It's not a good conversation starter to insult the person you're trying to talk to, Anon.
If you wanted it done to your specifications, you could have done it yourself in the 12 hours between the death of the last thread and this one.
>>83179323
Shut up, idiot. It's bad form to not have /hyw/ in the thread title.
>>83178770
>girl
>>83178729
Maybe change the font? That's kind of hard to read.
>>83179338
Nah.
>>83179338
>bad form
hmm...
>>83179439
Virtually every /hyw/ has had /hyw/ in the thread title. There are people who search catalog and archives specifically for "/hyw/." You are doing them a disservice by not putting /hyw/ in the thread title.
unstable improvement/regression pic.
update on current wip from last thread is on lower right
So, someone way back in the day posted a bit of advice about how a piece of spaghetti could substitute for a nib in a tablet stylus. If you're still around, thanks, that's just saved me a bunch of money.
>>83163090
Much as I hate it because I've already spent a lot of time on that panel, you've got a point.
I can't really add more panels because I don't want the strip getting too tall, but I'll try to figure something out.
As for how long I spend on these, I generally spend between 8 and 20 hours per page once I've sketched it (you'd think the strips would be significantly faster than the full pages, but I haven't found that to be the case). I actually time stamp all my wips that I post.
>>83180074
I give it >>>/u/ out of 10.
>>83180020
Makes sense, I guess. I just ctrl-f "how's".
I'll keep that in mind when making threads in the future.
>>83180082
While I know what you were going for with the visual effect, itl looks like she's crying blood, or alternatively shooting lasers very awkwardly out of her eyes.
>>83180116
pls no senpai
I want to stay
>>83180158
Yeah, like I said I'm looking for alternate solutions to that panel.
>>83180255
Have the black chick's face in the panel parallel to the blonde's, looking downwards and equally shocked. You're trying to put too much into only a half-panel and it doesn't really need that much detail to convey, anyway.
>>83180335
That probably will be the solution, but I feel like I should try out some other stuff as well, first. (that was actually my first idea, and there's probably a degree of wounded pride involved in my resistance towards going back to it. Gonna just have to force myself through it, I guess.)
>>83180481
Having her state that skeggy is wearing pants ruins the joke.
>>83180074
>unstable improvement/regression
Where would you improve towards, exactly?
Every one of these look like they're doing exactly what they're intended to.
quick /hyw/! post a pic of one of your character s along with a cool quote they say!
>>83180564
Yeah, I'm not going back to that. Just the half-panel.
Posted in wrong thread:
>>83174977
>>83180774
Rather than expecting people to go to a different thread to see what you're on about, you could just change one pixel in the image and post it here.
You're far more likely to get replies like that.
>>83180082
>I can't really add more panels because I don't want the strip getting too tall, but I'll try to figure something out.
I see, I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful. The only fix I can think of is to narrow the panels a bit, leave the reaction shots focusing on the eyes only... I don't really know if this lazy solution works, but it's the best I can come up with while I procrastinate to draw my own already behind schedule webcomic.
>>83180847
That's not a bad solution either. Thanks!
Now get back to your work, I'm already procrastinating enough for the both of us.
>>83180774
>>83180842
Good thinking.
Hey /co/, I want some critique on this WIP of a Witch character I am currently creating. I would appreciate some character design feedback.
>>83180566
are you trolling me? I cant tell. Is this the American sarcasm? Pardon.
I just want my shit to stop looking dA-tier so when I eventually flood people with my gay girls on an actual webcomic site, I'll have a visual vantage point. I want to be able to keep up with art skills of other asians in asian sites. 1st is ayy lmao. I had good looks on 2nd and 3rd, but had chickenscratches. Shat on myself 4th and especially 5th. <- V. Bad quality. Utterly disgusting. 6th is my current hope.
If there's a better word for it, better presentation, I think. Cleaness too. Things have to pop up more to grab more readers. I'm working on making my drawings distinguishable from other people's work. It has to stand out and be very likeable. Pic not related.
>>83180481
Hey, this is what I meant in the last comment.
I think the "laser eyes" don't work in the style of your comic. But I think the version on the right would be the easiest way to put emphasis on her looking at the pants.
I like Left best, which is more similar to your old concept
But I get not wanting to change an entire panel after you've spent so long on the page already
>>83179338
very few threads have done so. i don't like it. abbreviations don't belong in thread titles
>>83178770
this.
>you will never get LICKY while VIDEOGAAAMES
>>83180020
>Virtually every /hyw/ has had /hyw/ in the thread title.
nope
i havent been paying the best attentch but i know for a fact we werent doing it 30 threads ago or prior.
>>83180774
The blue robe is really boring to look at because there's not enough difference between light and dark. Add some highlights or make the dark parts nearly black.
Put the belt up higher. Right now it's below crotch level, I'd suggest taking it up to the height of the top of her wrist bands at least. It would also be a good idea to have it stand out more from the robe by changing the color..
The hat doesn't feel centered on her head.
>>83181128
No sarcasm, I honestly don't see the flaws you're talking about.
>>83181422
We must have very big differences in standards.
>>83181481
For comparison, could you show an example of what you're aiming for?
>>83181422
Thanks for the feedback. Crazy how all this slipped past me, it seems so obvious now
>>83180579
o-okay.. a WIP
>>83180847
psst
the dotted eye lines should have the same spacing as the pupils, i.e. the bottom one is further back than the top one
and dark pink is not the best color for them. i suggest white with black underneath for contrast
also i should have said this forever ago but if she was showing more cuff in the last panel it would be clearer. but at this point you've done more than enough reworking
>>83181076
just design feedback right? because i'd be happy to give you a little anatomy feedback too.
a fox witch is prty cool. i like her tall narrow-brimmed hat, that's a combo you don't see often, and it suits her perky upswept hairstyle.
are you sure you're not gonna get sick of drawing all that jewelry? i guess you could have her get robbed if you do
the purple inner lining of the robe makes its outer layer look a little too dull by comparison, i'd give her belt its own color to separate it out. maybe the same color as her choker. that'd break it up nicely.

