Artist's Comments

Here it is! The nearly finished (nearly because I still see lots of bits I can work on but they're not exactly urgent. . . .) inked and colored version of the Ashita and Yesterday conceptual opening sequence!

Roughs are here: [link]

INTRODUCTION!!
For those who don't know, I have a webcomic called Ashita and Yesterday (Tomorrow and Yesterday), a story about a little suburban town in Oklahoma where some pretty strange things start to happen: Giant dinosaurs and floating islands appear in the sky and certain people are suddenly able to fly for some reason?? It seems like there are only a couple people who know what's going on. . . .

Eleven-year-old HARUKI NARISHIMA is intent upon capturing the strange dinosaurs--Why? Even he seems a little confused about the reasoning behind it, but maybe it has to do with world domination, or self realization, or something like that (but isn't he a little young to be worrying about self realization??). He spends his free time trying hard to get a perfect on his SAT essay (he's taking it early, of course) and caring for his beloved obaa-chama (grandmother).

Local 高校生 (high school student) MEGALOW (last name unknown) has a second life as a taciturn superhero bent on stopping Haruki from doing . . . well, whatever he's doing. Unfortunately, neither of them are particularly interested in explaining their motivations, so it's hard to tell who to root for. Her superpowers have very little to do with dinosaurs and everything to do with controlling birds, and anything that looks like a bird, for that matter. She may become a harbinger of the apocalypse. Or maybe she'll become a prospective community-college photography student. It's hard to tell.

KETCHIE, the ordinary girl in the red tracksuit, is our Observer character, who has a bad habit of running into Haruki and Megalow in their various afterschool epic rumbles. She would like so, so much to be able to graduate from middle school without getting attacked by mind-controlled birds or getting flattened by an island.

ANIMATION INFO!!

I started this a little before December, finished the roughs in February and basically spent June and July doing inking and coloring. This is ONE OUT OF TWO animations I am planning to submit to colleges in my art portfolio, along with about five figure drawings, five AP Studio Art pieces, five traditional personal drawings, and a couple bits of random things that will probably change by school.

Oh, and BIG PLEASE thanks to ~Shipuh for helping me times ten with technical work and to :devgottstalk: for being very supportive. THANK YUU~~

The coloring! The animation-ness! If only I could animate...oh hell. XD

That's really neat! 8D In terms of anime-type OP, it's excellently pulled off.

And it was totally worth the wait (which was a long one considering I'm on dialup).

There's nothing more disappointing than waking up in the morning to find that the bacon is burnt and half of your house has been decimated.

Oh... oh man! :O THE MONSTER, SHE HAS BEEN DEFEATED. Or, I dunno, momentarily stalled, since there are still things to want to fix...?

I think I like the flying sequence best of all. :D And Megalow's pseudo-couture outfits.
