Title: A New Tale Begins...
Post by: Sky on October 06, 2007, 07:42:14 AM
OK. So I started drawing the comic.
It's harder than I thought. =/

I haven't finished the outlines of the first pages.
So let's start with the cover instead: ;)
Comic Cover (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/LBT-A-new-Tale-begins-66625220)

Story:
Sky lost his friends and wakes up somewhere in the Great Valley.
Not to know what to do now, he makes friends with Littlefoot and the others.
They go on a journey to find Sky's lost friends. But will they find them?

Also by looking closely at your cover art? Does the cover itself tell anything about the story? :)

Some years ago I drew cover art for a story I have been writing trying to include some story elements in the cover. This is your thread so I don't want to put up any pictures here, but if you are interested in taking a look, here are two links to an early version (http://mitglied.lycos.de/malte2709/Old%20Threehorns/Old%20Threehorns%20Cover1.jpg) and a later version (http://mitglied.lycos.de/malte2709/Old%20Threehorns/Old%20Threehorns%20cover%20GOF.jpg) of that story's cover.

Thanks for the hints, Malte. ;)
I would really like to put some story elements to the cover but I hadn't got an idea. :unsure:
But it's there now so I'll stay with it. :D
Btw. nice pics you got there. ;)

Finally finished the first page. :lol:

Please tell me if the spellings/grammer are wrong so I can correct them.  ;)

As Ratiasu stated, "Beyound" is "Beyond". And, is that one page all there is now?
Title: A New Tale Begins...
Post by: Sky on October 10, 2007, 01:04:12 AM
Yep.
I'll edit it if I got the time.

Post by: Nimrod on October 10, 2007, 03:37:57 AM
that¥s cool. But how is it to read? From the left to the right, from up to down?^^ I have no idea. Never read something like that before. :D
Title: A New Tale Begins...
Post by: Malte279 on October 10, 2007, 05:28:01 AM
I love it :yes
An interesting beginning to start so much from a character's personal point of view rather than some camera perspective. Did you take inspiration from another comic, book, or movie? I think I have seen something remotely similar somewhere, but I can't pinpoint it. In any case I'm looking forward to see the story continue and unfold :)

@Page 01
Edited the "Beyond" error. =)

@Nimrod
It's from left to right and up to down. Like a normal comic.
But you can read the words in the 2nd panel in any order you want. ;)

@Malte
Glad you like it. =)
I got the scene from a game. It is called "Kingdom Hearts" where the main character
 "falls" like Sky here in the beginning. (don't expect a KH-like story line xD)
But I know I saw a movie with a scene like that. But I can't remember.  :unsure:

Sorry for the late post. =/

There aren't many LBT webcomics (that's what I'm calling this. anyway) that I am aware of (DarkHououmon's is the only other one I am aware of). I like the idea! However, you're style and decision to make this a webcomic are making this story progress slowly, so it's too early for me to make an accurate "review" on it. However, the artistry is good, as always. B)

Absolutely :yes
Looking at the last two pictures it seems like Sky is in for an involuntary and painful participation in one of the Gang's fir cone games ;)
I'm looking forward to the next page to see if that guess is right.

Thank you.  :)

I'm still sorry for being slow.  -_-

You can't rush a good story! Just work on it when you can..that's all we ask! :D

You can't rush good art, either. :yes

Hey this is really good! :) I like the really vivid colours you use. The first page kinda reminded me of a Kingdom Hearts styled intro (where Sora/Roxas decend through darkness head first). Keep us posted on your updates Sky, but as said before, great art cannot be rushed ;)

Very nice, I love it. Keep up your good work. :yes

Hahaha, keep it up. I want to see all of this!

Post by: Sky on October 24, 2007, 08:55:28 AM
Just wanted to say that I'm still working at this.
But it's only a chapter page.

Chapter 01 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/A-New-Tale-Chapter-01-68105863)

As you can see, I have drawn the background too.
It fits to the characters more than the previous pages.
And it makes more fun.

Looks good so far.  What species or type is the main character suppose to be?

Also what sort of software do you use to draw, or get it into digital format and hardware?  Just curious.

Nice done :D  Looking forward to it. :yes
