I am not a comic artist by trade (or at least, I don't want to be), so I usually don't upload comic pages until I'm halfway done with them. This is yet another vignette comic, in the same vein as "Monster". It might be 6 or more pages. I don't know yet, but the script isn't very long.

I already redid this page, and mostly I'm uploading it to establish the style before I overwork things to death. I'm having a real perfectionism problem lately; whatever enjoyability I might get out of my art is wrecked by the need to perform the my utmost. I think it's because I feel my portfolio is extremely lacking in many respects: consistent style, relevance, and in some cases, competence. But we'll see. I know I'm a good artist, the rest of the world just needs to get with the program.

The comic is meant to establish the world in Mark of the Conifer; I'm just playing around with the mores and values of the dinosaurs. Don't get attached to anyone; they all die in the novel. Eh heh.

You have some of the most profound and interesting comics and this is one of my favorites by far. :rose:

I like how they view the sun and moon in a reptor-esque way. This is good!

Simbamarasa put me on to this and I have to say, it is ASTOUNDING. Make sure you let me know if you ever get Mark of the Conifer published, because it looks like it will be a great read -- I mean, if you could establish a world so well in 6 comic pages? :)

I certainly will. I ruined the thing for myself by making it into an animated storyboard that is just awful in its ... awfulness. But it's consistently commented on, so there's something of value to say of that.
Heh. Good luck with your "campaign" against Wadi.

Now, now. Your firstborn's indentured servitude will be more than enough for me.

this is the first time I stumble upon a dino-comic. You wouldn´t know if there are more in da? I liked (just read all pages) the plot/story a lot. It was simple but still unique :) Also had to admire the dinosaurus on every page!! Wish I could draw them as well as you :D though have never tried, probably too complicated for me ^^; :+fav:

Ah, no, DA seems to be lacking in the dino comic area. Which is why, I suspect, my humble little comic has gotten so popular. I've found my niche!

Ahhh I read this last night.. <33 It was wonderful. Profound.. I love the idea too; it's so original. The raptors (oh god.. o.o Random, but my Firefox thing doesn't even recognize that as a word..) have such an interesting culture. x3 I like to think they weren't Jurassic-Parky monsters that destroy anything that moves. Ahhah, and they're adorable. xDD You have the cutest dinosaur style~ I want to pinch their little jaw-membranes and squeal. 8D They're so realistic and detailed, but at the same time they can have any range of emotion (the "you've-got-to-be-kidding-me" look in the last panel is too much xD), and their own distinct appearances. :B I love ittt~~

Plus.. it's visually amazing. <3 You're one of the-- if not _the_-- best ink artists I've ever seen.. I know it can be difficult to work with, and add water in there.. xD I had to use watercolor almost all last year in my art class, and it was so frustrating and messy.. it gave me a real appreciation for people who can use watered-down media like this. xD The composition of the frames looks fantastic (another thing that's totally beyond me xD), as well as the balance of dark and light. Gah, it's just beautiful. <3 Honestly, it makes me sort of stop breathing. *Noms pages*
