So no fighting then? Good, I can't write with two black eyes. XD

It's not that I need it desperately…but where is the colour design for The Anicent? i can't seem to find one anywhere

"Villains" thread, first post by Hero :P

Oh, right! I thought that the picture belonged to Crime-warp, didn't know that was the ancient

Before I finalize it, is there a standard design for the colosseum?

Posted at 10:02AM, Feb. 19, 2010

Well, no-one else has asked, so I just went with what I figured it would look like. I've personally gone for the inside like a dome in the same blue/green interior colour as Fuku used for the last page in HA #1, but with Roman architecture near the outer flanks and a cirkular sand arena.

Chances are nobody's seen fuku's page though. If you've already drawn the Colosseum, you might just post a picture of it here.

Posted at 1:02PM, Feb. 19, 2010

I think Mr. Hades was playing with designing the colosseum for his page too. He might have something already.

Slightly wishing that some references would have been up earlier, as some of us just got to start on it to have it finished while the iron's still hot.

Right. I kind of have to trust that this is something each artist figures out for himself though. The only thing I can do is remind everyone to check out this thread and not just go ahead and draw something which he or she knows others will draw too (which I think I did when sending out the script). While I am a control freak to some degree, I also know my limits (*cough* experience working on HU *cough*) - so I won't do everything myself. If you're uncertain about designs, post in this thread or PQ others who you know are working on the same stuff. How about someone PQs MrHades about this? He's usually quick to respond. I'd do it myself, but this might be a good exercise in responsibility here :P

(I know, I'm EVIL.)

Posted at 7:02AM, Feb. 20, 2010

Well, someone HAS posted in the thread, haven't they? XD I just can't slow down when I start drawing, even to PQ someone, or I'll lose the spark that keeps me going and become distracted by online messages on DA, DD and several other forums.

Ask yourself, what would Jesus do?

Posted at 3:02AM, Feb. 23, 2010

*sigh*

Okay, I PQ'd MrHades.

Posted at 7:02AM, Feb. 23, 2010

Sorry Abt. I was quite busy Monday-Tuesday.

And for that matter, I didn't know Jesus, so I can't answer that question. XD

Posted at 12:02AM, Feb. 24, 2010

Will get a design up asap folks!

Posted at 1:03PM, Mar. 8, 2010

Has anyone drawn a pic of what the guards are wearing in HA # 2? Even just a quick sketch with color theme would be great! I think Seb has the first appearance of a guard in the chapter (page 7, I think).

Posted at 2:03PM, Mar. 8, 2010

Yep, that I have. But I'm warning you, my sketches are very rough. Hold on…

EDIT: There, that's the only finished sketch I have, the others are going through the second stage of pencilling after the blue lines have been applied.

Posted at 3:03PM, Mar. 8, 2010

That's cool. I'll just gradient/bg color them since they're not the focus of my panels.

Posted at 7:04AM, Apr. 9, 2010

Ok, so I got impatient went ahead and inked my page and this is the design I have for the colosseum.

The stadium-y part is what I'm primarily concerned about seeing as how that's where my pages take place. Has anyone else who's drawing the stadium already drawn it? Colored it? Also, the Ancient's box seat above the stadium? Has anyone already started drawing it?

Posted at 9:04AM, Apr. 9, 2010

Shots of the collosseum which I've received so far:

b/w art by Sebastian Sandberg, colored panels by fukujinzuke. fukujinzuke's art obviously doesn't show much of the arena itself, but I thought I'd include it anyway.

Posted at 2:04PM, Apr. 9, 2010

K' Thanks. Since Fukujin's is the most finished 'think I'll rework it to look more like that.

Is there any reference material for general locations in the entire HA Universe and how they connect, or is that up to the artist's imagination? Shuffling through tons of webcomics can be a daunting task.

Posted at 5:06AM, Jun. 14, 2010

Just in case no one knows by now…

Here's a link for the free downloadable link to the font that appears in the RELIK-suit's captions (the +++Red on Black+++ ones):

Enjoy!

I don't think so. I designed the HU war room for HU: EGO and the Commander's office for HU: Fury (so both can be found on the HU forums), everything else is pretty much based on real-life locations, I think. What else could be considered general locations?

Posted at 8:06AM, Jun. 14, 2010

Not quite sure. I just wanted to know if there was an already established world that had key locations for the heroes, but I guess some of it is left up to the artist/writer. Makes sense.
