Clash of Two - Page 2/3by *Fourth-Star

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Comics / Pages

Here is the second page! Let the action begin

Who will win? Bets are open.

Introducing Fezar's element, none other than ice 8) Now even Fez' and Kade's elements are complete opposites, that sounds promising.

I really loved drawing that last panel! xD Hope you enjoy!

PS: I'm sorry I terribly SUCK at drawing feathered wings Dx need to train.

PS²: Oh, you also have a demonstration of Kade's "crackling" fire ability in the last panel

Imagine it being just like fireworks.

The next (and last) page should come tomorrow, I hope. I've been feeling sick today and almost didn't post this one, so hopefully I'll be able to post the last page tomorrow as planned..

Are solna's markings supposed to glow like that?

How do you get back only the elemental forces? So beautiful!

I meant to say Luffy is bipedal, which means two-legged. Skye is quadrupedal, which is four-legged.

One more thing I forgot to critique in this comic; the action scenes. Whenever you get the chance to create a deeper comic, work on those fight scenes. The last two panels on the second page, needs to be more dynamic. Kade and Vol aren’t doing anything significant. It looks like they are simply scratching each other’s paws or giving each other a high five. Or, in this case a high four. In the third page, it seems like their stances are still and the panel looks centered and flat.

I know their fights aren’t serious, but today’s audience is looking for fast and furious action. Hence, the reason why manga is so popular. I’m not saying you should involve a lot of blood and gore, but maybe add a few tackles, takedowns, or tail whips. If you are not into physical contact, have these characters spew some magic out of their faces. A fight involves three acts: the preparation, the confrontation, and the fight. You got the first two acts down, however the fight itself needs to be more creative. You have good foreshortening, though.

Read lots of manga or other American comics to get some good ideas for action scenes. One Piece is a good example. The problem with this is none of the characters in One Piece are bipedal. So you would have to be creative with the certain perspectives in your art. You would have to adopt Luffy’s stance into Skye’s stance in some fashion. Also, you really need to add some onomatopoeia, which are sound effects in comics. One piece uses onomatopoeia to death. Just don’t add multiple “DOOMS” like One Piece does. I found that to be unnecessary.

Alright, I read One Piece so I'll try to take example from it x3 I do have trouble making fight scenes look dynamic

And I'm always afraid adding onomatopoeias would make the page look silly so I tend to avoid them...But I'll do that next time then. Thanks!

No prob. Onomatopoeias aren’t always needed, but they do add some extra flavor to a comic book. We never watch movies without sound effects because it would not feel nor sound alive. When we see characters clash, we expect lots of sounds. Reading an action comic book without any sound effects will look boring. You’re sound effects do not have to be big and round, however they do need some room either behind the subjects or somewhere in the corner of these panels.

Awesome as always! 8D

Epic contrast effect on all the three pages, and like every of your works, it's very well detailed, on both characters and background (still without "over-detailing" the characters).
But I don't really like Fezar's colors... neither the brown nor how they all mix together. Lastly, Fezar's "hair"-like horns makes me feeling him more like "a wrongly formed human that looks a bit like a dragon-bird" than a dragon on something close to it. I more like Jaze's design (maybe it's a bit more "normative" design, but I very prefer them to Fezar's one).

Good work anyway.
