Well. Doing two pages at once was not a good idea, but at least it allows to see better what can be optimized and what cannot!
Next page on Saturday, in a few days 🙂
And for those who liked the unfinished version better : https://thelittlewarriorcomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/104.png
oh my god the dancing xD
A good slave has to entertain!
Aw man you are spoiling us with two pages at once! Love a good training montage. I can almost hear the Rocky theme being played on a single flute with entirely too much enthusiasm
I really love that these pages can trigger all sorts of different emotions depending on the person 🙂 your interpretation is really fun^^
Looks good to me. But it works for me and well…I did flunk village idiot school, got the scars to!
Ah, don’t downplay yourself 🙂 I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t feel it worked – thank you for appreciating this unfinished state too, and stating it 🙂
Also, I know you won’t leave the bold, stylistic colours… but I always like to think when you do this*, that you are striping it down to the simplest elements, only that which matters. So our mind’s eye can focus on what is important, instead of being drawn into wasting precious intellectual resources on admiring the rapturous picture. That you’re rendering it to the elemental, raw, //mere// storytelling… and I simply love it.
(I do also enjoy the majesty of the full colour pages, but these artful splashes of colour feel… I dunno, //pure// to me.)
* A hurried/rushed posting that you feel isn’t finished, but yet still conveys the story.
Hey, I completely get it^^ there’s a good reason The Man Who Shot Lucky Luke is in the right tab of this website. Just look at that : https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/The-Man-Who-Shot-Lucky-Luke/Full?id=103882#42
I love this aesthetic too, it’s just… I don’t want to limit my experience of coloring the pages to just outline shapes and paint-bucket them, it would feel like robot work. I want more fun, possibilities, and opportunities to explore. I love volume, want to get the feel of the rocks and the dust, the overall experience to get as sensual as I can bring it to be.
Maybe it’ll be of some comfort that I had already taken note of it when you said it earlier, and in Chapter 4 this style will have its role to play, it’s planned 🙂
Also, I’ll most certainly use it when I get around to doing another Wanderer story. And, it’s still early, but… there’s another, extensive story that takes place after The Little Warrior. Maybe I’ll chose this style, who knows?
Thank you for this love letter, it means a lot.
Hmmm. Falling rocks. Ominous.
