This is the setting that took me forever. I had to follow so many curve lines and straight lines. Using grids and all sorts of things to attempt and get this scene correct. This thing was a nightmare haha. But it came out far better than I expected. Let's hope I pick up on the tips mlai is giving me. As proud of this picture as I am, you all deserve better and I can do better. I just got to focus.
On a funny note I went back to the original comic I made in school of this to compare to the backgrounds I drew in it. Aside from some spires in the window (same scene as page 3) I never drew a single image of Atlantis in the whole comic. *beats self for not practicing this stuff more growing up*
usedbooks: I don't think Fenny has to worry too much about those kinds of actions in Atlantis. More on that as the story progresses ~_^
DAJB: Okay, this kinda kicked me a bit. I wanted them to kinda slide to a hault at the bottom. The scene didn't completely fit well (in the panel), and I didn't think I drew them so they would look like they slid a bit. If anyone else looks like they are sliding too, that is a mistake =P
Greyman: HAH slidewalks. I will officially dub them that and add that line into an upcoming scene ^_^ The purple blobs thingies should look more like glowing purple light thingies floating around (fairies?) or something visually similar. I'll color them different in the future pages to make them seem less blobby. And Atlantis isn't domed off. I just didn't render the clouds in fully on the last page. This should give you a much better view of Atlantis.
Tantz Aerine: Despite the advanced technology and such the feel I was hoping to conjure up is a more magical fantasy feel. Sci fi is cool too. I'm glad you feel something for it =P
Hero: Um, no spoilers for you! XD Much more Atlantis info to come this issue. Not all of it. But lots.
kyupol: No I didn't research Atlantis you silly. :P I wanted to invent my take on it. However, with the info I turned up with the google search you gave me I could easily tie some things together anyway. I can't say what all I could tie together. There are hints in issue 2 though. Otherwise you gotta wait till I reveal more info.
mlai: Well they were mostly walking around then slid. But I won't lie, the main reason I didn't make her say that is 'cause I simply didn't think about it. That link has what would appear to be simple structures at 1st glance. It looks so easy yet I can dissect your most detailed fight scenes and apply more from them than I can a simple "looking" page as what you just gave me. I will see what I can come up with to somewhat emulate that kind of look in the buildings. I know you'll keep me on my toes as well. I have to thank you again for being so patient with me. My comic would not have become so much more visually attractive without your fantastic and unbiased input. I know I'm not using the cintiq to it's fullest as well. I'm just an amateur schmuck that decided to buy that instead of a big tv. Since I'd rather just watch my story come to life than all the reality shows on… ugh , now you got me doing small talk in my comment area! =x
trevoramueller: Woohoo. Emotions with faces, body languages, and scenes in general are very important to me.
albone: I hope this is enough view of it. There is still more to come yet but this is the broadest view you will get to see.