^ More on Weibo. I'll get raped the moment I step there. The places I only passed EZ PZ are philippins and thailand. I have to watch out for Ratana Satis though. Buyong is EZ PZ. I have no pics of them with me, sorry. But you know what I'm talking about right? Insane people.
>>83181718
Sure you can give me anatomy or any other feedback you want. I appreciate what you have given me so far, thanks!
I don't mind drawing the jewelry I'm going to put a lot of love into this comic as soon as I get the character design done.
So I keep getting these complains about how I need to be more sex positive even if I keep adding more and more rape. I don't get it.
>>83181128
I don't understand. Your art is already peak anime, but is that not your goal? You gotta help us out here, what do you want more of in your art: abstraction? Realism? Detail? Technical finish? Dynamic perspectives? Halftones?
>>83181805
Add even more rape
>>83181787
here check this out
first as that other anon mentioned, waist is way too low. gotta think about that ribcage.
secondly, the elbows should go down to the ribcage, no lower. you've made a common mistake of the bent arm being longer than the unbent.
but even without the need for the legs to be longer, their shape is a little inconsistent and off. don't copy these redlines exactly because you've gotta put her waist higher and then think of the knee, but basically just don't fall into the trap so many furry artists do of trying to start with a human leg and add. you've gotta start with a fox leg and then make changes, or it won't look balanced or bend properly.
>>83181805
don't listen to anyone who uses buzzwords. not that they're automatically wrong, but they automatically have no perspective.
>>83181720
I'm no connoisseur of manga-style stuff and I don't read a single word of Chinese (assuming that's Chinese), but putting those characters into Google Images or what looked like Weibo's search bar, or googling the name Ratana Satis didn't show me any art that looked notably better on a technical level than what you've showed us here.
>>83181971
Oh man those arms were giving so much trouble and I didn't know why. I am new to drawing digitigrade legs as well. I didn't know they go out that far. Thanks a lot man, will you around in this thread? I will follow up on your critique but I have some other stuff to do today first.
>>83181821 I'm confused. Are you also >>83180566 ?
If you can't see how I regress in some comics then AYY lmao. Good job baiting me senpai. My shit are lifeless especially 4th. 5th look like shit. I'm trying to avoid that with 6th. Getting real tired typing this again and again.
So far, I'm not really having much problem. Not like last time where I'm panicking about tones and thickness here. As of now, I'm just working on tweaking my drawings to look distinguishable from other's work and be drawings that are very likeable to people. <-- that sentence is v. important to what I'm working on, but wasn't really in that improv/regres pic.
So far, I'm just that guy with overly designed lesbian hairstyles. I'm looking at women's fashion and accessories (so my girls will be /fa/) and will also be doing tests on tweaking anatomy for stylization even if I have to sacrifice what little anatomy skill I have left. I'm working on distinguishability. That improv/regres pic only shows how I fucked up from trying to change my lines and tones.
>>83182192
The gems are hidden inside. The chinese have distinct style. The korean are killers in coloring. The thai are underdogs. The philippins draw on paper and EZ to defeat.
>>83182295
>will you around in this thread?
i will
around
in this thread
for you, anon
and yeah a lot of people try putting the thigh straight down in digitigrade legs, but that just straight up can't work. you'd have your legs way out behind you like a dog's rear end, when what you really want is your knees pointing forward like a cat's rear end. or if you've ever seen a kangaroo standing up.. shit's crazy
I hope the new dialogue doesn't affect the "flow" of the scene too badly
Me and a friend are creating a comic about a freedom fighter and an Angel teaming up to fight against machine Abominations. Story and setting is done and we're just working on designs

