Art for Yhlee!

[yuletart-mods.livejournal.com]

Title: Ghost of a Chance
Gift for: yhlee
Artist: inknose
Rating:: PG
Fandom: Fray: Future Slayer
Characters: Melaka Fray, Harth Fray
Warnings: little bit o' comic book violence
Artist notes: Happy holidays to yhlee!! Funny story - in scouring the internet for reference pictures (I actually don't have my copy of 'Fray' with me at the moment, so excuse any character design elements that I may have totally forgotten) one of the first things I came across... was a fic by you. Why is Fray fandom so tiny!?!
(Also, to clear up some possible confusion... in the second to last panel, Harth is making a getaway in some flying van driven by his lurk cronies. Or something. Make up your own plot XD)
Summary: One more time Melaka doesn't kill her brother.

Gorgeous, but I think the mods forgot to change the URL on the second image. Here it is! ^^

*facepalm* Thanks for the correction! I blame my holiday food coma. XD

[fangirlism]

XD We've all been there

[inknose.livejournal.com]

Huzzah, I'm so glad that you like it!! And thank you for your prompts, because I probably never would have gotten around to something like this otherwise, but I something inside me clearly needed to draw angsty Fray fanart ;D

[leochi.livejournal.com]

Really lovely work! :)))

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you! right back atcha ;)

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, this is really awesome! You have such a distinct style, I love the linework. :) Makes me wish I knew the fandom so I could appreciate the characterization more, but you tell a good story in the comic format, so I feel like it doesn't even matter almost. :)

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thanks, that's good to hear. mandatory GO CHECK IT OUT, FRAY IS AWESOME

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

I'll check it out! I love good comics. :)

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

IDK the fandom particularly well, but this comic makes me want to go find more! and I love the color and the dynamics and just. yeah, this is pretty AWESOME!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

dooo it! ;D and thank you so much!

[chen-san.livejournal.com]

That's really an amazing style, you've got there! Great job!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thanks! XD I am sitting here laughing my ass off at your icon, just btw.

[nebst.livejournal.com]

Don't know the fandom, so I have ... no idea what's going on, really, but this is gorgeously done.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

haha, well I'm glad you enjoyed anyway :) thank you!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Beautiful work.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

♥ thanks!

I love Fray and I absolutely love this! I always felt that Fray was a perfect melding of art and story and you've captured that here without many words. I love how vulnerable Harth looks at first, and then we see him hardening into what he is now.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

aww, what a nice thing to say! I'm so glad you liked it. Harth's evilface turned out to be one of my favorite parts as well ;)

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

I don't know this fandom, but this is amazingly well done.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you!!

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

Excellent--I love the colors and the gorgeous linework, and even without really knowing the story, I feel like I know the story just from reading this, if that makes any sense at all.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you so much - as an aspiring comic book artist, that is such a wonderful compliment to get :3

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

ohhh great sequence work and character design.
Love the facial expressions.

Nice job!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you so much! though I can't take credit for the design so much, Fray is so badass to begin with there wasn't much left for me to do ;D

[red-eft.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! I love the sense of motion, especially in the first two panels.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you! that's something I'm still trying to improve upon, I think, but it's nice to hear!

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

OMG the angst, poor Melaka! Why do Slayers always have to make such hard choices, the poor things! Love the story that plays out and how even I the reader feels suckered in by Harth's trickery. Great pacing, action scenes and colouring. LOVE how you do the poignant gradient lighting in the last panel - really exemplifies Melaka's feeling of loneliness and despair. Awww *hugs her*

[inknose.livejournal.com]

*pets the Slayers* Because Joss likes to cause us all pain? ;____;

yay, thanks! I was hoping that there would be a sense of surprise or of being duped on the reader's part as well, but I wasn't sure if I'd pulled it off at all. aghgh just thanks so much for your lovely comment :3

Beautiful little comic--emotionally and visually. I especially love that inset of her eyes. It says so much, and your line work is so very expressive.

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thank you so much ♥

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Fantastic comic-book setup and art -- the relationship between the two comes across so clearly, even though I don't know the characters. Good job!

[inknose.livejournal.com]

thanks! they're such great characters, it was a lot of fun :)

[cornish-pixies.livejournal.com]

It would help if you were at least a little good at art and if you were drawing things I actually cared about, but aside from that I guess this is ok.....

JK I LOVE YOU. this is going on my wall.
