included.
  • Option two- Annie, Tabitha and Lucy hug.  Not sure if you'd really see a lot of them though, I think...

Pulse 485-487 WIP 1

This was originally going to be the next three pages, but I thought I needed to have a chapter with Charlotte adjusting to the present.

So what happens here is that Charlotte, Annie and Lucy are on the train at night.  Charlotte is trying to catch up on the shows she's missed.  Then the train stops and the lights go off.

Charlotte opens the door and it's a large area of the city that's out of power as well.  Annie sends out a drone, but after exploring, it's attacke...

The first page of chapter 37.  This chapter will be about Charlotte in a way.  Annie and Tabitha train with her a little and then take her on a tour of the town she hasn't really seen since before she was petrified.

I thought I needed a buffer chapter with Charlotte before acting like everything was normal with her.