keep in mind that that pic isn't something we did. It's just one of the things we drew inspiration from.

>>83182653
Move the apostrophe away from the door and stick it in "won't".
> The door won't budge, Becks!
The door could be higher up; have the top of the door level with the board. You could also have the pupils turned to look at the door in panel 2, rather than continuing to look at the teacher.
New Mimi today. Always exciting when I finish on time.

Well, it's hard to say anything from just these few panels and you might have problems that aren't apparent, but it really seems to me like you're being overly critical of yourself if you think this is significantly objectively better than your work.

Yeah. Is why I said they are underdogs. They're busy with other jobs but suddenly popout in the top ranks one day like mushrooms, unlike in here where you anons still have to build fanbase and twitter and website that can took time since the scene in western is very big. Even smaller of a scene since I'll be hitting only the /u/ part of it.

Perhaps I am, but this is only what I did to get to my current skill. You have no choice, you know. You either get left out or be austistic about your work.

sorry, no time to type it out. I'll post it later if this thread is still up.
Sorry to leave you hanging
>>83183134
You need to get Cintiq or any display tablet if you're planning to compete with the top dogs.
Most of DEM NIPPON digital artists use them. During the 'post your work space' meme you can actually count the normal tablet users in one hand.
>>83183628
it doesnt make them draw any better though
>>83178729
this one is actually really good
sure it has anatomy problems but now your colors are way better
keep it up man, and also i think>>83179372 is right the font is a little bit hard to read
>>83183134
I do understand the obsessive drive to be perfect; I get the same "but this is already fine!" responses myself, now and then. But if you pay too much attention to it, it's likely to blind you to bigger issues while you obsess over things that are already working well enough.
>>83183676
True.
It helps with intensive lineart work. If you have the skill and not a poorfag, go for it.
>>83183676
How would YOU know? Have YOU ever used one???
>>83183859
sure want one
>>83183798
but they cost 5 times what they would have to for me to consider them affordable.
>>83183859
Not that guy, but I have trouble seeing why it would. You don't draw any worse on a non-display tablet than you do on paper.
>>83183859
I use one every day and it's fantastic
>>83183628
My plan isn't to touch the Japanese. That's suicide lol. My plan is to hit on the smaller communities. I'm building a big gallery of /u/ oneshots (No joke, I'll have to get ready no less than 100 pages of /u/ content) that I'll flood on some more minor asian /u/ places. Last thread, I posted about how I came from a country where if you produce something, your people who likes your stuff will get very proud (because muh minority) and it gets spread like wildfire. If I did that there and have advantage (story or art), it'll get passed around to other smaller countries. Like how spanish /u/ comics make it here. Then "leakage" to... ah! Let's just say my plan is kike-ish. I'll do this, because I was able to pull this off before, but not with comics (despite having tons of errors like an anon once said). I flooded a small community with so many things, I was fast in uploading and uploaded by the batch, the wildfire happened, my shit actually went to Chinese places (which intimidated me), then ????????????, it got to bigger places. My stuffs got no less than +50,000 views and I got a monopoly on a certain place until I had to leave. You might think having monopoly on one area will be good especially if you plan to bank on it, let me tell you, it's torture and will be no fun. This time, I'll just do it to gain enough readers/establish. I'm at 20 something pages yet so I'll have plenty time to work on it.
>>83183707
I understand what you mean, but I also want to git gud.
Im off
>>83183628
Having switched from something cintiq-like back to a normal tablet, I can safely say that it's had absolutely no impact on the quality of my art. In fact, I sort of prefer the normal tablet because with the display tablet, my hand would tend to get in the way of seeing what I was drawing.
>>83184192
*50,000 ave per image
How's this for the revised panel?
>>83177993
Not really satisfied with panel 4. Probably should have pulled back more.
>>83185622
maybe turn those lines from gray to white (fading as they go out would be fine) and i think you'll have a winner
>>83185932
Talk about a no-sell, jeez. You'd think she would at least have the decency to stop talking with that leak in her lung.
I think what panel 4 lacks is a twist in the spine. The shoulders and hips are basically parallel.
>>83186616
Wilco.
so i was looking at the main cast of the comic im drawing and if i classify the characters by their ages
>2 of them are 20
>5 of them are around 15-16
>and the last 3 are aruound 13-14
so i was thinking how i can make the last 2 groups look a bit more different on how they look and act
