This page was a challenge. A real challenge.
The whole fight scene thing is very new to me. And most of the logistics were a thing. I used a new art program for panels, I experiemented with different types of effects, and I rewrote the script a couple of times. I ended up doing this twice. And damn... I wanted to make the fight kinda hokey and humorous to reference the dynamic between the two, and contrast...well...things.
I hope I succeeded in that.

But I like the way it turned out. I really do. And I hope you guys do too. Even after more of my terrible cliffhangers. :0)

I also think that that's the most on-model portrait of Jason I've drawn since I started this. Humans are getting better!Β 

(Edit: I changed Silver's nose size. It was a bit too big. Nobody prolly noticed but me, but YOU KNOW WHAT?!?!?!)

XD Β Rose is sort of a weird name for a Cyndaquil though. You'd think that should be Chikorita's name....Whatever. Lol I like this so far.

If it helps, this is part of the inspiration.

It has some meaning to it in the context of her character though.

I'm glad you like it! ^^

Depends on your perspective.

I'm actually glad you asked that. You're the only one so far who's seemed to notice. at least enough to comment. Lol
Showing some things.Β 

The Totodile is named Baldur.

I really love how dynamic this fight is!! It's really playful, since the two are doing this more out of a fun spar than anything. Also, the backgrounds and Pokemon are super on-point. Like, wow, am I jealous.

Don't be jealous. It's just me cannibalising all the tutorials I can and churning them into something resembling a compatable style. Literally anyone can do it.

Your Pokemon look like they could come from some official Pokemon promotional comic or something, they're just really on-model and proportional and I really love it.

Oh, I've been trying my best to improve with Pokemon and backgrounds, but it's an uphill battle. And you've improved a lot in your nuzlocke on these things, which I find super cool and it gives me hope :'D

I'm glad I can inspire you like that.
Hard ass work pays off. It really does. That's literally the entire reason I started the 'locke in the first place. Practice with a purpose and meaning behind it goes much farther than just simply practice, I feel.

I have faith that you can improve too.

This is brilliant, best fight scenes I have seen between two starters, and one of the better battle fight scenes I have seen great job, definitely worth the 2 month wait. The humor is what made this battle special for me, the friendly rivalry helped too, although I wonder how you are doing to deal with things when Pokemon start dying/getting darker, that could really make or break this Nuzlocke. I personally believe you will do a great job, so I have nothing to worry about.

Also I really hope you nail the world building there are so many questions left unanswered and they are driving me crazy, but I am sadly going to have to wait.Β  Β

Don't worry. If this were a novel, we've barely reached past the halfway point of the first chapter. If that. Plenty of time.

Nahh, it's deserved. You're on your war to a professional looking comic. It looks like you brushed up on angles and panel cuts. This is an amazing page. And yeah it looks like the revisions were a really intense training exercise!
And about Jason: What's been your struggle with humans? Maybe I could help!

((I WOULD if I weren't slooow. I JUST started drawing this week!! And I'm getting laser eye surgery tomorrow and mom wants me off the computerrrrrr))

Rasarak In reply to Feymark [2016-05-27 01:28:37 +0000 UTC]

D'aw! <3

Yeah man, I try. I want every page to be a mark of improvement on something. Whether it be anatomy, composition, coloring, w/e. And I'm super hard on myself before and after every update. But I'm pretty sure all artists are like that.
I just struggle drawing them on-model. I practice anatomy and such, and it all got better and whatnot. But I started this comic without a character ref or turnaround, and so it was always super inconsistant until page four when everybody went through a redesign. And then it's just been a case of being on model. I just need to really nail down as many angles as I can.

((OMG. Laser Surgery sucks. I wish you luck and a swift recovery.))

Oh Alright man. You're a really fast grower anyway, so I'm more excited than concerned about your thoughts!
