Realistic Kassandra and Friends

Here's another approach: paint every panel, a more realistic Saltwater Witch for the next chapters. This is the opening Chapter 13 panel, Kassandra having a serious discussion with Jill and Nicole (not pictured--she's straight on, view over Kassandra's shoulder in the second panel). Takes a lot longer to paint one--and consequently a lot longer to paint an entire chapter of panels, but with painting I have many more advantages--for one I can have the characters be far more expressive, a hint of a smile, a huge range of emotion, not just happy, sad, enraged, determined, etc. Downside is that it could take me six months to complete a chapter.

Lore This type of drawing is certainly more stunning than the stylized figures. I can understand however that it takes tons of time and effort. :)

Chris Howard I agree, but it's worth it, and this style is what I'm going with for the comic. Here's the full first page with the second panel and this panel with Jill and Kassandra updated:

Lore The comic looks great, and yes, I have to say that this style brings out the best in it. It is my favorite of the ones you have tried so far. :)