i started looking at cartoon characters that have the same age
and i mean just look at this.Marco Steven, Danny and Morty all have 14 years and all of them look and act extremely different, specially steven, i always tought he was like 10 because he doesn't seem to get a lot of stuff. marco and danny handle things a lot better while morty is spaghetti most of the time
and then there's dipper that guys is 12 but acts like an semi immature adult most of the time
it looks like a lot of people have different approach about how people of this age group look act, so which one would you consider the best for something like my comic that is mainly going to be about adventures in different fantasy settings where there is really not going be any kind of adult character to supervise them most of the time
>>83186955
people just vary. all you can do is make them come off the way you want them to come off
>>83186882
>>83185932
Actually now that I think about it, it might be cool to have the laughter in the last two panels coming out of the wound to reinforce the weirdness.
>>83185932
>Not really satisfied with panel 4
It would help I think if you had "action lines" in the background as opposed to simple screen-tone gradient
>>83181971
>>83182557
Alright man is this close to what you were talking about? I redlined her proportions so you can see better where I'm coming from. It looks very rough, but keep in mind her fur is factored in too and it adds some weight. Can I be presumptuous and ask you to redline for me? As a final note, I wanted her waist to look elongated, I don't want her having perfect human proportions because she is not human. Thanks for your help anonymous.
>>83186882
Yep, that'd do it.
>>83187487
I always forget about action lines as a background element.
>>83187851
well this is better, and I can understand wanting the elongated torso look.. but keep this in mind: right now she can't wipe her own ass. or attend to anything else downstairsy.. so what most people do is give equally elongated arms if they go with a long torso, then they just look like they have gross stubby legs. so really it.. doesn't work having a super long torso. i mean look at it.
![giphy[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/Klmylt7.gif "giphy[1].gif")
>>83188324
I think it can work for an "animal on two legs" look.

you at least want different posture then. and then youll wanna experiment with a BUNCH of postures because you'll wanna make good use of that super long spine you established for body language!

Some sort of drama bleedover from the discord chat. Content still gets feedback, so you can just ignore any shitposts and you'll be fine.
>>83189188
Mostly revolves around a dude who recently stopped using his trip but his posting style is obvious to decipher. He's one of those guys who fights back against all criticism and seemingly doesn't want to get better, to the detriment of the threads.
But the threads are a lot better because since he switched to 100% anonymous posting he stopped posting his art, leading to fewer critiques on him leading to him attacking posters less frequently, leading to better threads!
>>83189281

4chan is not one person
>>83187851
Different anon here.
As it is here, her legs are half her total height, which IS 'human proportions'; giving her an elongated torso and comparatively shorter arms on a human form throws everything out of whack.
>>83188462
If that's what you're aiming for, note that the cats have long bodies and comparatively short arms and legs.
Take a look at Nick from Zootopia - he has an elongated torso (and long arms), but his legs are quite short instead (note also that he has a plantigrade stance).
>>83189596
its scribbs, there's no other need for explanation
he's been a blight on skype as well and here and some other places i'm sure
>>83189672
I like it
>>83189813
Not that I've seen.
At most, people will stop commenting at people that don't seem receptive to criticism, but it's not like people will shit on somebody for being inexperienced.
thing is, these threads are shit but they only exist because the drama keeps them afloat
you take out all the drama posts and this thread would be on page 10 in an hour
i've seen it happen before
>>83188861
Her mouth in panel 1 has always bugged me. I've looked at it a whole hell of a lot and only just now did I realize it's supposed to ber teeth at the top and an wide open mouth with no bottom teeth visible. It just looks weird and I couldn't figure out what was supposed to be going on until literally a second ago. For the longest time I thought she just had a very big bottom lip.

ahhk, you're right.
Actually, I wasn't finished with it, and I wanted to remind myself to get back to it, but I completely forgot.
Thanks, it could have stayed looking weird and I wouldn't even have noticed
>>83190282
>when you shitpost wojack in /hyw/ instead of working on your comic
I decided to just make her torso shorter, and if I want it to seem longer I can make it thinner if I want. It looks better now, thanks a lot /co/
Ok, someone add me on Discord. I'm #1467
A bit more progress on the thing. Just inking it one by one.

