YES.
FINALLY MADE IT.

I promised it a long while back and finally it's done.

This is the test page for my upcoming comic, Africa! :D
I wanted to make something to introduce the two main characters, Africa and Chui, and at the same time, I wanted to experiment perspectives, feline anatomy in perspective, shadows, and ways to draw grass. Drawing grass traditionally is a challenge. SERIOUSLY.

Yeah, Chui is a jerk. No, he's not really in love with Africa. He's just a jerk :P

Anyway...

NO, this is not the first page of the comic, nor any of the pages that are to come.
NO, this is not a scene from the comic, even if something similar to this will happen.
NO, there won't be a next page anytime soon. I'll be posting more artworks of Africa for sure, but this test page is meaningful to itself. I might be making another page if I feel the need to change stuff, but otherwise, this is it.

Q:Arven! Arven! When is the comic going to start?
A: Please refer to my FAQ section, question 4-8.). Thank you!



So, what do you think of this page?^^ I wanted to do something similar if not identical to Chakra in terms of layout, but

How do you like the anatomies?
How do you like the perspectives?
How do you like the colours?
How do you like the grass done by pen?
How do you like the font used?
How do you like the overall page?

If you could post critique, that'd be great! And if you have tips on how to draw grass the traditional way, please share! <3 I want to learn :D

Also, are you able to tell Africa apart from Chui? That's very important for me! :)

Oh, one more thing! Okay, I thought this didn't need clearing, but
Africa and Chui are LEOPARDS. Not jaguars, not cheetahs.
I believed this was clear enough from the pictures, but apparently it isn't^^;
I keep receiving comments saying: "Cheetahs aren't that bulky!" or "Cheetahs have different spots!"
Of course they do^^; Maybe that should suggest you that these two aren't cheetahs?^^;

Well, enjoy^^
