Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Sky on January 07, 2008, 11:50:24 AM
I decided to start my comic all over as I wasn't satisfied about the old storyboard.
It's a shame I only posted 3 pages of it. -_-

All I have now is the cover:
Forgotten Friends - Comic Cover (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Comiccover-74031134)

As you can see, on the right is a new character I haven't introduced. All I can say is his name: Glide (please don't get mad at me Ptyra as you're using the same name in your fanfic :o). I don't want to reveal too much for now. ^_^

Alright. The eleven pages are up. Enjoy.   :^.^:

The cover page looks interesting as do the characters.  Im sure many characters use the same names.  Somewhere out in the LBT world there are likely folks called Littlefoot, Cera, and so on.  Even if the gang never hears about them.

It's looking like the beginning of an awesome comic, Sky.  :)
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Manny Cav on January 07, 2008, 12:31:00 PM
I've noticed this before, and I want to know if there's a particular reason that Littlefoot's face seems too flat, like it's pug-like whenever you draw him.

Hello:
 I'm glad you are making a new story, and with many new characters too, that's great. The new character Glide, reminds me a bit of Shadow the Hedgehog (which is awesome because Shadow rules).
 Keep it up!

Remember to keep us posted on updates, if you wish.

Glide's a common name, it's okay  :P:

Again, you impress me with excellent artwork. Good work, Sky. :yes

A good looking cover. I can't to see what will happen.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Sky on January 08, 2008, 10:12:34 AM
Thanks. =)
As for the comic, I only finished 2 pages. I take longer to color them than just outlining them. Hmm...

@Manny Cav
That's a little problem of mine. ^_^?
I'm trying to draw them more real LBT like but I just keep getting this result. Guess I created only a LBT likley style. Hmm...
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Manny Cav on January 08, 2008, 12:07:07 PM
Your own style is just fine. :) Everyone does it a little different, which is alright. I mean, it's one thing to completely draw them out of proportion or whatever, but your style is your style. Of course, we can all improve on little things like that. :P:
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Kor on January 08, 2008, 03:21:03 PM
Your style is your style, though one can always seek to improve.  I guess color takes longer since you want to get everything right with the color, shading, ect.

Hello:
 I cannot wait either, I look forward to begin reading your comic, and don't worry if the characters are not like onscreen, it is your style, and if you are happy then it is awesome, besides you can draw very well, much more than the drawing I can do :lol: .
 Keep it up!

Post by: Kor on January 08, 2008, 07:27:32 PM
I'm sure many look forward to your comic continuing.

Hello:
 Awesome, I'm always glad to see updates. And don't complain too much about your backgrounds, they do look great to me, and about the story, well I cannot tell too much, just the foreshadowing I always enjoy to see ;)
 Kwwp it up!, you are doing great!
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Malte279 on January 13, 2008, 02:01:59 PM
Awesome work Sky! You know, I would love to say something more useful about your work, but you leave hardly anything that could possibly be improved. Mere praise is of so little worth to an artist when compared to constructive criticism. However I could hardly think of anything that could be improved.
Did you think of anything in particular when you picked stars for a background motive behind the panels? You once mentioned that you finish the drawings and then scan and color them. Could you show us the uncolored original drawings? I would be really interested to see what they look like before they are edited at the computer. You know Sky, your work is really encouraging me to try creating an LBT comic myself.

Post by: landbeforetimelover on January 13, 2008, 10:16:43 PM
Wow.  That comic is truly amazing.  However, to make a long story, it'll probably take you years seeing as you're the only one who can produce the pages.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Kor on January 14, 2008, 01:16:21 AM
Every page done is one closer to the end.  And also provides and easy way to practice drawing on a regular bases.

No problem. Here's the pencil work of page 02:

Today I update the comic with 3 new pages:

Page 07 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-07-76352412)
Page 08 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-08-76352889)

Page 08 may not be very LBT-like but I think it's ok.  :unsure:

Enjoy.  :^.^:

Thanks for the comic.  It's well drawn and choosing a cliffhanger for a stopping place is always interesting.

