BA 4.57-4.60 (June NaNo 5-8) + Fourth Target Title

No, Xella, you are not allowed to think you're ahead, because you still have to finish up page 52 for the real comic!

I can wholly sympathize with the too earliness. (That why I have two living alarm clock known a cats-with-bottomless-stomach)
Will she have a tanning mark of the sun ray?

I think she will, though I'm not sure how deep/dark it'll be (she was only in the light for a little bit of time before waking up from the discomfort). Since she didn't really scorch, it'll likely be faded by late afternoon, though. I just gotta remember to make sure it doesn't magically disappear every so often, haha.

Ha ha I got that with Sunday's satchel, I'm putting a little piece of post it on her character sheet for the details that come and go, but I still forgot about it (or forgot to put the post it ^^;)

The cover reminds me of the Gunsmith Cats duo for some reason. XD As far as background suggestions, the first thing I thought of was a big blue sky (I love skies), but if you feel that's too boring, maybe start listing things about the premise that you want to convey? Maybe a split background with "evil vampire" symbolism (night/graveyards) on one side and "holy priest" symbolism (day/church) on the other side?

It also might be nice to get a flavor of the setting, since the clothes could fit in just about any time period and the typography (while it's artfully laid out) is very bold and modern and blocky. Is your story contemporary? Medieval? Fantasy? Will there be magic? Is it taking place in a castle/village/forest? Are they going to be stuck with this large group of people who are coercing them to work together?

Things to think about!

Hehehe, I love how you show the two characters contrasted against each other. I'm sooooo on the right side of the page. ;)

xella June 7 2011, 06:03:35 UTC

Ooooh yeah, me too :P I -wish- I could wake up in the morning, but it's just as likely to be 6pm as AM, rofl.

Haha I like the cover. Very appropriate! I love how you bring out their different personalities with their morning routine :)

The contrasting pages are really fabulous. I love how you convey the motion of rolling around in the bed. Side note... I'd like to see a girl be able to fasten a bra backwards. Take it off is one thing. Put it on and have all the hooks be on the right row of eyelets? Mad skills. XD

I rather like your hand typography! It's rather charming. :3

Haha yeah, for a long time I wouldn't wear anything but sports bras or bras with the hooks in the front 'cos I felt inferior for not being able to hook them in the back properly (then I learned that I could just pull them on like I would a sports bra, pre-hooked, and it basically worked the same).

I credit Sevvie's superhuman abilities with her back-closing bra talents!
