Ehksidian Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 wow... it's rare to see a hand-drawn series around here... and I like it. It's nice drawings, but it needs color... but that'll happen later, right? Oh well, still like these. Even if they lack color.

Jakiro Kotaro Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 thanks for the comment X.i always liked to draw more so thanspriting comics. as for colored comics: i try to finish themas soon as i can, but with school work and myextra curriculars, it's tough to find time todo so. But, i was able to squeeze in some time to colorcomic three last week. New Content:auto's punishment (color version) now for the reason why i colored comic three instead of one and two.it was easier. it had less panels than the other two comics, and i wanted to tryout a new coloring technique i learned two weeks ago, and comicthree was the perfect test subject.enjoy ~Jakiro Kotaro~ Quote Lightning voyager huh...i chose the wrong time to hold a metal rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehksidian Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 wow, it looks amazing in color... did you do it on the omputer? Even if you did, it's still impressive. Love the overall effect going on.Keep it up! Quote Steam name: Ehksidian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakiro Kotaro Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 yeah, i did.the re-outlining and coloring all happenusing photoshop elements on my computer.the colors are easier to work with in photoshop than real paint.coloring using real paint and color penciltakes a lot of time, and it's tricky to get it rightnot to mention it's more expensive. i still do the b/w comics with real pencil and ink,i just do some adjusting in Photo shop to whatever imessed up. and even in photo shop, i still use my hands(i own a pen tablet).

Although, I kinda imagined Auto being almost completely red.well i used the older color scheme that i used in my original comics so that's why he's more yellow.also, i got your PM about your appearance change. i'll be updating your character soon.Ouchies...

King Joe Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Good luck!I must say this was one of your better comics.

Here's comic 7:Game over (a.k.a. end of chapter one)now a little about this comic: my scanner was having a bit of trouble the other day, so i couldnot upload the line art for my comic so i could color it digitally. so i decided to use color pencils.it was my first time using pencils to color my comics and i was pretty pleased with the results. i did this for thethree comics after this one as well while i waited for y scanner to be fixed. i hope you all like it.

Taka Nuvia Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Welcome back! =DI think coloured pencils work well for comics; you can do quite a lot with them... and I think they worked nicely for your comic, too! It's good to see you're still active and making comics, because it would really be a pity if this series weren't continued. Although I have to admit that it's a little hard to get back into the story after a longer break.Can't wait for chapter 2! ^^*follows the topic* Quote My art collection topic - updated!

The right addressnow a little info:Jakiro is still fretting about his scores and his family honor, and as he does so, a new character appears.i was little of lazy when i colored this comic and i was really lazy when i drew the hands on Darc, so it doesn't look asgood as i would have liked to, but i'm not too disappointed with the product so...yeah.i added a shadow effect using photoshop and edited some bits of the image to look slightly better.hope you all like is.Comment and criticize Quote Lightning voyager huh...i chose the wrong time to hold a metal rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taka Nuvia Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Yep, I really like the combination of traditional and digital media. You are quite goods at creating an atmosphere in your comics, IMO. ^^Apart from that, it's a classic introduction comic, but it doesn't tell that much of a story; that's absolutely fine, though.yeah, i agree with you there. i never really used color pencils for much, so i don't have a huge amount of experience in coloring with comics. if you can make a tutorial, it will be greatly appreciated.
