suction -3-

Much less re-working compared to the previous page - I basically lopped off the right side. Bam, done. The shirt fix was a bit tougher - for some reason Ornix-in-the-page has been skewed a bit and doesn't match up with Ornix-the-scanned-linework, which made implementing the shirtfix a bit of a hassle. Hopefully he isn't this demanding in all of his appearances.

Oh, and that's not a shotgun pistol. It's a .50 caliber. Disregard the bit below.

===================================================

The panel with the 12-guage pistol was drawn first, and Ornix had a seriously nasty case of Sonic The Stampede hair. It was totally buttlord. Thanks to the miracles of masking and cropping, you've all been spared from looking at what I actually drew, which is horrid and painful and bad and so forth.

This is the right side of a two page spread.

Unlike suction 9 and 10, suction 13 and 14 are built on top of a single piece of digital art that stands on its own, as you can see here:

I like the way the piece turned out, both with and without panels - as you can see, I wound up doing some additional panel-fitting adjustments to the backdrops to get everything to work correctly. Since the nifty bits are completely occluded by panels, I've used the same file as the base for the final page of the chapter, and put it to much better use.

The sock-in-the-crotch thing was unintentional. Honest. Blame it on years of drawing my own porn.
