A Fallout3 comic

^ The artwork was much better in that one too.

Yeah, by page 6 I think it was, I discovered I could use Microsoft Office picture manager to manipulate the blacks and whites. It looks so much better with the blacks really black. But that's all the manipulation I do with the contrasts, the drawing itself gets better on it's own, just by doing it over and over.

Tonight's Pages!

The artwork really blew me away! Really really good. I am a bit concerned of your mention of "PA lesbians" though. :/
 
Art is definitely improving. But there certainly is something rather amusing about the way you draw butts.
 
Everytime I see any kind of advertisement that says "A Taste of Things to Come" - I can't help but think of the joke from GTA: San Andreas (where a car knocks out 'Things to').
 
Looks good. You mentioned before it takes you a long time to do this. How long does it take you to complete one page?
 
Character add looks a bit odd and inconsistent to me, but I like the background and the way the mood is set with black and white a lot. Haven't really started really reading it, so I can't comment on the writing, but keep at it. :)
 
1. 30+ pages into it
2. You keep the audience hanging

Those are your strongest points. (I don't even like FO3, and you've got me interested)

Tighten up you art and you'll go far. I can only imagine great things in your future once that happens. (in colour no less)

Looking forward to the rest of it.
 
If you dont have a wacom pad, you should think about getting one.

Scan your art and clean up/shade with corel etc. it will save you time etc.

[Opportunistic] I want to sell a lightly used Intuos 4 medium, as it would happen . . . A bit too small for my liking (visually impaired, I use large monitors).

Tickaticka!

Moar!

Lol, Thanks! I hoped "tickatickaticka" sounded like a rad-roach!

Thanks,I'm glad you like the artwork! Why does the mention of "PA" lesbians concern you though? (For the record, another poster said that. I was merely responding. And I said if they were going to be lesbians, they would have to grow up.)

Lol, for sure! Yeah, I didn't mean for her butt to be so prominent in that one panel, but hey, I'm still learning and improving! Thanks for the comments.

I didn't play GTA:San Andreas so I'll take your word for it. In the comic,I was going for foreshadowing or whatever. After all, if you played FO3, you know what's to come. Thanks for reading and commenting.

It depends. Anywhere from 1 week if I'm really manic to 2 months if there's other stuff going on in life. On average I'd say 2 weeks to fully complete one page, thumbnail to last cross hatch. :)

I need more of this. You should do a New Vegas one!

Lol, thanks TorontRayne! It's nice to hear someone likes what I'm doing and wants more of it. It will take me awhile to finish this FO3 story so I don't know if I'll get to NV or not.

Excellent!
Keep it coming

Thanks friend! 30 pages in all,more after that as fast as I can make them!

Maybe this is a typo but I don't know what you mean by "character add". I agree my drawing isn't consistent, especially in these early pages. This might be more information than you wanted but I found that the more I drew the characters, the more I figured out their personalities, the more consistent the drawing got. Try reading it, I'd love for more feedback!

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm always looking to improve my comics, whether it's the drawing or writing or whatever so I really appreciate the feedback. Curious, have you read all 30 pages on DA?

And you've already surpassed Fallout 3's writing.

Excellent.

That's a really flattering compliment, thank you.

It's interesting you say that, 'cause I just bought a Bamboo fun tablet. It's a daunting prospect for me to use this technology, I'm so used to the old school way but if it saves time and my aching back, I 'm all about it! Would it be all right if I pm'd you at some point if I needed some help? You seem to know how to use the tablet and I know I'm gonna get stuck.

Sorry friend, I just bought a Bamboo Fun. But maybe in the future, if you still have it?And/or I need it?



Now the comics!

Looks really nice. I can only imagine how long it took you to make all these 30 pages... Quite dedicated, I must say (not that it's a bad thing) ;)

Sorry, that was a typo I meant character art... dunno how that slipped :P And I didn't mean that I wasn't interested in reading it, I just didn't really had the time to give anything more than a quick look. I'm slowly catching up, and so far I don't really have much to comment about the writing, you seem to have a decent understanding of the pacing and don't bog it down by repeating Fallout 3's beginning scene by scene and a couple of lines are cool, but I haven't read too far so, again, I don't have much to say. Will definitely try to keep following and give feedback tho'. Keep up the good work!

Ahh! I see what you did there! You're very clever with the computer, I may need your advice when I get going with the Bamboo. Would you be ok with a novice asking many stupid questions?

Congrats on the 200$!

It takes along time, but I keep tying to get faster. Thanks for reading!

I appreciate your taking the time to read it and am always looking for feedback, especially from fans of the game. :)

Sure. I'm not quite certain what help I can offer, but I wouldn't mind.
