NDA Art Critique Message Boards

VOTE ON TWC and keep voting pretty much all week, because I'll be updating the incentive with a new part of the Kirsaian ref each day. Today starts with some general information, and general info will continue tomorrow. After that I'll cover each race in humanoid form and each in dragon form, and those'll actually have some pictures!

And if you see any typos, uh... point them out. XD I caught one and fixed it, but I don't know how many more there are.

So I hope nobody minds reading some rambling info about a made-up species.

Cool! And I don't mind reading the info. I enjoy it!

Sorry for my lack of activity. I was camping all week in Blue Mesa, Gunnison, CO.

Welcome back (?)! I hope you saw most (if not all) parts of the ref, but soon I'll have the whole thing up on the site so if you missed anything it'll be hiding there somewhere soon.

Uh.... I have no art figured out for a new vote incentive, but I have a few sketches/WIPs lying around. D'you think... Cael (Torin's little sister, y'know), Faustulus (again), or an adult satyr whose identity I probably won't determine until I'm near-done? XD (He looks kinda like Torin, but I'm not entirely sure that's who I want.) I'll probably do all of them eventually, but I don't know which to work on first...

Thank you! I'll find it eventually. :D

I'd like to see Cael a little more. ^^

Well, I got a picture of Cael up! As always, I'm trying to get votes out of it. XD Not entirely sure what I was doing with the picture, but it turned out pretty well in my opinion. The hard part was the shading on the face. I'm used to upper lighting.

I'm also almost done with that other picture of the unidentifiable satyr, and working on who he is (no one important to the story, not to worry!).

And speaking of the story I'm in the process of sketching the first page of chapter 5. Woohoo! I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I was almost hoping the beginning of that chapter would be page 100, but alas. I had to expand a bit on Sil's reaction to the events of chapter 4, so chapter 5 starts on page 102. >_> I could always change pages 100 and 101 to 101 and 102 and make the title page of chapter 5 page 100 (thus placing the last two pages of chapter 4 into chapter 5 instead) but I think they should be included in "The Kirsaian War" just for unity's sake. Then after chapter 4 we shall speak no more of the Reper incident. XD It'll just keep things unified properly. Of course, if I ever change my mind a few alterations to the database down the road (once the pages are up, of course) will fix any ordering issues.

And no, the ref still isn't up yet. Working out some issues with the new layout first. XD

Wow! Cael's got some magic going on there! Do all magic users' eyes start glowing when they cast spells?

Sounds like you've got quite a bit going on! I think you should just leave chap. 5 as pg 102. Unless of course you call it 100.2 XD

Hey, I like your comic. It's a good story. I'd love to see more of it. And I like how you draw. I'll be checking in every once in a while.

Stardust: It's an interesting thing about this picture. Like I said, I have nothing to explain it or excuse myself. XD No, eyes generally don't glow in the comic unless under special circumstances. This was just for the purpose of this picture (because I couldn't imagine it any other way, haha). Satyrs' eyes really aren't intended to glow, but Kirsaians' eyes do if they're about to change from natural form to dragon form or back again.

Yeah, and I'm thinking of just leaving the pages as they are. XD


Hydra: Glad you like it so far! Thank you, thank you! It has a long way to go. I hope you're not getting at all attached to the centaur, Sil, because he's scheduled to leave on page 121, and after that we won't see him for quiiiite a while. (Given, of course, that I stick to the plans! Sometimes I don't. Give or take a few pages, haha.)

I like, Sil... But maybe the North guy will replace him. lol

Getting rid of Sil so soon? :( I knew it was coming but I'm still not prepared for it. Oh well, that's life. I shall deal with it maturely... *hides in corner and cries*
