Page description:
Pinky gives her crew a bit of a telling off, they give HER a bit of a telling off in return, and then she tells them to try the radio. While Betty and Dave are busy, Pinky lets on to Collin a little something about her background... And then ALL of a sudden Betty and Dave are out of the tank again because they can't even work the radio. So Pinky climbs in to have a go, followed by Betty, on the way in she tears her pants open on the gun breech or something...
Commentary:
I really did forget how to colour here. I had to keep on redoing it until I was semi happy with it. And even then I simplified it in a lot of places. Ironically this was going to be a very simple page of talking heads but... I suppose I'm just not very good at this sort of thing or it wouldn't take so long. I'm very sorry for the delay. And for anyone who's confused- Betty is a woman, she's just one of those really big tough gals who can smash coconuts with their bare hands.
Extra:
HPK's Shoomfy has a cameo in here, see if you can find it! Learn about Shoomfy here.
Oh yeah, I did a really naughty fan art pic for Tea Green's really naughty and really funny comic LOVEMAGIC a while ago. Click on the name and look through the pages to find it, but be WARNED, it is NOT for young eyes, safe for work, virgins, priests or unmarried people bellow the age or 25! Ha! Well, maybe not that bad, but be warned ok?
Aw man, poor Pinky! She's just been getting stressful blow after the next! I really like the differences in body types of the characters. It's really cool, and really refreshing to see!
Polar magnet - Hey thanks ^^
Betty would destroy Pinky in a test of strength: Smash her like a melon and then eat her!
Kyupol - Thanks Kyupol, good advice on the weird word panels! You may be right about the story panels on a huge page, but generally I personally get a bit put of by those as a reader... It'd be a lot easier for me to draw and write though!
Glass Ink - Thanks man. ^_^
You know that took me about a year to get around and do, and then another year to show up on D4K! XD
Kam - TY ^^
Hawk - Heya Hawk! Hahaha, thanks man, that's quite a compliment!
Cleverly done too . ^-^
Eunice - Yes indeeeeeeeeeed!
Hypermouse - Thanks Mousy! Ya, that sun glare make me feel better about my colours too. ;)
Crazy Duck - TY ^^
Slimredninja - Thanks so much Slim red man! ^^
Hero - That's it exactly! ...in that hot, close tank... eww.
Sarah - Ewwww, now that's making me feel it even more! ^_^
You lucky thing you! It's boiling hot here right now... even in the middle of the night :(
Spaz - Yep Bobby, that's sort of the place ^^
Radmetalmonk - Hahaha, Ya, I like "Tosser"!
Mark - Now that's a hilarious image ^_^
Aurora - You have a pretty accurate feeling there Aurora ^^
With how hot that desert looks, I can practically FEEL what it would be like to enter the tank. Icky hot. Actually, that would feel good right now...it's freezing over here. XD
Nothing like desert environment mixed with machinery. Well come to think of it, any environment mixed with machinery is rad. Tosser is always a top notch insult.
hmmm...that is very interesting tidbit of info on Pinky's background. Who da thunk it? I wonder if her parents are proper stuck up gentry....I bet her father smokes a pipe and wears a monocle....
I inked and colored your first panel for you if you need a head start. JERKFACE.
(you're not a jerk). Sorry to hear about your swatches. They're tricky things
Aurora - Ha, yeah! I like drawing her plaits, and without the big hair that she normally has, she's way easier to draw!
Mad-mazza! - Hahaha, ya, I saw shmoofs in your page! He's a cute little fella. Thanks so much Maz ^^
Joff - Thanks Joff, hopefully it won't take me too long!
Magical - Thanks a lot man!
Carrol - Thanks so much, hopefully the coloured version will look good too!
Nick - TY Nick! ^^
Tantz - Thankyew^^ Yeah... I'm crap at simplicity... I... I was even going to make this page all just talking heads! But this way seemed to advance the story more.
Glass - Thanks Glass. :)
Darwin - Thanks Darwin, yeah, I really like to play with the prespective. Ah, I hope I havn't missed any of your pages!
Simon - Ah, there is no pencil process, that the secret. ;)
It's all tablet work, start to finish. You'd probably call this an "ink" stage... I do about two rough sketchy layers in grey, and then a final clean grey layer; that's this one.
Sarah - Ah, it only looks like a sketch ;)
In reality I'm as messy as everyone else! Hey you got first comment!
Shmoofy! I did a shmoofy cameo in my page too! I really like Pinky's Stance in the second panel-- so much attitude! The lineart looks especially good here, even more so than usual. Sweet job, ozone!
I really like the fourth panel. So expressive, just as it is. I also have a suspicion you are a sucker for punishment. The pages are not getting any simpler, and you are still doggedly going on adding angles and such. I really like that, and am thoroughly enjoying the entire comic. Well done, and don't beat yourself up over delays. The line art rocks!
