••••••Kyle and Tyler are two very different men that hate each other, but by chance end up playing in the same band.This is not only a challenge for their patience, but also a struggle for success and recognition.

It’s been since November 2011 that I have been working on this comic project, and slowly but surely the pages are starting to look finished.
Here’s just a sneak peek at page 56 of 156, in its original English version. (Publication will be in German first, sadly)
The lettering will be redone by the publisher (Tokyopop) but I always letter myself first so I can place the bubbles better or see how much space I need and where I need to rewrite dialogue.
Sorry for the lack of updates, I haven’t had much free time in a long while. T uT;
I think Tyler has a tiny bit of Keith Flint in him too.
keep-calm-and-homestuck-on asked: hehe thx for answering now for my own amusement XD which of the characters has the most sexual experience?
LLLLadies~
He’s the most popular and had the most girlfriends! And then there’s this whole thing about discovering bisexuality. A___A
Kimi’s still depressed about her last breakup and therefore not interested in dating, Scott gets friend zoned most, and Tyler is too awkward/aggressive to maintain relationships.
keep-calm-and-homestuck-on asked: I'm looking for a nice (but cheap :P) sketchbook, got any suggestions?
I’m afraid I only use one kind of sketchbook, so I can’t give you many suggestions or alternatives. :I
I use the Canson XXL Sketch pad (A4), 120 pages, 90g/m². So far it’s been the best paper for sketching for me. Hope this helps. :}
Here’s some random pages of the comic Crash ‘n’ Burn I am working on now, to explain bleeds~
The green area is where the paper will be cut off.
The blue is up to where the drawing can go.
The pink is where the speech has to stay in to avoid cut-offs.
(The grey area is the Photoshop background- Means nothing. :D )
Here’s the exact dimensions I work in:
Not sure if this helps anyone, but I thought I’d put it out there. The template is one I’ve gotten from Tokyopop when I started working for them.
Good luck! :}
Just a tidbit more to show. After placing the text, it’s time to draw speech bubbles. slowly but surely getting things done. + u+)
When I first created Tyler, this was his theme song. :> Definitely still a great song, after so many years.
Refused - New Noise
tubnikkz asked: Who is that Eva person. :O
Scott and Eva are
She’s also there to boss Tyler around! :B (manager)
Haven’t shared music in a while. Here, have one of Kyle’s favourites: Disturbed - Indestructible
Sorry for people in Germany, if it’s blocked, try googling the title and check sites like dailymotion, filestube or myspace. GEMA seems to only block youtube. :c
Some random panels from random pages. :> (work in progress)
Sorry for the lack of updates. x _x (Last stretch toning pages 70-156 in May…)
Here’s some more sample pages with Kimi~
messie-r00m asked: You're going to upload CnB's first chapter on to the internet right? Will the chapter be in english or germen?
Yes, that’s right. :> I will translate the first chapter into English since the majority reading it online will be English speaking. It makes more sense I think. (And it was originally scripted in English anyway)
For the last doodle of Jack I didn’t really have a ref open, so he turned out kinda wonky. :I So here’s two actual panels of him in the comic. :>
kerritheberry asked: As a liverpool fan i love the fact tyler and scott love liverpool too :D
XD ♥ (dammit, keep forgetting Tyler’s tats & scar pffff)
keep-calm-and-homestuck-on asked: this isn't going to be a yaoi is it? either way i don't really care but a heads up is nice
Hm, this is a bit tricky to answer without going into details.
If you’re asking whether or not it has any gay content, the answer is yes, it will.
Whether or not it is YAOI though (as a genre), is debatable. I personally would not consider it yaoi, because it lacks the majority of traits that identify a yaoi story and characters. CnB has no romance, no focus on relationships, no seme/uke stereotypes, no fantasy escapism, and is not aimed exclusively at women. (also, read western-style.)
Hope this helps, and hope not too many are shocked or put off. :P
