Footloose!

This is the redrawn version of the first chapter of our webcomic. For the rest of the comic (In varying states of redrawing) please see our website.http://www.footloosecomic.com

Footloose! Part two

So, the redrawing process has begun on the next chapter and I thought I'd keep you up to date on it here as well. As before the rest of the comic is available at www.footloosecomic.com

Artwork!

Just loads of stuff thats kicking about my computer. Uni Projects, Tee shirt designs, tattoos, art et c.

In My Beautiful Neighbourhood.

This comic was entered for 2006's Rising stars of Manga, but obviously didn't win. It's got it's flaws, ( spot the two left hands!) but I still like it.

Hi, how are you? Our studio recently put a new site up. [url=http://www.pencily.com]pencily.com[/url] is a great source of inspiration for illustrators, animators and designers, so I hope you find it as useful as we do!

All the best,

Kyri Kyprianou

[ Posted by footloose on Feb 5th, 2007 7:53 AM ]... You're welcome! I think your art is pretty spectacular, so I'm glad you added me too! Me and Ally have known each other since primary school, we've got the same birthday, and we're pretty sure someone mashed our brains up together at some point. Ally can draw but can't be bothered, I can write but can't be bothered, so we make a pretty good team! Em.

Your tokyo pop submission turned out really nice. I did one with a group of friends this year but we don't think it will win anything. I hate the waiting part though. how long di you have to wait to see you yout submission won anything.

	[ Posted by footloose on Jan 24th, 2007 5:42 AM ]... let's see... the deadline was the end of september, and I didn't see the winners till the beginning of January, then again, I was late noticing them so I'm not sure of the actual date they went out. Presumably the viewers choice award nominees find out earlier if people are voting for them, and I guess if you've won they tell you beofre they announce it publicly. But either way I reckon the judging period must be at least two months. I love your artwork so good luck! And also good luck to anyone else whose entered the US comp! Here in the UK we've got till october so me and Alice are still in the script phase of this years entry.
	[ Posted by thatmainchick on Jan 24th, 2007 2:49 PM ]... ok cool so you entered in the uk. well good luck for next year. Honestly one of my teachers critiqued the submission we did and he didn't like it so I think we may end up loosing and i figure maybe next year we can try again. I might do it by myself this time though.
	[ Posted by footloose on Jan 24th, 2007 4:50 PM ]... much as I like teachers, they don't tend to like manga,(and they're never really happy with anything) so wait and see!

[ Posted by spookychan on Jan 23rd, 2007 2:39 PM ]...

I did the same to my page as well. It's nice having pictures up now. :)

[ Posted by blix on Jan 18th, 2007 6:13 PM ]...

O_o;;; but if i ever do find the entries, i'll send you a link. ^^ i would really love the vote. [grrrrrr I WANT IN!] I may check the tpop forum and see if anything is written. ^^

Always nice to know another sandman fan :D

Thanks for the accept. ^_^ I'm only currently reading Footloose. I'll have to get back to you on a comment. :D Though so far in 3 pages, I'm already laughing at the mom. (LOL)

Oh, and Happy New Year! :)

[ Posted by footloose on Jan 2nd, 2007 5:35 AM ]... The comic is under a redraw as well as updating new pages at the mo, so there's a large section in the middle that I can no longer stand to look at... I might make it my news years resolution, to try and finish every page i'm not happy with by the end of this year...

[ Posted by BrokenMinds on Jan 1st, 2007 1:44 PM ]...

Howdy, thanks for the acepting my add request.

Swing by and check out out my stuff on DD ^.^

Have a good one!

I see your change of approach on the face shading in the two newest page. I think it works much better to your advantage. Gray tone is easier to control and easier on the eyes for your work. :) If you think it's too harsh, (I don't find it harsh) you can adjust it to be lighter. Sometimes, you don't even need it. XD

[ Posted by footloose on Dec 22nd, 2006 8:07 AM ]... Hmm, looked at it online and it definately looks better. I think it just looked a bit harsh in photoshop because I wasn't used to it. Thanks for everything!

[ Posted by Emmavieceli on Dec 18th, 2006 3:06 PM ]...

Oh totally. Definately reward enough. ^_^
And I did indeed used to go a lot! I'm so lazy these days - must make it there again. How cool- we've no doubt met at some point then! ^_^

[ Posted by Emmavieceli on Dec 14th, 2006 8:37 AM ]...

Haha- that's sweet, but don't feel too jealous. Sweatdrop isn't a job, it's a hobby. A lot of people are surprised to learn that none of us get paid for the work we do in Sweatdrop the comic group. We do it in our spare time because we love it. It's all about the comics lurve! A few of us are professional artists outside of sweatdrop and will try and use Sweatdrop's name and include SD artists where we can to help promote the group - but yep - SD is not a professional, money making thing. ^_^

[ Posted by footloose on Dec 17th, 2006 2:41 PM ]... Ah yes, but I'd say being so well known in the UK anime scene was reward enough! Are you a frequenter of the London Anime Club? I have a feeling I may have been introduced to you once by someone there, but I don't really remember.

[ Posted by Emmavieceli on Dec 13th, 2006 4:02 AM ]...

2 pages every thursday? Wow - well done you!
I'll be sure to check out your webcomic soon. Thanks very much for the add. Considering your careful friend picking (sensible by the way!), I'm very honoured. ^_^

[ Posted by mayshing on Dec 12th, 2006 9:50 PM ]...

You'll have alot of work ahead of you, best of luck in that. X3

[ Posted by Natsuki on Dec 9th, 2006 10:36 AM ]...

Whah! Thank you so much for the comment~!!

But I think your hands looks beautiful~!! Mines kinda look funky every once in awhile~! Anyways, Thank you~!

._.b I usually mean to say something good about other's work when I first started my review. But... the way you did the tones really strikes me, the space between your basic tone shading on the character's face are too big. You need to either remove it, or use one that has smaller dots, and more lines. Or just simply use gray scale. (which you are pretty good at using.)
Other wise it's really hard for me to get into your comic looking at it. Spoken in all honesty, not meant to be harsh, you paid good efford in your work, I can see that.

Tone is hard to figure out. I'm still observing for it's usage myself.
