Artist's Comments

A study of one of my currently active roleplay characters. Cassandra is from Malton in the Urban Dead setting. She's recently been transferred over to another game due to the original one kinda dying down.

This piece was mainly to experiment with my digital manipulation skills. I need to work on my shading a bit and it would be nice to find a faster way to clean up images after scanning. >.> Took me about a full week to finish. If I wanna do this for every comic page I (hopefully/maybe) will end up doing then I had best find a way to speed up the process. Comments and critiques are welcome.

Well, an easier way to clean up can be found here: [link]

Then you can flatten the lines to Black and white. Make it all clean that way. Or you can do what I do, which is to "ink" your lines over in the program itself.

Some ideas.

I like her pose, very nice "I don't care" posture. Was she burned or am I way off?

Best!

Ahh, sah! This style is wicked on your stuff! :O I don't know but when I wasn't looking you took a leap upwards in skill. Are you perhaps on art crack?

I think you've used and shown the space in this picture very well -- the shadows help to illustrate the room, which I loooove that you've thought to add... anywhoo, general high-fivage on this picture. Plus, it's Cass, which means it's extra awesome! :D

Love the art, before yourself.

She's been killed, torn apart and brought back multiple times. Hence the hideous scarring. :)

Thanks sah! :D I think it was that artgrind challange that helped a lot. Still not fully pleased with it, but I'm getting there. Trying to follow a Titan A.E./Disney style for the drawings now. I find the somewhat cartoonish look appealing.

Frackin' awesome, Sah-in-law! :P I also love that you didn't shirk with the shadows -- it makes the image look much more dynamic, this way. It also looks more like she's being illuminated by fire or candle-light, which I'd assume would be more true to Malton than those stupid never-ending generators and fuel cans. 9.9

(I love the creepy gleaming eyes in the hole in the wall. XD Oh god, zombie-mouse!)

Hee hee hee... thanks! I was going for dramatic with the lighting. And the mouse was an after thought. Something had to fill the hole!
