that is frighteningly awesome and yet so much so i want to look away but cant

that's the effect/feeling I was going for... pretty and scary at the same time

exactly right.

Oooo creepy. At this point I would be sprinting for the exit, probably only to be attacked from behind by something. Lol.

Outstanding! Did you post a higher-rez image anywhere? It looks like it would merit it. :)

there is a hi-res version, but I'm keeping those for printing and when I sell the whole comic on disc. only the smaller low-res versions get posted online ;)

I really like this one...how do you get that glittery effect?

I did it in paint shop pro, but you can do the same in photoshop or something similar.

1) First do all the background colors that go underneath it.

2) then a new layer - hard light- at somewhere around 80-90% opacity.

3) then use a brush with a step of 100 percent (might be called something other than step depending on the program you use... its the spacing between each brush mark) of a pastel color (I used pink).

4) make sure the brush has very soft/blurry edges. (a low number of "hardness")

5) draw on the "glitter". vary the size of the brush, but keep the same spacing/step.

Hey, thanks alot! I'm going to have to try this technique out!

@_@ I cant look away from the eyes...and the teeth, you get the urge to run but also stare at it.

its meant to have that hypnotic effect (it is 'illusion' afteral). if it does, then I did my work right.

yes...I think I'm gonna background this @_@...it commands me to

Is this a game of "count the Zibris"...?

Terrific. And yes, I am using the same meaning as Terry Pratchett.

yes, there are multiple Zibri's. They're all really the same person who's been fractured. The boy could use years and years and years of therapy.

So THAT’S what Illusyon looks like. It...reminds me of the voice actor of Bloodeleven from Gun Katana.

[*It’s a Japanese horror/survival game. It’s unlikely you’ve heard of it, but I see the multiple eyes and that frightening toothy smile there and I can remember the voice clips. The link for it is here:

But getting back on topic...that creature...looks seriously frightening. For one, the multitude of eyes it has, two the absolutely hellish grin it’s possessed by, and the noticeable third: It’s huge in size and tale rthan the other two on the page. It looks like underneath all of them there should be a larger body that just can’t be shown due to the sheer size of it.

I know there are two other characters present in the picture right here to the left and right sides of him, but...honestly, what REALLY grabs the viewer’s attention here?
Mind you, this picture stand out in all the pages as it’s in possession of that “shock value” that the others didn’t have this much of.

Which reminds me, I am trying to keep up. I just haven’t commented yet as I haven’t started from page 1 and worked my way up. The only time I’ve seen the original comic was a year ago when you were over at Ookami Shihan’s apartment for Halloween. [Yes. I can still remember. ] That and commenting on each individual panel takes a bit of time, even for me. [Not that I CAN’T do it. It just takes time.]


Still this is...an amazing...if partially disturbing pictue.
But that’s what makes it so amazing now doesn’t it? x)

you don't have to comment on them all, as most are moved off FA and onto VCL (which doesn't have a comment system). all 1-84 pages are at this link: http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Si.....-Noir/Volcano/

and would you believe that's not even the monster's true face? its a mask. underneath is a very hideous face, all gooey and pink with many MORE pairs of eyes and a few more rows of teeth. It's so ugly I've never been able to finish a drawing of it.

I designed the creature back in 2000... and would you believe, of all things, it was inspired by Digimon? (it has garurmon's backlegs, haha)

Yip! O.O *hides*

is a very cool design with both dark and light elements to it. just read your comic and is rather interesting, looking forward to reading more. nice work
