Artist's Comments

The beginning at last!

I've been wanting to post this for a good long while now, and...well, here it is! These are the the first five pages of what's evolved into 'Alfonse and Domingo' (first story entitled "Market Day';) that I've been hinting at for a while now :)

This is an original project I've been developing all semester. I have really gotten excited about the characters and the world.
There's more Alfonse and Domingo skittering around the recesses of my imagination...plenty more, and I hope that this is the start of something a little more long-term ;) Anyways, I've been having a good time :)

I REALLY hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed working it up!

A combo of work done in Nick Bertozzi's comic class (lineart) and Mary Jane's Color Works class (color...:p).
The characters, settings, and everything in the comic are my original creations. No stealing.

----

EDIT: I went back in and messed with some of the little color things that were driving me CRAZY. And, of course, a format change because the horizontal format is SUCH A PAIN online :p Hopefully this makes everyone happier...it did me :) Thanks for all the comments!

You can read pages 6-10 in black and white here:

This is so cool, I love the steampunk-without-post-apocalyptic feel to it, and all the unusual creatures, as well as the clothing. You've seamlessly introduced us to their world, without making it too alien. I'm very pleased, and would like to see more. n_n

Storytellers and writers are all gods and goddesses, to a one. Musicians are their host, painters their scribes, and actors their saints--but all arts start with a story to tell.

its a beautiful piece and a lovely introduction to both the character and the world - well done you! :D

One minor query - what are the ages of the characters? I was trying to figure out if they were husband and wife or mother and son and it wasn't obvious - is that naturally ambiguous at this stage? :)

I love that Domingo is a flying manta ray. The colours are good, as well. I like the look of the market town.
