Swallowtail coverby ~Alizel

Digital Art / Drawings / Illustrations / Conceptual

48-page comic I started writing during the summer of '09 while I was in Taiwan, sitting at my dad's in the 100F heat and being bored out of my sanity.
I just pitched it to contest, but it's also a prologue to something longer I am now writing.
... I love comics!!!!! O.O

Cover was painted in PS. I would like to hear critique, and please leave crit here on the cover, just to keep everything neat. Maybe I'm a neat freak.

_________
EDIT- Uploaded again after some minor refinements. I tweaked the bg tone, orange saturation, painted in some rim lights, and found a better title font.

"*Alizel's art is wonderful, especially the comics she does! The latest one she posted, Swallowtail, took my breath away the moment I saw it in my messages! The comic starts here with the Swallowtail cover." ( Suggested by ~LadyYoko and Featured by `majnouna )

Thanks! Glad you liked it. It's actually really old now and I don't care for it so much anymore. I'm working on some newer stories though, which will likely be for sale, and I'm sure they'll be even better than this!

~Xepher-Bozu Feb 15, 2011

You're Welcome.
Awesome! I will be looking forward to them

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
