Ch2 24
You just said he’s not worth it! YOU JUST SAID THOSE VERY WORDS! You’re not listening to yourself, are you? At this point, anything that happens to you from here on out is your own fault, Hasera. You could have just walked away, but noooooo! Let’s prove me right and him wrong because I’m Hasera and I can’t possibly be wrong! Enjoy your misery!
Is her eyeshadow just that dark or did her eyes temporarily go demony?
It’s not eye shadow, it’s just the way I shade my eyes. So they’re not demony =)
That’s my bad, I put skin tone in the clenched eye. It should probably have been solid black. I’ll try and avoid that in the future as to avoid this confusion! Thanks for the feedback!
Seems like she thinks it’s not the real Lark, but an imposter. If she was right, then the binding ritual would presumably bounce and out him as an imposter.
But she’s not that lucky… >:D
You are correct, Stardrake! If the essences bound within the orb do not belong to both parties in the ritual, then the ritual will not begin. The Gods will not bind the spirits together. The orb would just stay inert until the correct people touch it simultaneously (Willing or not).
BAH HAH HAH Oh Hass this will end poorly. I mean, hilariously. I mean, poorly.
I think you mean hilariously poorly XD
Poorly for Hass, hilariously for us.
Outtake scene, Hasera follows Lark to his new ladyfriend’s lair, only to be stopped by a securely locked door!
Now she has to wait outside… but not out of earshot of the sweet, sweet lovemaking.
LOL!!
Nye heh heh, the fool’s shenanigans continue 😀
On a side-note, why is the lark so tone-on-tone wth the wall ?
We’re trying new lighting techniques, some extreme and some not =)
Always nice to see experiments, it means that the artists are totally into what they’re doing. You might want to change the lighting on the dancer too, though, because right now it mostly looks like the Lark’s colours has been forgotten.
Hi there, I’ve really been enjoying My Hero after arriving here from Out of My Element. I do have a review recommendation for a webcomic that could really use some more attention: Crezure, at http://crezure.thecomicseries.com/
It will appear next Thursday in the review! This Thursday was already taken by Unsounded, as requested last week (And damn, is it long!)
Few comments, firstly, I absolutely love the lark’s snarky line in this one. Delightful :D.
as for the clenched eyes….I think the biggest problem that makes them look demon-y is the fact that the outlines are so thick that it defies the conception of an outline and the brain decides to interpret it as filling. If all other outlines were this thick, the comic would be godawful ugly, but the brain would be willing to accept that as two conjoined crescent shapes. as it is now, though, the brain compares that outline with other outlines and says nerp, that there’s a filled in blackspot, she’s got black eyes. Just throwing that out there.
Regarding the shading on Lark: I think it’s a good idea, playing with the shading like that, but were I to critique it, I’d say that the problem is with consistency. Lark appears transparent, mirroring the wall’s color. This is because the point of reference he is in has too many inconsistencies. The first inconsistency is in the beam. It does, in fact, shade from dark to light, but this shading is broken by the mistress’s hair, making it not necessarily appear that way unless you look rather closely. The mistress herself is the second (and primary) inconsistency. Lark, who is clearly in the exact same location as her by the fact that he’s touching her, should be affected by lighting effects the exact same, but she doesn’t shade from top to bottom the same way he does, so the result is that she appears to anchor him into non-shaded space, (similar to the point of reference Hasera is in, she’s un-shaded), meaning that the eye perceives that he’s somehow discolored or possibly transparent. Now there is some skin-tone in his shading that sets him slightly apart from the wall, so he seems to default at discolored, but the mind tries to justify it and he appears somewhat transparent. It’s a strange effect.
Not sure if that’s of any help, or if it just sounds jackassy, but that’s my view on it. I’ve been greatly enjoying the comic, however, keep it up 🙂
Yeah. We’re still experimenting. I’ll be going back and touching up this page to fix that problem
ya I think I am going to fill in those eyes completely and as for the purple, we’re gonna go back and tone it down a bit so Lark doesn’t disappear into the background. Great suggestions! Thank you for bringing them forward =D
I do like a character who can deliver a good snark.
Though saying that about Lark right now makes it sound like some kind of weird sexy times thing …
Oh you poor, poor woman.