>>83190884
Probably a more direct and active way to share and discuss work.
So yeah, another circlejerk.
>>83179372
yeah, people say that all the time, so im always changing the word balloons and font type to see if there right or not and sometimes they are but sometimes its hard to tell if im being trolled or not ya know? but i still try 90% of everything people suggest to me and try and fix everything that gets critiqued negatively ya know?
everyone was aright about using wood balloons though(word balloons painted out as wood instead of white circles or squares), that was a stupid idea
>>83183702
Thanks man
tfw finally getting compliments instead of getting hated on for no reason by an army of dedicated hateful trolls full of autism that try and spam campaign a meme to filter and ignore me

>>83191618
If you can't get your shit together for a pitch at the moment what makes you think you can make a comic?
Get it together son.
Alright, so this clearly isn't finished, but is there anything lacking when it comes to telling what's going on?
It's already late and I'm thinking I should upload it as-is and put up the finished version later.
>>83191601
Sorry to disappoint.
>>83191676
He can't. The most he would've done is make a couple shitty strips and give up when he realizes no one cares. Such is the story of the majority of web comics, even the ones posted here.
>>83191618
If you don't get it together and try, you will legit regret it. You'll always be wondering what if and that's pretty terribad.

Finale update for The Sisters.
This week: Loose ends.
http://thesisters-comic.com/
https://tapastic.com/episode/361290
Next week. Summer time.
259 pages and just over a year to finish our first story arc. Nine issues, pretty decent growth in readers and such over that year.
>>83192603
they always go right for the mouth
cmon it doesnt count if it's a moiderer. you're allowed to kill those.
good job Jam. man, if bea and erin would just TALK more maybe she wouldnt be this freaked out over nothing
Page 11 of Lido done! Any constructive criticisms? I feel like it could be improved but I'm having a hard time seeing exactly where and what.
Ok, so here are some of my first ''for real'' pages.
I made these a while ago and I started to try my best on correcting shit instead of re-drawing everything just so I can practice more using my tablet, so I know that some stuff looks bad regardless of corrections...
Basically is a slice of life comic that is about about stories/fiction/books/comics/movies/urban legnds/etc, about how stories help us grow into the people that we are today, helps us understand the world around us better and all that stuff.
>>83193776
Doing it right?
>>83193801
>>83193826
>>83193847
>>83193870
that's all for now, I'm still working on more pages ( and even this one I'm going to keep working on)
>>83193903
(forgot...)
>>83193671
That's a really nice shading/color work, anon!
>>83193801
oh hey i remember this! so glad it's back.
>>83193821
maybe eyes a bit lower. give him some forehead space
>>83193991
Thank you!
>>83193776
I think the sequence so far is good. Lots of nice detail work.
what does it take to be successful @ webcomics?
>>83194589
Besides the obvious "be/have a halfway decent writer" and "be/have a halfway decent artist?" The will to whore yourself out like your next meal depended on it.
Most webcomics die in obscurity. The "big" ones are advertised all over creation until they no longer have to advertise it.
I have about 2 chapters and the beginning of the 3rd one written as of now.
I'm currently trying to find a nice artstyle that's quick to draw, since making it the same way I make other oneshot pictures would take way too long and make me loose interest.
>>83195205
yeah that's how it goes, you can't draw the same in your comic as you do for big long care-put-in art.
this is already pretty elaborate though, are you okay with this level? it's satisfactory to the max.
>>83195205
Same boat.
But for your shading, you might wanna consider just giving it the ol' Mignola treatment. Making the areas of black touch the edge of the figure and having it be a nicely defined mass of shadow.
As it is now, it looks fine, but it's a bit busy and non-committal. Like you're trying to balance "deep shadows cast on the figure" with "I drew the nice linework, now look at it" and something's gotta give.
So I'd suggest just having the shadows be a single mass or so and figuring that part out in the pencils. You can spice it up with little lines here and there to hint at shapes, but that's about it. Otherwise you'd be figuring out a whole figure, inking it, then covering half of it so nobody sees. So if you can cast half a figure in shadow and just make it solid black: then you've got a nice figure, nice technique, and it takes half the time.
>>83195550
really, the shadows not-quite-reaching-the-edge only makes sense for something shiny
>>83195205
Wait until ColdFusion is in the thread. He intentionally draws shitty when he is actually a talented artist.
>>83193207
>always go right for the mouth.
As an owner of three dogs; yes. It is a horrible cosmic constant. On every earth in the multiverse. It is like getting a banana-slug dropped on your face.
>if Bea and Erin would just TALK
There is a very clear schism between the two, and a failure of communication is just a constant issue. They could use therapy, or some extreme distance. Time stuck together under the same roof will only continue to breed the discontent.
Really bored tonight so...who wants fanart?
>>83196806
Can you draw something related to Miss Melee?
>>83196806
I guess Angel and her superhero dress?
>>83197083
You gotta post references bruh. I'm lazy and won't look.

