:new: Introducing two new OC's - Savannah and Alton!


Well, after three very LONG months, page four has finally arrived!! :phew: What a job - 87 layers in total! (I only worked on it for 2 weeks, not the 3 months :XD:) But damn, I'm proud of this one. :love: And here's your very first sneak peek of their parents - their dam, Savannah, and their sire, Alton! :wave: The colours are muted in the panels they appear in as it's Brooke's flashback, but they will be appearing in full colour in Chapter Two (which is the next page).

And so, Chapter One is finished at last! Sorry to keep y'all waiting. ^^; And this is the most drawings I've done in the comic so far without need of a reference - seven out of the ten panels (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 & 9) were drawn from my imagination! WOOOO! :dance:

:police: I would appreciate any Spirit-style haters or people who have a problem with this kind of art or my characters to keep their opinions to themselves. Criticism on anatomy/story line is unwelcome... it's a fantasy comic, and I'm not going for realism here, thank you!

Oooo flash back. I like the sepia tint to the flash back, that is a good idea to use in comics. This must have taken you forever. My comic is no walk in the park when it comes to time XP I'm just trying to actually get it all sketched first *sigh*

Anywho, their parents are lovely, I can see where they get all their nice markings and colors from <3 I am sure everyone is now waiting for the next page with that little cliff hanger!
