Aaand we’re ready to start the first chapter, with a simplistic sorta fingerpainting style. Don’t worry, the comic itself is in b/w so it won’t look this messy. (NOTE – actually, yes it will. : P ) I’m really not worried about artistic quality for the comic; I just want to present a story visually without taking away from my schoolwork very much. I may get better just from practicing drawing everyday or whatever, or I may not. I really don’t know. This is not as high-priority to me as the Totally Not-Canon Adventures. So I feel I can get away with some light-hearted sloppiness.
Now that I’ve defended my laziness in full, on with the story! First page up Monday. After the first Flairé page.
Okay. So this is the finished version of the cover. Actually I was planning to tidy up the sketch cover considerably, but then… I decided it was cute and didn’t really matter.
So, check back Friday sometime because the first page of Eros+Psyche will go up! I hope this story is enjoyable despite me just scribbling around with the art. : P
Cheers!
Them’s bedroom eyes, Eros…
Ooh, possible upcoming project for winter! A webcomic retelling of the tale of Eros and Psyche, which is probably my favourite Greco-Roman myth. Psyche is the worried looking girl and Eros is the sparkly semi-transparent god peeking at her behind her back.
We discussed this legend today in Greek and Latin Roots of English, and I abruptly got the idea for a webcomic, so I went home and drew this right away.
This is only a preview of the cover; the finished cover will be much more sparkly and colourful and pretty. This is just a quick sketch to get my ideas down. The comic itself will probably be in b/w so as to save time. There will be chibis! Despite Venus being the goddess of physical interpersonal relations and Eros her son being the god of pretty much the same thing, it will be a family friendly webcomic. Also people will more or less be wearing clothes and the worst language you will get will probably be “Aw, crud”.
And now I am going to go watch Andy – I mean, le Tour, and see if Tyler wins a sprint today yay!
