Hype R5.5 - Victim of Circumstance - Pg09-10by *tazsaints

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Games

~ First: [link] -- Previous: [link] -- Next: [link] ~

From here, we see how Vic ended up in Unova (he hasn't left Unova since this happened), and how he was very close to comitting suicide. I do want to take a moment to just say that at no point, do I condone suicide as a means to any end. There is always a way to solve whatever problems are at hand, no matter how tough things get. I lost a friend recently to suicide, so this part of the story does sting quite a bit for me personally. That said, good characters write themselves, and this line of thinking is fully within his character, thus going ahead with such a story point.

On another note, there IS a purpose to the short history lesson from Alpha as well; said point is just made on the next page, however. |D

Special thanks *SSTG for drawing the City BG in panel 01 of Pg09. I died trying, whereas you actually got it done. Thank you. <3

Intesresting page

*LucarioGirl4Ever Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist

Goodness~ It's amazing how you bring these pages to life. After seeing the sketch and the end product, it's just like... wow. o___o The color choices and effects are just beautiful. I especially like what you did with the desert here. Panels 3-6 look particularly stunning. I love the sunlight and the blowing sand. <3

I really enjoy how you draw Sigilyphs, by the way. I never know how to make their anatomy work, even though they are one of my favorite Pokemon. The perspective in panel 6 looks gorgeous.

Vic decides to kill himself by cooking to death in a desert. WHY? WHY, CHILD? A "terrible" decision indeed, you goon! Dx
NEXT PAGE~ *runs*

I'll admit, I love drawing deserts/sandy things. I love BGs where I can just slap colour on roughly due to it being nature and rugged and junk. XD

I used to hate BGs, and now and again, I still do, but they're getting easier the more I challenge myself with them, and it certainly makes a difference to have a decent BG in the panels than an overabundance of gradient fills! XD

And as for why he chose the desert? That way if Victor took over - he wouldn't be able to make it back anyway.

*LucarioGirl4Ever Feb 11, 2013 Hobbyist

I can imagine that deserts are definitely easier than cities or forests. Heh.

I really struggle with BGs. Finding the patience and the correct technique is hard for me.

True... But he could go in a less torturous way. Dear goodness~ At least it works out for him in the end.

Idk if it's a mistake or not but, at panel four, it says: "Logic dictated that the only ( ) to get rid of Victor..."

Great page BTW.

*tazsaints Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Oh no, that's an actual typo. XD I'll get that sorted. It happens every now and again when I do pages at ridiculous hours of the night/morning. XD

~CritexMind Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Oh, right. I'm glad to be helpful.

~LegendLord Feb 10, 2013 Student General Artist

And so, Precursor's story falls into place.

*tazsaints Feb 10, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Indeed! And now it's starting to make more sense with how Taz and Vic ended up friends when they've got absolutely nothing in common. XD
