Comic Genesis Forums

Since I finally finished chapter 2, I thought I'd plug again ^_^; I WAS going to wait until I finished redoing some of the earlier pages, but that isn't going to happen for awhile sooo...

Fox Tails is about a guy named Keen who's life takes an incredibly strange turn when he saves the life of a spirit fox (Or she thinks he did at least). Now he has to try to get used to her following him around all the time, and all the other weird stuff that comes with it!

Hope you like it!

Hmm... I ran across your comic a few days before this pitch, read a bit of it...

Now I read a bit more :-p

I'll read the whole archives thru later, but I like it so far.

Cute foxes

I'm glad you like it so far! I hope you like the rest of the archives too ^^;

I think you need some work on the human figure. In some panels shoulders and chest don't make any sense, or are really amorphic. Perspective also needs work in some backgrounds. I've learned from experience that people who attempt to imitate manga or anime styles without learning human figure first tend to have art that doesn't look too professional. Look at how people are drawn, and THEN add stylizations.

I didn`t know the legend and I like the way you introduced it. And the foxes are SOOO CUTE!

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I've been practicing a lot, and lately I've been drawing more realistic-type figures. So hopefully I'll get better soon. Thanks for the advice!

Great story, but yeah, your art does need a little help. Perspective-wise as well as with human anatomy. The anatomy book I use is Human Anatomy Made Incredibly Easy by Christopher Hart. I'd also suggest picking up something for perspective. You don't seem to use a horison-line/vanishing point in your drawings. You need them. They're a pain in the butt (thank you LORD I don't have to do houses and buildings and squares for a few months) but better perspective will improve the realism factor by about fifty.

I've got you bookmarked, the story has sold me.

You're completely right. Looking back, I've done a terrible job with things like backgrounds. I'll start putting more work into perspective.

And like I said, I'm already working on fixing the way I draw bodies. Hands too.

Yeah, after Miyo got hit by the truck, the ambulance pictures kinda funny looking... ^.^;

*high pitched girl squeel* KAZEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

My main problem was that the first couple of pages were'nt compelling enough for me to continue reading. Its just that, comics being such a visual medium, I would prefer to see a more "graphics intensive" beggining to get me excited and reading through your archives.

Then again maybe thats just me...

I've been getting that a lot, so I'll be redoing the prologue as well.
