Wacom art (WIP)

Been working on some stuff since I came back from vacation and decided to pick up my wacom tablet for the kick. Here is the result :

Edge_Moon.jpg

Mix of Photoshop, a few photo manips and such. Yes, Edge from FFIV, been playing a lot.

Also, been trying to make a comic version of a fanfic I'm working on (for FFIV too), to see if it would "look right" in pictures as well as words (WIP, barely started shading the 1st pass). The font won't stay, just used what came up first just to put text in there, will definitely replace it:

Opinions and critique welcome :)

    Did she break her hand in the second to last panel?
    Seriously though I immediately knew who the folks were, even without reading you comments, so that's good at least. But the ground(?) in the third to last panel looks messed up. Also the colors bleed outside of the panels(which kind bugs me too) and in the first edge pic, it doesn't look natural with the moon being realstic and him not.

    If you made that moon from scratch, I tip my hat to you sir.

    If not, ignore me...

    How come in the first panel... the moon has the moon in the background?

    At least the characters are recognizable :) You just made me realize that the filler layer that goes over the panels was hidden, my bad! The background/ground in the third to last panel does looks funny, although it's not completed yet. Just tried to sketch a rocky surface, still have to detail it.

    The more I look at the "hand" the more I see what you mean. I originaly meant for her arm to be behind the rock, but perhaps I didn't place the rock adequately. Leaving a small part of the hand visible leaves much to confusion. Hmmm, will have to work on this.

    I get your point for the moon's detailing. I was a bit lazy and complemented the drawing with a photo montage to get the texturing on that ball of rock and should have adjusted the level of detail with a few filters to get it to blend in a bit more.

    I'll play with this some more this week, see if I can make decent corrections.

    Oh, in FFIV, there are two moons in the sky, so by being on one's surface, you would see the other in the sky.

    At least there wasn't any flying japanese whales... oh wait! o.O
