Leafychan’s first request

Diwa — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:48:54 +0000

In continuation of the winners from my recent raffle on my tumblr. Here is leafychan’s first request.

I really wanted a sweet, cuddly pic of Sebastian and F!Hawke (close to default for sanity sake, except with a softer,sweeter, less angular face than defult). Mage if it matters.

I decided to make it more intimate and sweeter. I hope this will do.

Tips on Layout and Paneling of a Comic Page

Diwa — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:19:48 +0000

There are three main points on layouting a comic page:

1. Composition: Composition changes the structure of panels to create variations and the dynamics in a page.
2. Flow: Flow is to be able to convey ideas through multiple panels and images. This illustrates progression in a reader’s mind
3. Readability: This wraps it all together by making sure the story gets across.

The image above demonstrates basically the overall points on how to achieve the layout. Even without words, you can easily see that the character notices the knife and picked it up at the end.

Remember that in a comic page, there’s only so much text that you can put in. The more text you put the heavier the page becomes; the heavier it is, the more cluttered it will feel and will strain the eyes (Points to readability).

Of course, this is just one example and there are a lot of different ways on how to layout a page, but main point is that you need a path for the eyes to follow. Pay attention on where your line begins and where it ends. This will help create the pacing and transition on each panel or to another page.

My recent raffle in tumblr

Diwa — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:12:16 +0000

So, I recently posted a raffle on my tumblr account and did a live stream of the draw. (Here’s a recorded version)

draggy-s was the first one to respond on what request she wanted. I hope this is, as I quote “kingly and dapper and all sorts of hot” for her. I changed Alistair’s clothes/armor into something more fashionable and what I think is kingly and kept some of the essential details from Cailan’s armor in dragon age: origin. As for Sebastian, I changed his inner jack into a robe and keeping the hood. I also changed the chest armor into a piece that will not be a hindrance for the robe while keeping the chain-mail and, of course, the belt with Andraste’s face.

Regarding their look, I think Alistair couldn’t possibly give a -uhm- how do you say melting kind of stare? He’s too kind and innocent but he’d give you those puppy eyes kind of look. Sebastian, I think, has the ability to use his charms… knowing that he’s been whoring at the age of 13, correct?

In any case, I had fun with this request. I love these two and got me excited to draw it. I said I was going to sleep before doing it but I end up drawing anyway.
