Rikku Sketches

Just some sketches of Rikku.

Pulse v1, Chapter 2 "Filled with Power" (2000)

The second chapter of the original Pulse.  There's a lot of differences here.

In here Annie's bust is continuously growing, and she doesn't reach her full size at once.  The con of that is that unless you plan to make someone really big, or grow really slowly, it's not always clear when to stop.  Annie's ...

Pulse 472 + PSDs + WIPs

The end of chapter 36 "Iron Maiden".

I thought the ending needed a wrap up to make this seem like a more well-earned win for Annie.  Her actual win wasn't just that she took advantage of a assist, it's that she actually make solution herself even if doesn't know it.

Thomas, knowing a version of the future, fo...

Pulse 472 WIP 2

Still a lot of Thomas left, and a lot of little things before color.  It's strange to have two panels where you are looking at the back of people, but I thought that was a better ending transition.

Materia Enhanced V, page 5 WIP 3

In my original plan, you wouldn't have seen Yuffie's 15 minute trips out.  You would have just seen Rikku's trips and then everything else would be left to your imagination.  But I thought that was probably unfair.

I wanted to make it clear that unlike Rikku, Yuffie had no guilt in using the materia on unsuspe...

Pulse 472 WIP 1

Last page of the chapter.  I needed to wrap this up, and felt like Annie would wish she had solved it completely by herself-- and that Thomas's comment is meant to suggest she did.  Because he's seen a version of the future he as the Silver Dragon was trying to solve this problem for her for some reason.  Knowi...

Annie Checkered Bikini Jacket Sketch

If any of these sketches interest anyone say something.  These may or may not be completed eventually.

Eve Sketches

Two Eve sketches.

For the one on the left, I was trying to drawn Eve in a more modern anime way.  While I wasn't trying to specifically imitate anyone exactly, and the normal Eve isn't a normal anime likeness.  I thought I'd give it a blind shot.  I made her jaw more of an oval, a little line for a nose, ...

Pulse v1, Chapter 1 "Side-Effects" (1999-2000)

I figure I should get to this eventually.  The original Pulse, made off and on between the year 1999 and 2009, when I then decided to reboot it into the modern Pulse comic (after first considering doing the comic "Vast Cosmos").

This is the first chapter.  At the time, I didn't post pages weekly, I posted an e...

Pulse 471 + PSDs + WIPs

Finally Annie shows off her upgraded suit.  We first saw Tabitha's upgraded suit when Zoe shapeshifted into her back on page 120, and Tabitha completely upgraded her suit back on page 328.  So it's taken Annie an extra 143 pages.

I've tried to be really careful not to ever show Annie in her upgraded suit so th...

Rikku

Trying to do something with non-cell shading.

Pulse 471 WIP 5

Okay, almost done.  Maybe just need to add dialog.

Pulse 471 WIP 4

This is late, so these WIPs are going out to everyone.  There's just a little left to draw and ink, but I've had several really busy days, and probably won't be able to work on this again until Saturday night or later.

It needs cleaned up (to zoom in and fix little spots of white in the inks and shadows layers), fi...

Pulse 471 WIP 3

Not sure which left hand position in the last panel.  Going to try to make panel six as dark as possible so it isn't as obvious the suit upgraded-- or at least make it really dramatic.

Pulse 471 WIP 2

After re-installing the part, Annie's suit upgrades.  One more page to this chapter.

Sam Kelly

Sam from Maximum Max.

Pulse 470 + PSDs + WIPs

In my original plan, there was going to be a page with them waiting, and they'd start kissing and then look annoyed when it rebuilt the suit faster than they expected.  I had part of that with the one panel and them removed it thinking I needed more of a continuous process considering it was already so many panels with a...

Pulse 470 WIP 3

A lot still to do.

Tifa Bikini

I'm still not sure which pictures go better using cell-shading and which are better with smooth brush shading (like this one).

Sketch Dump

Some sketches-  Any thoughts welcome.

• Tifa in a bikini.  It might just need shading and color.
• Music Eve.  Just wanted to do a cute Eve picture.
• Yuna.  I thought I'd try to draw Yuna from the Final Fantasy games, it's been a w...

Pulse 470 WIP 2

Annie and Thomas wait for the suit to be reassembled.  Not sure about the third panel with Annie and Thomas kissing.  I'm worried once they started they wouldn't quickly stop, and both wouldn't notice the suit being done, and also wouldn't be eating in the next panel.

I also wonder if I made enough room in the...

Xom Bunnygirl

This sketch has been sitting around needing to be finished for a while.  I didn't draw her nearly busty enough in the sketch.

She's from some the future, so I thought a bunnygirl outfit might be different at that point, with different colors and a little different style.

Materia Enhanced V, page 4

I changed around the dialog a bit, I think it doesn't quite fit as well as before, but it's alright.  I was worried in the original version it wasn't as clear that they would be doing more trips after the first one with Rikku.

I also wanted the last panel to be a little funnier, but less constructive.

Pulse 469 + PSDs + WIPs

My keyboard batteries ran out right before the lettering step, so that added some challenge.

Only three more pages to the chapter.

Pulse 469 WIP 3

Annie and Thomas talk about re-installing the part the Silver Dragon added to the suit.

All those little parts are going to be a lot of work.

Pulse 469-471 WIP

Okay, what happens is that Annie and Thomas talk about the part The Silver Dragon added to the suit, and that there isn't much of a risk to add it again considering the suit doesn't work.

When it's added, the suit reverts back to a ring.  When Annie puts it on and turns her suit back on, it starts upgrading and tur...

Annie in Blue

Colored and inked this Annie sketch.

Velma and Daphne

I kind of liked the look of the sketch Velma's a little more, but they looked less like the character.

Pulse 468 + PSDs + WIPs

Not that much difference between the version with and without dialog this week.  I thought this worked fine as a silent page, and when with that.

I needed a page with them transporting the suit to be disassembled and Annie getting some clothes.  The page was split into three sections- one section showing them ...

Pulse 468 WIP 4

This is late, so it's going up for all Patreons.

A no-dialog page maybe.  I'm considering replacing panel 5.  I wanted the 4th panel to be Annie getting undressed, and panel 5 to be her getting dressed (but less dressed than panel 6).
