UsakoMan

Well it's time for another log entry and more info on what I've been working on. Besides continuing the Farewell Chun Li story, and also finally finding the time to draw that oh-so-promised 'Usako VS Lilith' pic, I finally drew the first few pages of the Alliance, which will hopefully be seen later this week. Trying to keep a more manga feel, I drew the 'Chapter 1' pin-up page, as well as Intro-page or whatever it's called that most anime have that have pics of the characters in the story and a brief summary of what's going on so far. As already mentioned a guy I know at work will do the actual 'manga volume cover' and Kitty will use her 1337 comp skills to color it. I'll probably start actual story-pages next week.

For actual chapters I already have the first 2 chapters in my head (and saved on my comp) and I'm already going through with the third chapter. It's kind of a funny process to get things approved. First I run it over with my wife, and she gives the general ok or 'that sounds kinda dumb'. Then I run it over with Jenni, the US comic buff for her input. Then I go to Raven, who is the only other character in the story so far for her input as well as making sure Raven Akechi's portrayal is ok, you know, the whole 'I'd never say that/act like that' kinda thing. Of course, once the other characters like Jenni, Benja and Brian are introduced they'll go through the same thing. Finally I run it over with the guy at work, who looks at things more objectively and realistically and tell me if the general idea 'works' or not.

That sums it up for now. I'll try to draw more character sketches of some of the later characters too. Let's hope this series is as loved as the VS series. Since the Alliance will be non-hentai, I'm also considering putting it up on DeviantArt. What do you think?