I guess It's good enough, I'll probably start working on the art in the panels for real in the weekend.
>>83195550
I see... I'll look into the technique so thanks anon!
>>83195731
Yeah, probably... I'll save it for the shiny stuff.
Another artstyle test.
>>83196806
Orthos please?
>>83196679
i dont mind it at all. i just had it hammered into me as a kid not to let them lick in the mouth and now i can't quite let them. but why not? cleaner'n mine.
and yeah, living together doesn't qualify as adequate time spent together working on issues. i know that for true.

How about her? >>83193870
>>83197763
just trying to help.
>>83196806
If you do fanart for me it will automatically enter the category of "fanart better than the original work" so there's that
also read my comic people its not terrible kindof
>>83197705
>>83197776
Yeah, She does have those, but the bottom of her dress whasn't shown on that page. But yeah, she does have those. you can go wild, seriously, my drawing sucks I don't care what you do with it.

gimme some.. gimme some context here. what's in it? why's that weird camel dog giving it to that little forest sprite?
>>83200264
At first, It was small joke between pages "How did the dog got himself some food" or "how did he pull it out".
It is my own inside joke that doesn't make sense outside of my head.
>>83200424
well as long as you laughed then that's all that matters
>>83200627
>well as long as you laughed then that's all that matters
Why did you make me cry and laugh at the same time?
>>83200424
Dude, your strips are always impossible to understand. I don't know if it's just your broken english's fault, maybe you are trying to translate your native language expressions too literally... but I wonder if these strips ever had any context to begin with. Maybe it's a severe case of Random access humor?
All I know is, unless you are making these bizarre strips for your amusement only, there's something wrong here.
>>83200911
Shit, I already post it on tumblr.
I guess, I redo it.
This one is a little bit wordy, hopefully not too bad.
>>83202402
that's supposed to be 'this' team, not 'his' right? i mean, zhis, in her case.
disappear* also she makes a good point. ash isnt technically disappeared
sora's losing her marbles it seems. also she's looking a lot.. muppetier than usual. it kinda works actually.
piece* in the last panel
also chucklin pretty heartily here. this is why sora is like the second best character. at least ever since annabeth's sister got retconned out. RIP little not-Sette

Are you new to 4chan? What you wanna do is click on that little post number (in your case, where it says No.83203104 ) and it will make a little reply thing appear at the beginning of the post. see how mine links back to yours? That way, everyone knows who you're replying to, and what it's about.

>i always liked your style, very expressive

I was thinking about it. I generally don't like how restrictive I've been with MWHQ and would want to have more situations that give anyone playing a lot more freedom.
>>83204360
Yeah, the big wide eyes and the nose do look similar.

I used to have some really edgy ideas. At some point I matured a bit and stopped having those. Sometimes you have to abandon it entirely, or rework it into a better shape. Of course that depends on the actual ideas or characters.

Little practice for the next and final crossover.
This one was really tough compared to any crossover I made before, including Stones of Anarchy. I felt having to balance my style with the original, and keep them easy to recognize was really difficult. I did some fuck ups on the ink that if I decide to colour this will have to be fixed, but I can blame the marker for it, for once.
Anyway, I'll have the rest inked at home, and then I'll decide if I should add colours.
