Page description:
The colonel finishes his little speech to the young tank troops and makes an exit. The tanks set off on their training mission, grinding off into the desert in single file. They all know where they should be going and what they should be doing, apart from Pinky's little group� She was hoping simply tag along, following the rest, her crew are even worse�
Commentary:
DONE! I actually finished colouring the other day, but I was holding off on putting the text in. I've got a whole huge story written and it's so awful to dive in, rip little bits out, and trim them down until they fit in a comic page� Yuck!
AHHH! You're still drawing!
For some reason, in myhead, I thought you weren't gonna draw anymore after those flash videos. Now I have to re-add you to my favorites so I can get in and up-to-date on the action. Sorry for being so late.
This page rocks my world. There really haven't been that many downright funny and simple humor pages in Pinky, and I'm glad to be seeing this one. Hee hee! "Pinks!" It's brilliant.
Hahaha!! Love the dialogue.
Now that I saw this page go up piece by piece it all seems so understandable.. I can see how everything you did fit together to make this.. It's like there's no mystery anymore!!
Lothar- Where do you think they've just gotten back from?!!
Whirly- Hahaha well, it's done now! I hate headaches...
sage- Thanks sage
Kingsnaky- I to love all those tanky things! I must watch Indiana Jone 3 again some time, it's been years since I saw that one...
King ZAC!- Oh man, I'm going to check all your comics this very day!
Darkmax- Thanks Darkman ^^
Sub- Ahhh, don't say that, it makes me think it's all too hard XD
Sarah- Yup, Gradients first! Then backgrounds, Figures and detail last of all... Oh, highlights go over the top of that.
Ham- Hahahaha! Yeah, that'll be the deal if I ever do a publishing deal or something... If the story was interesting enough. (which I have doubts about).
The beatnik? WHat? I could dress up like that I suppose, I do have a black beret and black turtleneck...
Green Tan!- That's the trouble... If she didn't have boredom issues to start with, she'd know what she was doing! ^^
Tuck- Ahoy Tuck! You have returned! It's been a while you mad surealist you ^^
Jenshinshininjen- Gradients are a super shortcut! They're like broad colour washes in watercolour... They just establish the light and background perfectly, all in on go!
Aurora- That is EXACTLY it! ^_____^
Hero- Thanks Hero ^^
Spazzollio- Thanks Spazz
Mazz-Mazoooo- Hehe, thanks Maz ^^
Coy- Ah, it's not as detailed as all that... Tanks can be a pain though, They're one of those things you have to draw about 10 times before they get easy. I'm not quite there yet unfortunately though :(
PS: dunno if you know but over at nightgig subcultured compared you to the beatnik :D I think madscott sent you out a digi cam and outfit for some photoshoots :D
I guess thats a tip for all of us. Block in the backgroundcolor first before coloring the characters! Anyway it's looking like it'll be awesome again! Take your time ozone,a nd oicne again get this comic on sale! And when you do, please have signed copies available :D..come to think it of it, why not have a grand contest with as a prize one of your prints on poster and signed? ..cough..goes back to bed..has 140 degrees...tuuuut
let me guess what happened here:
Pinky was daydreaming or whatnot, not really listening.. and the captain sends out an order to move out to go somewhere, and then before she knows it, she's left behind! and then she's like "oh shit!" and hops down into her tank to move out, hopefully to catch up.
Thanks Simon! Ah, it just looks like pencil, that's all tablet work in grey. All my finished lines are grey because they blend better with the colour (when set to multiply).
