Book cover progress/lack thereof, other ramblings etc.

... and this is where I always get stuck. I draw the characters in a funny pose, and then... what? I've no idea what to put BEHIND them. Help? I'm so stuck... :/

I am coloring all your characters in MS Paint right now... for the sole purpose of sticking them onto completely inappropriate backgrounds.

No, I don't care what their colors are supposed to be, I'm coloring them how I want them

I AM EVEN NAMING THEM AND GIVING THEM A HISTORY.

More soon!

[Nobiyuki77]

I can't wait to see. Though I'll still be coloring and doing my own thing with this. I'm hoping to make this the cover of my book once its finished.

Woooow, MS Paint exploded at my coloring. Here's what I've got so far.

Duar (like Gwar) is a rebellious rockstar vampire who is searching the world for a keytar that doesn't make him look like a wanker.

Nial (Ny all) is a run away bank teller, fleeing the law because she runs with an illegal energy drink smuggling ring.

Fiora is a refugee from a war in a distant land who is actually spying on the group for The Big Bad until she realizes that siding with the crew is the only way to make things right.

Samana is bold adventurous optimist. She has been the bestest of friends with Fiora since they were young, and they are never far apart.

Duar and Nial spend a great deal of time constantly at odds with one another. As Nial's urgency to keep on the move to evade justice openly chafes Duar's desire to search each new location thoroughly. Yet, she is the only one who can cheer him up from his brooding moods. And Duar cannot help but worry about Nial's reckless behavior.

TheBigBad, not shown in this picture, weaves the music of the world to play out the story she desires. It is she who forces Fiora and Samana's nations to slaughter each other senselessly for her amusement.

I think that covers everything... I should expand on this.

MY STORY IS ALREADY BETTER THAN YOURS.

OMG, Lunar 3???

You all are funny. A hydra.... We should have a painting contest. Or maybe most creative background. Winner gets a date with Nobi77!

[Jenner]

Winner gets a date with Nobi77!

See, now I'm discouraged to keep coloring.

... ouch. *sigh* Ah well, a couple of friends elsewhere suggested some sort of vignette so I'll have to look into designing one (I've never tried so).

Thanks anyway.

[phyco126]

Better contest: People who don't have the best background gets a date with me. =P

There ya go Nobi, you'll have approximately 3.2 billion backgrounds to choose from.

I dunno why, but my colors in progress always look freakish before they're done. >> <<

By the by, I'm coloring because I've not yet figured out what's going behind them so... yeah >> <<.

[Jenner]

Oh goddamnit. I actually colored Duar's hair the color you intended it to be. Time to change it.

I think colours in progress usually look a little freakish. I like the way you colour though, lots of different shades but all of them are distinct and work together.

Thanks. But sadly I am the world's slowest colorist! >> Below you'll see just how little an additional 3 hours of progress made.



That's it! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! >>

[Nobiyuki77]

*sigh* Still working on this, I wonder if I'll ever finish. I think I'll do the rest of the illustrations for my book in Black and White...

[Nobiyuki77]

Most of the work is done, but I STILL haven't decided what to put behind them. Damn it all!
