Pulse 421 + WIPs

One of the hardest things to draw is a big bra that someone isn't wearing.  You never know if it looks like it's the right size.

I think this is the second page that was started on the Android tablet before transferring the file to the PC.  The first two WIPs were on the tablet, the rest on the PC.

I wanted Tabitha to first make things better, and then accidentally make things worse.  ...or make the appearance of what happened not be totally cleared up.

Pulse 421 WIP 3

Not sure how far along I'd judge this page, maybe 70% penciled?  Although some of what's left is more complex, so maybe 60% done?

Pulse 422 WIP 1

I'm not sure what I think of the bottom two panels.  It's a little too cute and flirty.  I thought Annie would say in the last panel, "My eyes are up here."

My alternative would be to have Tabitha point at Annie in panel 5 and say "You think he was cheating- but if the bra fits, you must acquit!"

Then in the last panel Tabitha would say "I should have a layer, I've got the legs for those short skirts".

Hopefully there will be a lot more finished here with the next WIP.

Sketch Dump and WIPs

A lot of sketches and WIP pictures.  Some of these are inked and just need color, others aren't as far along.

I'm guessing most of these will be easy to identify?  The first three are Eve, then three of Annie, then Grace, then Captain America, then Rikku, then two of Tabitha, then Tifa, and then Y'shtola.

Pulse 420

This is the first page to start out on the Android tablet.  I drew the first three WIPs on it, and then transferred the file to the PC and started inking and finishing it.

I've been waiting for the right time to introduce Jessica Chang to the story.  I wanted her to be the last person to see Annie in her super-body.  Also I wanted to wait until they were starting to meet some of the B-Class heroes, considering she is Mastermind.

I put a few hints with her.  She...

Pulse 420 WIP 3

Okay, since the previous WIP, I transferred the file from my Android tablet to my PC and started inking and completing the penciling in a few places.

I'm trying to give subtle hints that Annie's Mom is Mastermind here.  Her belt is an "M" just like Mastermind, and I suspect her helmet is in the bag.

Still a few more characters to introduce in act 1.  Sasha Keen, who is the second or third most important character doesn't get introduced until act 2.

Pulse 419

You're getting this a little early than everyone else.  ComicFury is really slow right now for some reason, so I'm going to wait a few hours to upload the comic anywhere else.

I kind of have two different paths after this, and I'm trying to decide between them.  One option is that they give up for the day and Annie goes back to building new drones.  The other is that Annie's Mother shows up.  Both kind of end up in the same place.

Pulse 419 WIP 2

It's pretty close to  being done- but I have to complete the lettering, and decide if I'm going to draw new panels of the two previous fights or just copy and paste a panel from the old pages.

Pulse 419 WIP 1

A little behind here because I was trying to decide which direction to go in here.  I haven't worked out all of the dialog yet, but I thought I should post what I've got.

A complaint has been recently that Annie hasn't appeared enough during all of the Silver Dragon flashback chapters, etc.  Although that was necessary based on the situation.  Right now, there are two major storylines happening, one is Annie trying to upgrade her suit- the other is the broken team B of Mi...

Materia Enhanced IV, page 10

Part of the reason to get the Android tablet was to get a portable device that could split up the work I usually can only do at my computer.  So I thought I'd try doing a comic on the tablet too.  Even though at some point I'd switch the file to the PC and complete it.

I'm not sure what I think of his page yet.  I'm worried the pace is too slow compared to previous pages.

Tifa leaves and continues questioning Yuffie and Rikku's crazy story, now that she has more inf...

2012-02-22 Tablet Sketch Dump

Let's see, we have-

  • Evil Pulse
  • Dramatic landing Pulse
  • Annie in a towel.
  • Charlotte, Tabitha and Annie in shirt that make sense, but the reverse of what you'd expect them to say.
  • Kind of a more girly Eve.  She's normally more of a tomboy?  Maybe she's in disguise?
  • I'm not sure who this one should be, if it's ripping clothes, or some kind of sudden growth (any suggestions welcome).
  • 1990's Rogue, as far as I could get wit...

Natalie

From my NSFW Twitter, I posted a pose and asked who it should be, I then selected Natalie from @SpolinP from the choices given.  A lot of the other choices were Tifa or Rikku, and I have other ideas for pictures with them.

One of the requests, Amy as she looked at the end of Missing Materia (which is technically a different Amy from the newer Materia Enhanced restart comic).

Juno and Eve

Drawn on my Galaxy Tab S6 lite, and colored with Krita on my computer.

(The fact that Juno's sunglasses aren't the same size just became obvious to me, and now I'm fighting the urge to fix it.)

VDSD 2021

A picture for the 2021 VDSD.  I started with a "Birth of Venus" idea but with tech, and it became kind of part of her suit being assembled on her.

I drew this on the Galaxy Tab S6 lite and then colored it on my computer.  I'm not sure if it looks different or not.  I think I might have the brushes too thick?

A Little Rikku

Pulse 418 WIP 4

I don't have time to color it, but I posted the comic on ComicFury because I had a news post to that needed to be up today.  I also wonder if Tabitha's arms look odd in the last panel.  Maybe they're too short?

Pulse 418 WIP 3

Started adding in Tabitha.  I usually draw all of one person almost before switching to a second person.  Annie is usually the first I draw because I can easily draw her from memory.
