General Discussion

Discuss anything relating to the Crimson Bullet here. Any questions you have can be asked here as well

So first up, how often would people like to have a part of the comic released? I was thinking weekly, or perhaps one at the beginning of the week, and one at the end. Something to also think about is how much is released

ill tell you this from my experience of reading manga, if you release every week, it might be hard to keep a good plotline, so for a while release once a week then take a break to gather your thoughts and go back to it and if you think the plots going stale then start to release fortnightly so you can gather your ideas

I intend to have the story written beforehand, and then pick away at the artwork

sounds good to me then

Will this all be black & white?

all black and white, except for blood, that will be red

Holy shit, the way i was gonna draw this I am no longer gonna do. I spent 2 and a half hours on a single frame. I have a different technique I'm gonna try

holy shit? The air's always blue round DW nowadays!

...I don't get it

You used to be very strict on the language you used.

it's funny how people just notice stuff. Like I been using words like shit for some time now, even here, and no one is noticing until now. It's the same at work, I been using words like that there for over a year and they're just noticing

No, I've noticed, but thatI don't remember such a potent combination before. I don't remember any blasphemy either.

i haven't blasphemed. If you are referring to the word holy, that is not blaspheming, holy simply means pure/set apart. Blaspheming is using the Lord's name in vain (ie: exclaiming JC (except in full) when stubbing ones toe)

yay, i'm about one panel away from uploading the first segment to the comic!

first installment is up! Enjoy!!

looks good, i just don't get why crimson is randomly smashing a guys face into a table

that's why you must wait for next week. that fact should've been obvious

You know, when you used the sketch of that woman in your avatar, I thought you were terra. She always use pictures like these.

Now I remember what is Crimson Bullet. It was that comic series you said on the Connexion.

....um, no. I just made Crimson BUllet up this week. I even googled the name to make sure it wasn't taken already

I just noticed the costume design part. Then I realised what Shemuel was saying. What happened to the age 14 thingy (Not you thingy!)

One more thing: Did you use photoshop, marker and paper or both?

tis pen and marker on paper, and for the straight black fills and the red fills (ie the blood on the cover) I use Corel Painter. I have actually last night re-designed her costume and am just doing some tests now with it. I think it's a better costume that actually works physically instead of the one she wears now

I meant : Is Crimson Bullet the one which you discussed on the connexion as a comic series with no ideas yet?

no, like I said, I just invented her this week. The one on the Connexion was going to be the RP called deception, ringing any bells or do I have to repeat the fact that I just made Crimson up this week?

Get a tablet DW, and then practice with it first... then try to do more digital artwork.. See where it goes, unless you like the old style of pen and pencil.

i use a tablet for the digital work, I like the use of pen and paper, I'm sick and tired of all this digital crap

It's going to make pen and paper obsolete first...

Pen and paper will never be obsolete. Especially as it's better for your eyes.

Yeeeah, the digital age has been around like what, 20 years? Pen and paper in its various forms have basically been around since the dawn of time. People I don't think will completely convert to digital, many people, including young people dislike it, like shem said, it's hard on the eyes and lacks that human element. It will never be obsolete, and of that, I am quite certain

For some reason I like the pose when she smashed the guy's head.

yeah, me too. I think it's because she looks so calm and casual, yet she's smashing this ripped guys face on the bar counter.

Anyways, I gotta get to drawing my bit for Monday as I'm almost out of time!

The headsmash! YEAH!

For some reason that strip reminded me of this song:
