Description First page of my fan comic about Scar's early life. The prologue pages were definitely be traditionally done but I think all the pages after that will have to be digital since watercolor paper is expensive. D8

Nicely done. I've never seen a webcomic ever made in watercolors (or any traditional medium for that matter), but I like it.

Thanks! :> Unfortunately after the prologue, traditional watercolor likely won't be incorporated in it anymore. >:

I understand, keeping something like that up takes a lot. I think making only the prologue in watercolor is a nice way of setting it apart from the rest of the comic.

I have to tell you that watercolour looks fabulous here and it's a pity that you can't afford... but I know, the art materials can be very expensive

Thanks~ x3 Yeah. Fortunately I downloaded some watercolor brushes for photoshop that imitate watercolor pretty well so hopefully I'll be able to keep the watercolor look that a lot of people seem to like. :>

Yeah. >: It's alright though because I may be able to imitate it pretty closely in photoshop~ :>

Wow, this is beautiful!

It's sad that you might not continue with the water colour. You're amazing and it looks so unique!

Thank you~ x3

Yeah, I wish I could continue with it really bad beyond the prologue. >: But at $15 for 12 sheets, I definitely couldn't afford it. D8 Fortunately the line work will still be traditional. I'll just do all coloring/shading digitally. I'll do my best to keep it looking watercolor-y.

I completely understand. But that sounds very steep!!
I guess that that will look brilliant too. I will still follow this comic avidly!

It is. >: The downside to living in an art oriented city. Lots of competing art stores but they know that us art college kids have to get the supplies regardless of the price. ; n;

Yay! x3 I'm glad people are liking it so much so far. People really seem to like it in watercolor so I'll do my best to get more sheets of it. :>

An art oriented city? Sounds cool!

Well, like I said, I'm sure people will love it and still follow the comic, whatever you do <3

Aren't there any cheaper?
I don't buy watercolour paper at art stores since it's expensive as hell there,
but at grocery stores I pay about 4€ for 20 sheets D: Really good ones too!

It looks so fabulous so I'd defintely like to see it continue as watercolour :')

lightningspam In reply to KattFloka [2013-06-09 19:22:54 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately no. The watercolor I have now is the cheapest available. And our grocery stores don't carry art supplies beyond crayola brand stuff usually and notebook paper. >: I think I saw a cheap sketchpad once at the store I work at but that paper was barely going to be able to take crayon drawing let alone a wet medium.

In my previous apartment I would have been able to buy several pads of watercolor paper to keep this going but my new one costs a lot more so money is really tight. >: But the moment I have spare money to get more, I definitely will. :> Watercolor is my favorite medium.

Thank you~ x3
