DISQUS

Lint: #355 - A conversation on the palace balcony

  • Holly · 1 year ago
    Oh gosh...the coloring is beautiful! Well...something is different about it at any rate. Is it the hair then?
  • Annie · 1 year ago
    ooh blushing!
    maybe there really is a fang + zedwig relationship!
    eek!!
  • Falco · 1 year ago
    You did something new with the hair? It looks good, give these two kind of a silver-and-gold metallic look. The shading looks more dramatic too although I'm not sure if that's style change or just the lighting.

    More Fang and Zedwig pages, please! I'm seriously curious to see how the events from the book are going to affect things.

    ho my i love this page so much! i kees you!
  • CBX · 1 year ago
    Why do people bother to come here? Is it because of the hair or the drama?
    Jeez, people. I vote for drama! Stop with the hair discussing. It's silly! :P
  • Faticia · 1 year ago
    Colby puts a lot of work into the hair so naturally we are inclined to discuss it a lot.... pretty hair....
  • colbycheese · 1 year ago
    The Fangst and Zedrama is definitely augmented by the Hair.
  • Faticia · 1 year ago
    "Fangst and Zedrama"- lol! I love it!
  • wendy · 1 year ago
    Seconded! :D
  • Ilirien · 1 year ago
    Ha! "Fangst!" I have a new favorite word! : )
  • colbycheese · 1 year ago
    I didn't come up with Fangst... somebody else did during Fang's "Momma 'n the Graveyard" scene, although I can't remember who.
  • Holly · 1 year ago
    Why, of course not! It's just the Elvish-Hair-Drama itself! :)

    I like the way the fifth and sixth panel sort of blend into each other, with conversation flowing freely between the two. It's an interesting effect.
  • Lord Diction · 1 year ago
    i didn't even notice that it was two panels, till you said so...i had to go back and check.....i mean you could tell it was, kind of, but i did not even notice....it was done pretty well...
    keep up the great storyline, oh and the art too! lol

    ZOMG! I <3 Zedwig!

    The angst! The drama! LUV, LUV, LUV!

    Not to mention, the way your artistic abilities have evolved over the course of this story is simply astounding.

    Thank you for sharing this with us.

    I love this page! Zedwig looks so mournful and forlorn, really regretful. Especially in the sixth panel! Love the drama, and the hair looks amazing. I vote that Zedwig keeps a constant messy look from now on, he's just so adorable I just want to hug him.
  • Zypher · 1 year ago
    Ooooh, lovely angst.

    And I think i get why Zedwig won't drink the pain medicine (looking WAY back here). He's punishing himself for not stopping Fang all that time ago.

    And like everyone else, though it's driving some peoples nuts, the hair looks AWESOME. I love messy elvish hair... it's always so purty. XP
  • lizybeth · 1 year ago
    Also, given their connection, can Fang feel Zedwig's pain too?
  • HelenaHermione · 1 year ago
    Oh, it's just seems so much more different-so vibrant! No wonder we're all commenting on the hair, the new shading/coloring has brought out the contrasts and...makes for much better angst! Their faces are framed better than before so that their expressions are just bursting or at least tempered with life-seems quite sincere even with all of the drama.
  • Archeress · 1 year ago
    Your art seems to have taken on some sort of... realism that it hasn't had before. It's very dramatic. I like it!

    I'd like to pick your brain about how you color, Colby. It's so lively and charismatic.

    And by pick your brain I don't mean I want to stick my finger in your head. ;D
  • Celidah · 1 year ago
    Annie: Not in the romantic sense. Didn't you see that wonderful diagram a little while back?

    Archeress: And we are most glad that you don't want to stick your finger in her head. She needs it more than you do...no, really. ;)

    As to the comic itself? It's official. Fang needs the elven straitjacket.
  • colbycheese · 1 year ago
    I've always thought if Fang lived in modern society he'd have been heavily medicated.

    Makes me wonder how many crazed conquerors and tyrannical leaders in history just suffered from chemical imbalances.
  • Celidah · 1 year ago
    There's a lot of historians who wonder that themselves. I've run across essays and articles before that speculate on such subjects. Fascinating stuff.
  • michelle/spas · 1 year ago
    definitely...plenty of world leaders - these guys with chemical imbalances seem more likely to rise to the top - thus there is a charismatic and magnetic aspect to the chemical imbalance that makes people want to follow.

    moses too, right? or maybe moses was on some ayahuasca-like substance found only in the sinai. i love to bring that up during sabbath dinners where we're discussing moses. mostly for the shocked reactions. it's like schopenhauer said about how 'all truth passes through three stages. first it is ridiculed. second, it is violently opposed. third, it is accepted as being self-evident.'

    I might offend some people by saying this, but the reason why there aren't many modern day saints, especially those that have religious visions, is because they were schizophrenics. Nowadays when someone "hears the voice of God", they are locked up!
  • wendy · 1 year ago
    Where is this diagram?
  • ErikEtzetera · 1 year ago
    Zedwig/Fang may not be canon, but it's starting to look like fanon.
    Kawaii! *coughs*
  • Ilirien · 1 year ago
    It's not just the hair (although that's gorgeous), everything looks more vibrant; the art looks like it's taken on an extra dimension - more depth. Whatever you're doing with that new technique, keep it up! : )

    Also, I agree with Celidah. Fang needs a straitjacket and a nice padded room. We always hurt the ones we love, no? Yeesh.
  • Celidah · 1 year ago
    Eeeyeah, this is a whole new level of "hurt the ones we love." O_o
  • Holly · 1 year ago
    ...honestly. There has GOT to be an official "Hug an Elf Day". These two would never know what hit them.
  • Lord Diction · 1 year ago
    *Glomp* lol

    *insert lengthy signature here yadda yadda*
  • Amy · 1 year ago
    omg fang is gay right? he has to be. he even kicked away the elven chick in Al'bert's yarn lol.

    am i right?
    o.o
    i want to be right >.>
  • colbycheese · 1 year ago
    Fang is complicated.
  • Amy · 1 year ago
    lol i guess thats answer enough. X3
  • Zadiena · 1 year ago
    No duh he's wack
  • Anthony · 1 year ago
    You gained a new skill rank in COLORING. This is superb. Not to mention, I'm delighted with this little telepathic surprise.
  • colbycheese · 1 year ago
