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. :)
-
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.
-
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...
-
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:
-
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.
-
Oh, boy! This is gonna be so interesting! I can't wait! :D
-
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!
-
I'm sure many look forward to your comic continuing.
-
Alright. The first five pages are up. Enjoy. :^.^:

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!
-
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.
-
Woow, Sky, I love your artwork. The comic is very great and I can¥t wait to see more. :)
-
Nice comic. The story and artwork are interesting.
-
wow! awesome comic
-
I've seen the five first pages and I am impressed! Looks as if Sky is already having one big adventure!
-
Excellent work, I'm really enjoying this comic already, keep up the good work. :yes
-
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.
-
Every page done is one closer to the end. And also provides and easy way to practice drawing on a regular bases.
-
I'm also looking towards that tutorial you mentioned on DA....
-
Glad you guys liked it. :D
@Malte
Did you think of anything in particular when you picked stars for a background motive behind the panels?
Nope. I just thought it looked good.
Could you show us the uncolored original drawings?
No problem. Here's the pencil work of page 02:

You know Sky, your work is really encouraging me to try creating an LBT comic myself.
Really? Wow. Well, good luck then. :)
@LBTlover
Yeah, it might take awhile to complete this comic.
@The Great Valley Guardian
Ah, the tutorial. Actually I already finished one. I'll upload it today. :^.^:
-
Hello:
Wow, that is indeed good, thanks for showing us your works and keep it up!
-
:wow -UPDATE- :wow
Today I update the comic with 3 new pages:
Page 06 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-06-76351954)
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.
-
Hello:
That's awesome, a great work as always and it is always nice to see updates... and foreshadowings :wow .
Keep it up!
-
This comic is awesome! I can't wait to see more of what happens to Sky!
-
Great work, these three pages look great. I can't wait to see more.
-
Looks like it is a very popular comic indeed.
-
Thanks for the feedback, guys. :^.^:
I'm sorry it took so long. Had the last two weeks many tests and exams. :x
But I'm glad it's over ... for now, so I can focus on my comic. =)
-
Do you have a series planned once this story is over?
-
you know Sky, it is always a pleasure for me to see your comics. :)
-
Do you have a series planned once this story is over?
Well, I was hoping to make a trilogy if I keep this up.
@Nimrod
Your welcome. ^_^
-
Good, that gives us stories to look forward to, and quite a few more pages for quite a while to come.
-
Wow this is really nice.. I wish I could do such things hehe ^^
-
PERFECT!
-
Wow, great comic!
Cera and Ducky are going to appear eventually, right?
-
I assume they will at the proper point. It gives you something to look forward to, among other things to look forward to.
-
Lovely work! I hope to see more. ^^
-
Cera and Ducky are going to appear eventually, right?
Of course.
What's a Land Before Time without the gang? :lol:
@WeisseEdelweiss
Thank you. I hope to see more art from you too. ;)
-
I'm sure may are awaiting more art from both of you and the other artists here.
-
Hello:
You cannot be more correct Kor, you are all doing such a magnificent work. Keep it up! :DD
-
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.
-

Maybe, I'm not really sure.
But I think I'm getting the hang of it drawing her. =D
EDIT: Wow, that sounded whinier and more impatient than I'd expected it too.
It's ok. ^_^
-
This is going to be a great comic. I do comics, and trust me, this is the beginning of a great one! :wow
-
Maybe Sky can share tips.
-
OK. So it's been a long time since I updated the comic.

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. ;)
-
Good artwork, and I enjoyed reading those pages. Thanks for sharing the link here so we all can enjoy them. :yes
-
Good work, keep it up. :yes
-
Those pages were great! I really can't wait to see more of this comic!
-
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)?
-
great job! keep going! :yes
-
Thanks guys.
@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.
-
Just awesome Sky, go on with your work. :)
-
Hello:
This look at good as always... if not better due to some progress in the story :wow .
Keep it up! I look forward to read more :yes .
-
:huh: it looks good, but who is that sky?
-
Hmm? Don't know what you mean. :unsure:
-UPDATE-
Page 12 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-12-79531087)
I'm kinda having problems with speechbubbles... =/
-
Looks like Sky has yet to get used to the idea of hanging out with a sharptooth ;)
it looks good, but who is that sky?
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@The Chronicler
That's right. Though, I write the dialogs first before I draw. But still...
-
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.
-
@sky well, i'm ask who sky is, someone of your imagination?
-
@kjeldo
Yep, you could say that. =)
-
And one drawn well.
-
Updating with Page 13 (http://hakunaro.deviantart.com/art/Forgotten-Friends-Page-13-81619118)
Enjoy. :^.^:
-
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?
-
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).
-
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.
-
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. :^.^:
-
The expression of Sky is amazing. You are very good and I enjoyed it to read the page. :)
-
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 .
