Page 101 is in Black and White

Unfortunately I could only get my latest web-comic page of Zheph Skyre uploaded in black and white for today. It seems that my scanner isn't working anymore and I have to rely on certain other means to get my page done. Also, this latest page has a lot of detail on it. If anyone complains about certain images in comics lacking a background it may be because the artists don't want to draw all of that detail all of the time, and I completely understand.

This page is another with Vanessa and her sisters, but finally Vanessa has had enough of them.

Page 47 In Black and White, Idea, & Store Updates

Here's page 47 of the Zheph Skyre web comic. Again, this has not been colored in due to the hectic holiday season and the fact that I had to finish the previous few pages late. I do not believe that this page should take too long to finish and color in, but hopefully I can get it done as soon as possible.

I was given an idea to make a Youtube video using the pages from my web comic. I can easily voice over for every single character and move the frames of the comic due to the specific action. It probably will take a while before I can get around to that, and I would have to make a video for one chapter at a time. Since there is only one chapter finished, I would only be able to create one video.

My store will have more items available for sale. There will be mugs, magnets, and note cards for sale with my artwork printed on them. I'm hoping to have a wider selection in my store with some cheaper items available. I can understand how most people don't wish to spend too much money at times.

Vanessa

This is a sketch of Princess Vanessa Aweon, the only friend Zheph has at the beginning of my story. They may become lovers later on, but not everything will be smoothly like every fairy tale you ever heard of.

Vanessa is a 17 year old girl who has introduced the "goth" style to Corthon. Like Zheph, she is mocked for her chosen appearance, but since she is a princess she is still regarded as royalty. She is one of three daughters to the King and Queen. The rest of her family dress as royalty do. Her father and her sisters, Marylynne and Cordelia, all act like snobbish royalty. Her mother is the only one who treats her with respect.

Vanessa met Zheph as her family marched in a parade when she was eight and Zheph was seven. They found each others' odd appearance interesting. From then on, Zheph sneaks up to her tower in the castle ever night.

Vanessa likes to write poetry and music. She is able to sing her sad songs, but rarely does so out of embarrassment.

Vanessa likes to practice fencing, in fact she is better at fighting all around than Zheph is, even though Zheph has been fighting off thugs and the royal guards daily. She was able to study fencing under an older servant girl who she was very close to, but had disappeared when Vanessa was 16. Her father is suspected for her disappearance.

Vanessa, unlike Zheph, believe in magic and mystical creatures even though neither one of them have ever seen proof. The only proof Vanessa has to offer in the existence of magic is her mysterious dreams of events that have yet to come that always come true...
