Fortunately, horses are non-reflective.

Colours are fun. The first set of GodStrike (in fact, most of the first chapter) is set during the late sunset, which have given me some license to paint backgrounds almost entirely in retina burning red and purple-grey. This, has provided its own challenges (as in, showing the character in a way that she can be seen - including her colours - and yet still interacting with the light) as well has its own fun bits (I love the almost monochrome-esqu background, and the red really gives it this ominous feel, which it fitting). Fortunately, horses are non-reflective, so I don't have to go overboard with the lighting colours.

I think this kind of colour composition is something I should play around with in the future. Maybe when there's more movement and action scenes I can do more backgrounds similar. Hmmm.... See this is why I started GS (or one of the reasons), to improve my art.

Anyway, GS update tomorrow. Two full page panels.

I'm starting to think I need to consider updating GS more often. I I were a reader, I'd want more than one-two pages a week. The story won't get very far it continues at a once a week update. Unless I aim to do more than one-two pages per week. Its definitely something to keep in mind. Still. I don't want art quality to suffer in order to pump it out at a faster rate. I guess next week would be a good 'test week' to see just how much I can get done without producing crap.

Learning. That's what its all about.
