Making a comic

Today I decided I would make a comic, so I spent hours just making up two pages. I don't know if I will continue it or not, but I wanted to show what I have done so far.
All rights to this original artwork is reserved to me.

I wanted to try some horror fiction recently, so that's the general mood I'm going for.
(Since there are only a few pages, it doesn't really make sense at all... but yeah, it's based of a weird dream I had.)


Note: The panels/speech are designed to be read Right to Left.

Here is some unreleased background art for page 13 that I never finished.

O.o So talented, that is amazing, mate. You should definitely continue it, I for one would love to read it. My god, the illustrations..

Updated original post with a third page.
(The bottom box is the boy, I just detailed his clothes so they look different.)

Oh, this looks good. Not that it's surprising, you do have a gift for illustrating and setting up atmosphere and composition and whatnot. As much as I see, it's drawn digitally, right? Did you use some comics-making program for putting it together or did it all manually?

I was considering trying out comics recently too so I'm really curious about how other people do it :3 Also, I agree with Laure above, you should continue it.

Nice. I'm guessing the bottles and the "full" doctor are what took you the longest? (And dang, what sort of dreams are you havin' man?)

What sort of tone did you use? I've tried making my own brushes, but they never turn out so well. Be careful though, it ALMOST comes close to over-use here, especially where you start to see the "diamond" patterns. (mostly in the shading, I think.)

@EloquentDragon
The Illustrations take the longest. The bottles don't take too long because I use photo's to base them off.
The full doctor took a very long time.

For the tones I just went on google and did a search for various 'screen tones' for the dotted pattern ones ect, and for the smooth ones I just use the gradient tool.

@AriaAdams
I use GIMP to but the graphic side of the comic together, do the effects, ect.
For the raw sketches I use a program called SAI

Added yet a new page!
Forgot to add the scar on his arm in the small version, but it's in the large link.

Ooh very cool! I like how you set it up and all the suspense and art and...
all of it is very wonderful. The textures feel a bit forced in some places though, especially around the two full figures' clothing.

@Fortis
The textures depend on the zoom of the images. If you look at the full version its generally better.
(Fir example in the fourth page the texture on the boy on the small image looks a bit funny but it looks flat on the full sized image)
For example, the second page, at a particular zoom, turns rainbow. XD

You're right! That does look loads better. See what I get for being too lazy to click links...

Added new page XD I think I'm getting carried away with the huge sketches. I'll have to make the next one more plot heavy.

Just added two more pages which concludes that chapter.

Nice! Though some of the action, running poses look a bit stiff >>.. But that's good!

A nice program is Manga Studio 5. I have it and it is amazing! You might find it very easy to use ^.^

Good job though!

Three more pages added at once! I forgot I had one made so I got to put in an extra one.
For those who think page 9 is bigger than the rest, it isn't, it just doesn't have a boarder....(most have white boarders) sorry, it bugs me too.

Why japanese land order?

Also pretty good, but a tad too meta still at this point.
