Earth, Water, Wind, Fire

This is being done for a storyboarding assignment - a set of 4 postcards which can be joined together to form one image, but still be stronge enough to stand on its own. Inevitably, I came up with an idea that incorporated ZB, and the teacher really likes it. :)

The above is the (very messy) second sketch draft. Just to give a quick breakdown:
  • Tatsu - Wind
  • Nezumi - Water
  • Tora - Fire
  • Buta - Earth

Lineart stage. Took me 5 hours to finish everything. XD I get the feeling some of the detail will be lost once I add colour... The elements clashing will be painted in later.

Here's a closeup view of the lineart.

Character Balance Meme

Haven't posted here in a while... uni work and commissions keeping me busy with barely enough time to pump out the weekly page. >_<
Results were quite interesting, albeit expected, to say the least. Tatsu was made to be a mentor and guide, and be powerful from the start, so he should be fine the way he is. Inu though, I might need to tone him down a little for when he becomes a main character.

These 7 are probably the most developed out of the vast number of characters I have planned for this comic, and I tried to limit it to zodiacs only, as I sadly haven't done as much work with the humans. Need to rectify this!

And yes, I did design Tatsu to be bishounen. XD
