[Comic] The Five Stages of Love - UPDATES LIKE ONCE A WEEK AT BEST UGGH

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Oh, right. XD
Although in the third one, it kinda looks like he's running it under the tap... people don't tend to do that with lighters. Iunno.
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Expect the mug to show up often because there's an insane amount of coffee in this story.

Hate everything on this page except Alain's face in panel one.
Panel three is uite possibly the worst thing I've ever drawn.
THE ADVENTURES OF DONALD, PIG-PERSON
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

~coffee makes the world go round~
That mug should totally have a smily face on. : )

And I really love how all your characters have different faces. You make them so individual!

Seconded. :D

I'm loving this more each week. :3
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

lol @ baguettes and frogs legs XD

Also... I love how Alain's face changes in panels 2 and 4; the "hmph" is perfect and then he's all *cradlemug* again and thoughtful and I hope there are more scenes with these two because they're really great, with Alain being so poper and Donald being so... not.

The final panel is also great; it can't be easy drawing someone talking with a cigarette in thier mouths, and I really like the details on and around the belt with his belly for some reason :3
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

I sense gayness and awesomesauce.

Love the expressions. And the chem teacher. And coffee.

*stalks thread*

I'm trying to improve my Scottish-accent-writing abilities. Donald's from Aberdeen so I'm also trying to put in Abderdonian slang because I can't convey the accent itself properly.
Quine = lass, young girl, by the by.

And yeah Donald sees right through Alain's shit :v
NEW CHARACTER MENTIONED !!
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Hoohoo, Donald looks even better now! Particularly in the first panel. Well, except for the, you know, thing he's doing. But still.

Also, in the second panel it looks like he's picking his nose.
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

DONALD FANCLUB. HANDS UP WHO WANTS TO JOIN?
Also, loved the backgrounds in this one.

OMG WE CAN HAS IVAN NOW?
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

I WANT TO JOIN THE DONALD FANCLUB. *RAISES HAND*
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

I TOO WANT TO JOIN THE DONALD FANCLUB. *RAISES BOTH HANDS*
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Aww, Alain is in so much denial, it's adorable <3 Seconded on the loving of the backgrounds here; the window and lab in the second and last panel look simple, but really good.
I'm really, really looking forward to more of this~
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

DOUBLE UPDATE because i can

page9copyzx9.jpg

NEW CHARACTER ARRIVAL
Expect him in like 15 pages, we're gonna meet Alain's family first.

Also if you can't tell (you probably can't), Donald is dumping his fag end in the mug (Alain washes it every day so no one cares) and those things behind Alain in the last panel are a fire-extinguisher and an anti-fire blanket.

Last panel Alain is all 'DONAAALD DONT MAKE JOKES ABOUT MY SEXUAL ORIENTATION PLEASE AND SCREW YOU'

page10copyxe8.jpg

Bufty = poof, in Scottish slang. Might be used in other parts of the United Kingdom, I'm not sure.

END OF PROLOGUE WOOHOO

Alain lives in a river in Egypt.

:D:D:D Awesome as always.

The fire blanket and extinguisher make me smile. :) So does Alain's face. In that panel. Ah hell, always. XP

And you make me love Donald all the more with every update. <3

EDIT: Alexi has just realized Donald was holding a test tube in his first page. Ahahaha.

Whut, really? *goes to check*
Oh yes. So it was.

Anyway, yay for the double update. Loved these pages, although a few of the panels seemed a little... lopsided, somehow.

So... no Ivan, huh? but we get whatshisface... Henry, was it? instead, so that's OK.
And we get to meet the crazy lady now! ~
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Hehe, I love Alain's *unamused* face in the last panle of the first one X3
Yeah, I got the dumping fagend in mug thing; that and him dumping ashes in the sink earlier is great, he's so "I care not for lab safety/hygine".

And I love the stretch in the last panel for some reason. I guess I find streches really hard to draw, but it looks really good. X3

Does a double update now mean nothing tomorrow?
And does chapter 1 get its own cover?
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Could, by any chance tell me what the note says on the fire extinguisher? It seems to be made of awesome or some similar material.
 
Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday

Thanks a lot, everyone! I really do like it when you comment.

Indeed. Brace ur selves.

Well, I actually double update because I thought I wouldn't be there all week-end and then the forums went down so erm :v
And no, I've decided on plain white covers with black writing on them for the chapters. It's good because it gives me more time to draw the actual pages and I think the brisk separation between chapters is quite nice, sort of like what you'd see in a film.

Best damn page.

page11copyeq8.jpg

OMINOUS PERSPECTIVE
Also, it's Roland! Alain's kid, isn't he cute?
And yes, Alain did manage to have... *shudder* ...heterosexual sex (!!).

Oh and that car behind them in one of the last panels is supposed to be Alain's car, a 1998 Volkswagen Passat. woohoo

And that font means they're speaking French.
