An Unintended Snub

I haven't got time to write much of an entry at the moment, but I realized I had forgotten to post page 4 here (though it was posted in my deviantart gallery)

Remember, reads from right to left (not that it matters much on this page... the higher text is still read first)


Heterochromia: Page 4
Well. That took longer than I'd hoped. Turns out, it's difficult to express romance and shock in the same panel in tones. I dunno if there's enough contrast between the background and the main figures... I'll come and look back later, I guess (though, I might as well just move on and do better in the future instead of going back and fixing little things like that...) I'm sort of surprised the lines turned out as well as they did, because this page got really rushed back in January. You'll notice the lines are a bit thick. Also, my style, at least for drawing hair, changed a little bit. We'll see if that sticks around. Kind of wish I could fix Tamino's face. (Oh, and no--he's not communicating telepathically, I just thought I'd try balloon-less text) Not much (relatively) to say this time -- guess it's just been too long since I drew it, and I'm starting to get my toning routine down.

Pages 5, 6, and 7 have also been completely drawn and inked, but I haven't toned any of those yet (or added the lettering and things...) Look for those soon, although they may be delayed in coming due to certain research papers I haven't started writing yet. >_> I hope to post again between then and now.
