Oh look, a new character! But it's a flashback character, so does it really count? :I Whatevs!
So in the last update I mentioned how updates would be slowing down quite a bit while I get settled in with school and get my portfolio together for college. I've been quite busy lately making arts and getting a decent portfolio together as well as completing school work, and lo and behold, it's been a month since I've last updated Acting Out! That simply won't do, will it?! I finished the line art for this comic weeks ago and the file has been sitting on my computer untouched for quite some time. Admittedly I did have some school/portfolio work to catch up on today, but I was like, "Screw that! My comic needs me!!"
So here is the long awaited update for you, all nice and neat-like, to show you guys how much I care. C: I hope you haven't forgotten too much about what's been going on, but if you have, perhaps you'll review the last couple of pages. I'm going to try super hard from now on to keep updates from being this spaced apart, so hopefully this will be the only time you may have to review some material. I hope you can forgive me.
Nice to see you back. I like how you create your crowds, they look nice. Although I'm in it for your characters and colors. Recently tried to do some basics fills for one of my pages and several hours later no success but a much greater respect for those who can and do. And new characters even if flashback do count!
Thank you very much! -^^- Hehe, drawing crowds is yet another thing I'm usually not so good at, but I really buckled down and took the time to form some decent looking crowds for this page (in the past I would've just kept the whole crowd as shadowy figures, or just left the school deserted, lol!) So thank you, I'm glad my efforts have been a success!
What program do you use? I always work in layers on Adobe Photoshop Elements so when I color all I have to do is have the lineart on one layer and add the colors on a layer underneath.
Heck, Dan's a cool dude. He can totally be a new character if he wants to be. ;D
I'm using Gimp 2.6 and it's both my first art program and I've only had it since Oct. 1rst. Basically I'm a newbie to digital art programs and my traditional ink pen & brush style doesn't lend itself to easy fills,ect. Been using my b/w chibi banner as practice for some basics. Thanks for responding and letting me soak in your colors and humor.
Oh, I used Gimp once a looong while back, but I don't really remember a lot about it so I'm not sure whether or not it allows you to work in layers. I would definitely recommend using a program that allows you to work in layers. It's such a hassle to try and fill the colors along the lineart on one layer (and that's with solid colors. Try to add shading and it's hell. xD).
Lol, thank you for you lovely comments~! (and thinking that I'm funny, hehe! ^^)

Middle schoolers can be so cruel sometimes.

(I suppose that doesn't count as a spoiler, since this is a flashback and it's pretty obvious that that has to happen eventually. xD)
(xD hahaha you win this assault)
