Aww that;s so sweet! I love the concept, Neko!

I love Jack in your style! :D And in general I just love this lil comic ^_^ I can't wait to see if you do more of her and Jack

I might! Really depends on the questions I get, and it'd be awesome if a Jack RPer came in too, so I interact with him, as well as the other Guardians.

I kinda do want to go farther with Jack, but I'm thinking my followers might dislike that, making it too predictable to have an OC with the main character.

awww soooo cute.

Your style made the interaction between Jack Frost and Mother Nature even more adorable :D

Thanks! But she's not Mother Nature, she's just the spirit of fall, like how jack is the spirit of winter.

That is a totally different way of looking at it. Thank you for the new view :)

This is an absolutely beautiful set of storyboards. Are you looking to do animation, Neko? You'd be great for it. <3

I actually recently decided I might enjoy doing story boarding as a career, so some of my ask amber stuff will be practice for it, since I usually only draw one image (though ill do those too, all well as smaller amounts of images rather then this many). So one thing I'm practicing is messy speed, which is what you're supposed to do, but I put more detail on my stuff just cause its for a blog and not a movie. I'm not looking to directly animate though.

I've thought about doing storyboards as well, but god, am I out of practice for it. Getting paid $200-400 a PANEL sounds pretty awesome though. Advertising or Cinema, take your pick. ;) Honestly, I think these are worth using in your portfolio as-is. I've seen professional story-boarding work that's less clean, and you do better and cleaner work than a lot of college Seniors.

I actually didn't know how much it gets paid, they don't give you an amount online. I do know it really depends on who you're working for, something big like Disney/Dreamworks you'd get paid pretty darn well, while with others it'll be regular pay, or in some cases, almost free, but when you first start out, sometimes it's worth doing a few of those to get practice and your portfolio.

I'm not really good at it yet, but this is my first one, and it is practice, so I wouldn't do as many panels as a proffesional, meaning there'd be less detail then what a real boar would have. I need to learn camera angles and the like.

Well one of the points of doing storyboards is being able to do clear work that's messy and fast. I've seen some storyboards that look really awful art wise, but the poses and details are amazing. So art wise I -might- be better (I don't think so though lol), but for storyboarding skills, I still have a lot to learn! And can be tough to learn on your own. The storyboards I do for my blog, I take extra time on them to make them nice for followers, like the colouring, etc.

You're very correct, but there's also something to be said for demanding more professional rates. When you price yourself appropriately, as long as your portfolio shows you can do the work, you're taken seriously. It's also better to price yourself higher because you can always come down "for the opportunity" or "because I'm really excited about this project and I love what you do"; it's harder to get a client to pay more after you've already quoted them a low price. ;) Those figures were from an instructor of mine who does storyboard work for advertising, and from someone who works in Hollywood doing storyboards for movies. They can pay as low as $100 per but when you're doing around 15-24 for a single scene, that number doesn't seem so low.

Definitely, you want to find the balance between description and speed of completion. As for the shots and compositions, Framed Ink is a great book to read. It's from a movie storyboard-artist's point of view, which is something to keep in mind, though the points are universal: http://www.amazon.com/Framed-Ink-Dr...../dp/1933492953

Yeah teaching yourself can definitely be tough sometimes. I'm trying to think of places that might be good to point you to, but I know you can find the good ones via google-searching, as that's how I've found them. I'll try and run through my bookmarks between today and tomorrow. If I find anything that might be helpful, I'll send it your way. I may even have some informative photocopies from college classes.

Thanks so much for the info!

Thanks!

This is just gorgeous, I really love the expressions. The turn around is also very impressive, it can be very tricky to pull that off with a long haired characters without it looking stiff. Well done~

Thanks so much! That means a lot c:
