Yes, it's the project that nobody cared about (except for Bombateazer, who may not realise how much help she was). The comic that nobody wants to hear about; That which cannot compete with the contributions of internationally published artists and authors.

My blip on the radar - Storm Drain.

http://paranoir.5gbfree.com/storm.htm

Whacked together from odds and ends, based loosely off an old story, and mostly done in the wee hours of the morning - long after midnight. Seven pages and counting - with script enough for at least fifteen more.

Hand drawn, hand coloured. The only digital editing is to properly crop the images and add in the words. All images taken by digital camera, for lack of a scanner.

I enjoyed the pages so far... And I was able to "zoom in" on the text and it is readable then. My only suggestion would be to sharpen the colors. Question: Is the henchcat supposed to be completely white?

That's nice stuff Flitterbug, though I agree with Rumblepurr that the colours are very light. However i like the idea of having a white henchcat, why not? Does dark always have to be bad? Misto's dark for instance. And on the other hand... white on a henchcat I think it makes him look still more evil, sadistically evil... I like the idea.

One thing... on Sillabub and Etcy's tag game you put a lot of focus (two images) on how Sillabub thinks of a way to climb where Etcy is but you don't make clear how did she finally did it, did you do that on purpose (because it probably has to do with future pages of the comic) or you just left it that way for nothing?

You draw all toms and queens rather sexy with sensual shapes even the kittens... but it's ok.

Nice job!

I'm likin' it already I really like the art style and the writing is very down-to-the-point. I'll be waiting for the next issue.

You're Roman-de-la-Croix? Awesome!!!!!!

[Flitterbug]

In order of inquiry...

The text: Believe it or not - that was the best I could do. It is legible, but it depends on how you veiw the images. At full size, it's readable (for me, at least - and that's saying something since I've needed a new prescription for months). Any other size and it becomes very hard to read.

Eventually, if I continue, the pages may be further enlarged.

The hench-cat: Yep. He's white. *shrugs* What can I say, I dont like to copy. That and it sort of discourages the idea of evil as being something you can see or predict. One breed, or one colour, is not more likely to be 'evil' than another. (For that matter, is he 'evil'? He's only doing his job, after all.)

The colours: Not my fault, luv. With no scanner, and nobody nearby with a scanner, I have to make do with digital photos. That automaticly dulls the colours, and my photo-editing software is very old and not much use.
But I dont think the dull colours detract from the drawings. If anything, the fact that they aren't full and vibrant adds to the mood.
Or, well, it should anyway.

The tag game: I tried. I really did. And fortunately for me, not too many people tend to analyse the sequence... those that do (like you) are often left baffled because they dont take things at face value.
It's not relevant to the story later. It's simply setting the mood. The mood being "Yay! Surprise!" before it cuts to an "oh no! Tradgedy" sot of thing.

Sexiness: I can't help it. And I guess it's no good pointing out that the word 'kitten' is objective since you can have young teens who play tag. Unfortunately for everyone else, my drawing style is very sensual (not my words). I couldn't draw true innocence if I tried... not without making it look enticing.

Roman: Yes, I am... but I try not to spread it around. There are still some people who remember Cassandra's old propaganda.


I also like how the instant I say nobody cares, everyone jumps in with an opinion. It makes a girl feel loved. lol

[Spanish_Rumple]

I would've given my opinion anyway no matter how much stress or frustration you express on the need of somebody watching it... I like fan art and to see different styles of drawing. So far my favourites are you, Roller Boy (why don't you get inspired on his/her way to draw kitts?), asterix, Ahdeya and of course Michaela Oloffson (but she's not into comic very much, and now I tend to focus more on comic because with some friends we're tryng to make a comic not Cats based).

Continue with the story... I want to know how it ends and how, for once, the goody ol' two shoes Mr. Munkstrap gets beaten by Macavity... (no foence... I love Munks, but... #sighs# his personality is not very attractive and he hasn't got sense of humour...lol) On the other hand I'm soooo much tired of the typical topic Bombalurina-Munkustrap-Demeter....

Looks great. The muted colours do work well for the mood, and look amazing for something digitally photographed and not scanned!

I'm glad you went ahead and did your comic.

I love it! It's really nice to look at and I like the fact that it's not all coloured on Photoshop or something...
