Full Comic: Orime and the Old Man
I'd consider this an 'experimental' kinda comic. I messed around a lot with lighting and advanced bonemod animation for it, and some stuff worked out better than others. For example, the lighting can definitely be kind of harsh in certain shots, even if it looks pretty good in others.
Sometimes it's too bright, sometimes it's too dark... overall, I'd avoid doing it like this next time. I think a less jarring lighting system just looks better 90% of the time. And the facial expressions on Orime might come across as funny or goofy as opposed to hot sometimes. I dunno. Up to you. I like them, though, and I'd rather do this than the really generic, meme-y ahegao faces. Those can be good every so often, but sometimes they just look way too crazy.
As for Orime herself, I wanted to make a girl with sort of 'main girl' vibes. Like the kinda girl who'd end up with the main character. I figured the brown side ponytail and cold, blue-ish eyes worked for that.
I like how the old man turned out. It's always nice when I can get a design down that has personality in it like that. He just looks like such a miserable, old bastard, it's great. Honestly sometimes making the main guy can be more fun than making the main girl. You can really mess around and make someone who's goddamn ugly. When you're making a girl it's like balancing on a tightrope trying to make someone who's hot but also looks distinct enough.
Also, I got Orime's name wrong an embarrassing number of times. Obviously I went back and fixed all of them, but the amount of times I called her 'Omire' was almost funny.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
