Remember the poll I used to ask what I should draw and the results were very undecided?

Here's the character sheet for Clairette and Maureen.

What else do you think I should add to a character sheet? What would you like to see?

These are two children () that I want to include in my manga project.

I decided to play with gender stereotypes and make the younger brother shy and the older sister a fighter, who protects him. Both are very clever for goblins and tend to trick their foes and run away from fights.

Also they are quite emotional, and have a strange concept of private property.
Oh, they still need names. 😅

My comic page is slowly making progress... The outlines need a lot of work this time.

🤔 I need to figure out a showdown for the end of my comic script ...

It's hard to write without knowing where the story goes. 😓

Any helpful hints and ideas?

Writing more than 40 comic script pages might be quite over ambitious... 😬

for thoses who do draw or :

What is a good number of panels per page?🤔

I think 9 is way to much. 6-7 seems okay, so I've been writing my script with about 6 panels per page.
Still, by looking at my comic I saw I often use 3- 2 panels per page!
I might need to rethink ... I've never written with panel instruction before. 😅

What do you think is a good number? And how does it affect the telling/tone and the plot?

That's the beginning of the story.
If anyone wants to help, that would be very cool. You could more, find mistakes or the characters and so on.

🎨 I'm working on another page for my comic I decided to use my drawing figures as models because my anatomy drawing looked wrong and I could not figure out how to fix them.😓
For my next comic project, I'm thinking about constantly using figures as base drawing.This would mean I'd have to photoshoot my comic fist, though.

What do you think about this idea? Do you uses references? Do you consider this cheating?

Guess what happend while .
I spilled ink on the paper! And got ink on my hand, too! 😅

But - and that's the fun part I has unexpectedly much fun and I was really enjoying inking the page.😊
It was also easier than I expected, though I might need to get a new nib soon. This one seemed to split while drawing, making inking a bit difficult at times. 🤔

Alien speaks Pirate. ☠️

I used and , it's .
I wanted to use krita only, but couldn't figure out if and how I can fill lineart with colors, 🤔 like with a bucket fill tool. So I went back to gimp for that, and for the speechbubble and text.
I made this image because I'm playing with the idea to translate my comic to diffent languages. So if I really do this, the alien can wave a flag indicating the comic's language. 🙂

1st scene is sketched (3 pages).
2 more to go. 🙂

I hope, if I'll get about 10 pages? 🤔 What do I do if I don't?
