As you can see, page two is up! This was only possible because I was working on page 1 and two at the same time. As you can read, page two, like all of Kokoro No Kinu’s chapters, is the title page, where I try to do a little better art, and color it.
For those of you that do not know, I am bad at digital coloring… at least in my own opinion. I just cannot seem to get the hang of it for whatever reason. It’s weird because I am able to color by hand, using pencils, pens etc much better than I can with digital, and I’m not sure why. I was hoping when I got my graphics tablet that would change, but so far… not really.
Still, I’m relatively proud of this page. Of course if you haven’t guessed, because I know the page is the first thing you saw no matter what, This is an homage to an old childhood movie I used to watch, Cats Don’t Dance. This page is an homage to the villain’s song in it, go watch it if you haven’t. It’s fun, and is a pretty great analogy for the prejudice of minorities during the “golden age” of cinema, and it’s for kids, so bring them too!
I’m trying to do Inktober this year, and my pages are going to be included in my “submissions” for Inktober. Of course not every submission is going to be a page, so hopefully I’m going to try and do some different sketches in my downtime to keep up. I think I’m also going to create a separate Inktober page to show off the sketches and doodles I do for the month, hopefully I won’t have many because of all the pages I’m going to do… anyone believe that? No? Neither did I… So hopefully there will be enough to warrent a special little page for them.
Anyway, on to the page. I usually have two versions, a colored and grey-scaled one, and today is no exception!