I still wanna see Ducky appear! (Is it because she's the hardest to draw that she hasn't been seen yet?)

EDIT: Wow, that sounded whinier and more impatient than I'd expected it too.

Post by: Sky on March 02, 2008, 10:53:52 AM
OK. So it's been a long time since I updated the comic.

Page 09 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-09-78898130)
Page 10 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-10-78898843)
Page 11 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-11-78900024)

The dialogs are kinda cheesy.  :slap
I decided to post every single page. Not 3 pages at once.
So you guys don't have to wait that long.  ;)

Great work as always Sky! :yes
One thing I realized was that Littlefoot, Ruby, and Petrie might wonder about why Sky didn't eat anything for days when he is sleeping in the Great Valley (a place not known for scarcity of food). Did Sky just enter the Great Valley without being aware of it (like Guido)?

@Malte
Sky was unconscious after he fell in page 03. So it's something like that what you said. :) Though, he hasn't eaten for about 2-3 days while he was searching for his friends.

Sky is not a character from the movies but a character made up by Sky (our fellow member and artist).

I'm kinda having problems with speechbubbles... =/
What kind of problems?
Maybe you can try drawing a comic without speechbubbles? You know the comics of "Prinz Eisenherz" (English "Prince Valiant")? They are doing fine without speechbubbles, but this is of course just a suggestion and I don't know how well the design of Prinz Eisenherz comics could be transferred to your LBT comic.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Kor on March 09, 2008, 02:25:55 PM
What sort of problems do you see yourself having with speech balloons?

I enjoyed reading the page.  Normal folks would likely react differently to Chomper then those use to him.  The gang could have forgotten that others may react to Chomper differently then them since they are use to him.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: The Chronicler on March 09, 2008, 06:46:24 PM
I'm guessing the problem you're having with the speech bubbles is that you can't fit in all the words into one bubble, so you have to make more in order to put in all the words. Am I correct on this? Anyway, good work as always.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Sky on March 10, 2008, 01:52:06 AM
@The Chronicler
That's right. Though, I write the dialogs first before I draw. But still...
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Kor on March 10, 2008, 02:29:19 AM
The only other option I can think of is either continue with the word balloons like usual, or do it in more of the Prince Valiant fashion (and Flash Gordon did it for a while too) where the text is at the bottom under the picture.

Post by: Kor on April 01, 2008, 04:16:33 PM
Nice page, and an understandable reaction from someone living in that world (I'll not say what since folks will then have to read the page to see).  I liked the expressions on the character's faces.  You could see the emotions on their faces.  

Nice avatar, especially like the added in glasses and pencil behind one ear.


For those new members who may not have read your comic from the start, is there a page that has the pages linked?
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Malte279 on April 01, 2008, 06:35:14 PM
Thank you for the page Sky!
You sure have a more proper way of apologizing for an April fools prank that didn't cause as much distress as ours did :(
I'm really looking forward to see how the story goes on :)
I have a few critical comments too, and I'm almost certain you will respond to them by claiming to be lazier than you prove yourself to be all the time by creating this comic ;)
What I mean is the missing of any of the other characters (save Littlefoot and Cera) on this page. Cera of all characters might be particularly understanding for Sky's concerns about Chomper. Maybe there could have been a few more attempts to convince Sky of Chomper's good nature as Sky didn't just cut and run (as some others might have).
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Kor on April 01, 2008, 08:18:00 PM
We've not seen the next page.  Littlefoot may run up to catch up to him and talk to him.  Cera likely would not run after him to try to talk to him.  She'd figure, his loss if he doesn't want to get to know Chomper.
Title: Forgotten Friends - LBT Comic
Post by: Sky on April 02, 2008, 08:37:17 AM
Ah yes. I am lazy. ^^
But this page was more "rushed" D=
I just started this page 2 days ago as april fools day is coming closer. I wanted to put this page up as a little excuse for the prank. o.O

And the next page will
[size0](hopefully) explain why Sky just went off.  :^.^:

Hello:
 I agree with Nimrod, Sky's face expression is awesome and really shows that he has some background story, I look forward to see more :DD .
