Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
I'm afraid I'll have to accept, you mad thing you.
Also, as promised, a page:
Sophie can see forever.
Hate this, blablabla it gets the point across so it's not too bad. The last two panels are laughably bad, though. It's supposed to be Sophie staring at something with a scared/shocked look on her face and Alain turning is head to see what she's looking at.
Next four pages are boring as hell but after those we start getting into the good bits of the story. I'm mainly trying to set the mood and give you guys some info on Alain and his closest friends' personalities.
Oh, dear sir, never have I received such a scandalous proposition.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Hmm. Actually, for once, I'm going to criticise you - in the very last panel, it doesn't really look like Alain is turning his head; he seems to be looking in the same direction as in the previous panel, so yeah. I mean, relative to the direction Sophie seems to be facing...
I still love this though. In fact, I'm probably in the third stage of love by now.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
and awww that last bit of your comment was so cute ;w;
While we wait till, erm, Saturday, why don't you guys tell me why you like the comic and what I could do artistically speaking to make it better? Story-wise, I've got it written out so I won't be changing it much. I think you'll like the twists, though.
I know, I got really annoyed at that but I didn't really want to re-do the whole page right now. I'll probably re-do that one panel sometime to make it look like he's actually turning his head and not just sort of moving his eyes about.

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
What I like about it? It's early in the morning and I'm tired, so don't expect this to be coherent:
The use of black and white; I find using one pencil to draw a picture difficult and I can use different shades of grey, but your use of black and white is really good.
The characters all look different and can easily be told apart. The guys also all look like guys, which is very unusual in a comic.
Some of the detail in the panels is really, really fantastic; I'm thinking of most of the background scenes here, while others are simplistic, and the balance is just right to keep it interesting, but not so it's crowded.
And Donald <3

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Yay update~
I love crying!Alain, though it looks like his make-up is running. Then in the fourth panel, it looks like he's feeling her ass like every in-the-closet gay man would, and she has a o_o face because he's feeling said ass, and he's o_o because he realized she noticed.
Which kind of makes it much funnier. XP

Erm, two updates tomorrow probably since I spent all of today studying with a friend but MEANWHILE HAVE THESE:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iOLA2tLOlD8
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PfHij9kbo_0
I you can guess where any of the soundclips are from you're my friend.
And yeah Henry needs a much higher-pitched, sing-song voice but the only person that sort of sounds like what I imagine him to sound like is Mr. Humphries from Are You Being Served? and that's a little too gay :v

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Haha, man, that video is super old but I still find it cute ;w;
And errrm sorry you guys but I had no motivation to ink the next page because it looks worse than usual since there's a lot of backgrounds and perspective and and and I'll probably be updating tomorrow.
You should totally draw pictures of my fags because I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I totally love making unimportant and mundane shit up for my characters, do other people ever do this? For example, I know every one of my character's favourite singers, I've planned out Alain's horrible wedding night (for which he mentally prepared himself for by watching Emmanuelle. Yes, not even proper porn, but Emmanuelle. And right after he and Sophie were done he went to throw up in the bathroom ): ), I've imagined a load of back-story for Henry which never gets mentioned (same for Donald) and I know which drugs Sophie's supposed to be taking.
I'm a boring nerd.
Also check dis out: OLD PAGES YEEAAAH don't worry, no spoilers because this scene doesn't happen again in the new version. well maybe very slight spoilers but you'll have forgotten them by the time it's mentioned. and thin!donald lol:

Awww yeah, I love Ivan. He's one smooth muthafucka. He's less of an asshole in the new version though, haha.
Shit, I can't believe I already had sixty pages. So much time... wasted...

alain looks like a sad retard in the last panel ):
and yeah in case you'd forgotten, he'd gotten his hand stabbed earlier :v
Suprise! Two pages in a day!
Well, it's not really a good surprise. I guess it's a surprise like learning you have terminal eyeball cancer.
But still!
We are DONE with the emo angsting! (for now) And guess who's baaaack.
Also, for your viewing, er, pleasure, have some passports!

No, I don't know why they're so tiny and no, Ι can't do anything about it.
But hey, plenty of cool useless information!

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Aww, the passports are so great. I love Donald's signature XD I like all the signatures, actually. And non-crazy Sophie. Woah Ivan was born in Moscow, is a French citezen and has a UK passport. Love it.
All of Alain's faces in the first page are funny. The last one especially, but the one with him stroking his hand is adorable. Crazy!Sophie is cool, too.
I don't understand the background in the Alain's kid's panel with all the diagonal lines, but it's okay; it's late and I don't understand many things.
Aww; is Alain normally left-handed, or is he being a leftie for the day while his hand mends?

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Haha, I actually had all the signatures written out porperly, but when I scanned them in I somehow managed to erase Donald's family name so I had to write it in with the old tablet :v
I sort of suppose Alain's trying to manage with is left hand today, since he's usually right-handed. He'll just write down wobbly A's and B's and not bother with comments or fixing their mistakes (their tests are probably all crinkled and wrinkly from yesterday anyway).

Re: The Five Stages of Love - updates Saturday and Sunday
Crazy!Sophie is scary... And awesome.. But mostly scary...
I love the details on... Well... Everything. Like, how you have these stripe-things at the corner of panels to add effect, and Alain's living room/whereevertheyreeatingdinnerin room, and the school bricks, and the swirly things in the back when Sophie was dumping out papers.
... Poor Alain. His hand is bleeding all over the place.
AND IS THAT DONALD TALKING IN THE LAST PANEL
I am still stalking.

For those who guessed Donald: YASE LOL HOW'D YOU KNOW
But he's like 'hi and bye'. He'll be back later though.
New character in two pages!
also yeah I've decided that Alain's left-handed now because that's how I roll.
ps: since I don't know whether you'll get a closer look at the posters alain's got over his board, from left to right: Segoléne Royal (I'm guessing Alain voted for her), Serge Gainsbourg and Charles De Gaule.
He's got more people but those are the ones ovet the board :v
