Description If you're following the series in order, click here next .

Mozilla just automatically downloaded a new browser, and there went all of my bookmarks! Dammit to Hell! Sorry. It's been a long, wearying day. Anyone know how I can restore all of the old stuff, I sure would like to know. I checked out Mozilla's site, and came up with bupkiss... EDIT (October 7, 2006)--I got it fixed, with some helpful suggestions. Thanks.

I think I need to take some valium and a nice, long rest.

Anyway, on to Page 03. Our heroine obviously possesses some sixth sense, and feels the hackles on her neck rising as the ghoulie nears her. But knowing you're being stalked and doing something about it are two different things. This isn't a host of gremlins pouncing to the attack with some crude, knotted ropes, nor a simple innkeeper who's dumb enough to get in range of the heroine's legs and big enough to recover from her kick. This "guardian" is different. I'm going to try and put Page 04 up later on in the day (technically, it's still Friday for me--I haven't gone to bed yet), in which we just might get to see a better picture of this bad guy...

Enjoy!

I like the way you've shown the size of ol' gnarly compared to her, and those are WICKED nails. Mine go like that just before they split

Interesting to see you doing ink washes. Personally, I'll always be first and foremost a fan of your dense linework, but it's still cool to see your recognizeable style through different techniques. I like the female character in this little series.

Thanks. I'm glad you like them, although they are mixed ink and graphite, not washes. If I could do those heavily textured ink line drawings faster, I'd do everything in them, but it's just not possible, I'm afraid.

Oh, wow, you sure fooled me. I didn't recognize the technique. Oh and believe me, I understand what you mean about the line drawings. They can be time consuming.

The only thing about being so late in commenting on this is that I missed the opportunity to crack jokes about him seeking a manicure (someone beat me to it). So I'll sulk instead, and say great job

Well, as I see it, in drawing this woman a little differently from the others, I am seeking to educate and edify, not merely to tear down her already inevitably fragile ego... As I said before, she's not as big-chested as the others. She's thinner, but still shapely. She's smarter, and tougher, in her own way, but not physically. However, don't worry, she'll get a bit bigger when she loses the dark top.

Thank you! I think showing her motion and what suggesting what she's looking at are the important parts here--with just enough of the background to show you she's still in the garden.

This would be the first drawing of you I don't really like.
Using pencil to finish drawings faster was okay, but you've reached a limit here. This piece looks like you just wanted it to be finished too quickly.
Her butt could be a bit more round and tight, her hair with more detail, the light- and shadow work on her skin with less contrast, as her head looks skinny now, way more detail in the tree and bushes, a bit of texture in the sky, and although the form of the ghoul's hand looks perfect, it would be better to give it more texture to give it a more unhealthy (maybe even rotting) look.
Really, this is a very nice drawing, but I think it just doesn't show the same quality as all the rest of your works.

faile35 In reply to MartinSilvertant [2006-10-07 17:25:29 +0000 UTC]

Well, I certainly can't argue with that. However, I didn't see in my mind the textures you spoke of, so rather than make them up, I just moved on. I think that I tend to simplify backgrounds the further back they appear, but even that isn't always true. And I agree that she appears a bit skinny here, especially since she won't always look that way in the pages coming up. Thanks!

faile35 In reply to rogueunit [2006-10-07 17:33:17 +0000 UTC]

They'll look larger in some of the scenes. I tend to enlarge them a bit when they are bare, and shrink them a tad when they're covered, like this. Don't know why, but it just happens. Oh, but that's not meant to give anything away about where this goes, of course... Thank you.

Try searching in program files for bookmarks.* and then in Documents and Settings. 'Zilla usually stores them as a HTML file.

This is nice... the white background seems a bit spartan, especially for you (maybe some clouds?), but this is just a good intro to the next page. Damn but that girl's got some narrow hips! At least you're consistant in drawing her frame, though, from shot to shot. I like the ghoulish hand as well... Kudos, as always...

You know, sometimes I just have to leave the sky/background white, just to convince myself that I can and actually do it. Otherwise, I seem to forget that it's an option. The next one is the same way, actually, but only one more after it that I have done, and I'm hittin' #12 now. Thanks.
