Dogwood Blossoms: Ch1 p1-5

[purplerebecca]

Getting this started! This is the first post of Dogwood Blossoms, a Sess/Rin Inuyasha doujinshi/fancomic I've been working on.

Dogwood Blossoms is going to be a part-comic/part-prose Inuyasha manga-based fanfiction focusing on Sesshoumaru/Rin, and involving reincarnation, flashbacks, history, culture clashes, and multiple original characters.

You know, that's a good font choice for the thoughts. Despite not being one of the smallcaps fonts, it works.

Another thought, since I'm still not sure I like the font for spoken dialogue.... You differentiate thoughts with square boxes and thought bubbles, so why not use the same font for both?

For my own webmanga, I use Blambot's Anime Ace font for both thoughts and dialogue, and differentiate between the two with the presentation of the speech bubbles, so that could work for you to. As another suggestion.

But this does look better, since the serif font was reduced to credits/page numbers only.

He. Very meaty Inuyasha. Why is Rin half-blooded in this?

[nokomarie]

Maybe Georgia font.

:] I like'm solid.

Rin's full human, waht?
I've made her American because I wanted to have at least one character from a culture I actually know. She's the only one I won't have to do any research on.

I made her half-Japanese in ethnicity because I think Sesshoumaru will have a hard enough time with her being American, without her being a weird-eyed blonde as well. :)
And that's the short of it.

I'll check the font. I rather like the one I'm using.
Thanks! ^^

I just worry because Eurasian girls are considered rather ugly in Asian culture. Big noses, gauche manners and unexpectedly heavy hair growth in certain areas is a big turn-off. They simply aren't very forgiving to someone who looks like they should be just like them but isn't. So it causes problems. That's what I meant by half-blood, it's thought of as weird and a bit suspect.

By all means suit yourself, the font seems a tad spare though in an area that could use a slight serif is all.

Beautiful! And such a great idea too! I love it, and I ADORE reincarnation themes. Do you mind if I watch so I can read your updates?
Love the character design, btw.

I was sent over here by Feni (fenikkusuken) and I'm glad she brought me over. You're quite talented! Plus, I get a kick out of the fact that Rin's Scotch-Irish (so am I!). Looking forward to the next installment...may I friend?
