they layout is great. bright, shiny and eye-catching, but still easy to read. Consider a beta. Even though this is short blurbs, it still needs to be gramatically correct and spelled properly all the way through.

On a side-note, in 2016, Harry would be 36, not 25. He was born July of 1980.

A beta for this? I haven´t thought about it...
Well, about the ages, I have to confess my memory fails me about this stuff-- I forgot he was born on July of 1980....so that´s was my bad...
But, coming to think of it, the older!harry I chose (Tom Welling), wouldn´t pass at 36:)

I really enjoyed reading this. I love the "grown up" Harry and Draco. I did, however, note some typos. Just so you know they're there.

In one of the bubbles Lucious says "Bur" instead of "But."

W00t! Charlie Hunnam and Tom Welling! Can't get much better than that! ^______^

I like it. I mean, part of me is all jaw-to-the-floor-and-omg-am-I-really-seeing-this? But the other part of me is like, "Why didn't anyone think of doing this earlier?" :D I'm excited to see where this is going.

Your graphics are pretty good; if you keep working hard, they'll only get better. Don't be afraid of putting in details that only you know about. Be aware of over-using the blur or smudge tool; your manipulations might turn out more photoshop'd than I'm sure you'd like them to be. Think cleaner, less "unfocused". In other words, if something looks blurry or "unfocused" in parts because of the manips, try to draw it in a little, to make it sharper, or make the whole image blurry.

Over all, I like the backgrounds to the pages and how they are coloured for each page. I would make a slight other note about the "thoughts" that Draco is having. I wasn't aware, at first, that that's what those concave boxes meant. Might I suggest putting the words into italics as well, just to make it look more like a thought? Italics are standard for such things, even in comics.

I'd also like to recommend a book, just for reference. It's called "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. I had it for a class of mine in Uni, and It's a really good way to understand the different ways to do things in comics, even if they're not "drawn".

I hope this helps! Good luck with what's to come!

Neither for me:) They´re just...it.

Yeah I think the same thing...I´m happy to be the first to think about something...finally!

Oh yeah, the blur tool is dangerous....but also necessary; I try to use as little as possible but when the image comes from a screencap it always needs a little repair on these little squares that tend to appear in the face.

lol...it´s funny that part actually:) I wanted italics on these parts...but can you believe that the font I choose didn´t have italics???? But then it was too late to change...so I had to leave like this.
Thanks for reccing the book...lol

Interesting! Love the Barbie family, especially Lucius! :D I don't much like Harry being portrayed by Tom...whatshisname because his looks are too perfect and pampered for my inner Harry. (Oh, and there are no magic universities in canon, just saying.) Otherwise, I'm looking forward to what comes next!

Cara, quê que é isso? O_O
Photoshop maciço!!! *delira*
Eu só fico imaginando o trabalho que deve ter dado! Cristo! Tá genial! Muito bem feito, parabéns! Só o abdomem tanquinho do Draco é que está estranho. Eu o imagino com um corpo bem definido e tal... mas tanquinho? Não sei... ^^"
Vai fazer mais?

Feb. 6th, 2008 04:44 am (UTC)

Como é bom responder em português pra variar um pouquinho!!!
Não deu tanto trabalho montar o cenário, mas sim fazer as manips do Tom e do Charlie com os óculos de Harry e o uniforme de Hogwarts...

Depois disso, foi batata...

Bom, mas é gostoso akele tanquinho...heheheheh....
Tb naum sei, todos escrevem ele como sendo magro--até magro demais pro meu gosto...naum gosto de tanta magreza assim...
Por isso achei esse cara perfeito!!!

Ei, vlw por ler e comentar!!!

This is awesome! Explain how you did it, so I can do it *g*

btw- I recognize your Harry- who's your Draco?!

btw- do a Boone/Jack one!!

Feb. 6th, 2008 05:55 am (UTC)

Lol...I use Photoshop...
I get almost every pic of Tom and Charlie I can find, them do same with Harry/Draco and manip the glasses and robes to their bodies:)
Is quite simple actually...but it needs a certain familiarity with the program to make them^^

Draco is Charlie Hunnam.

0_0 A Jack/Boone one????????????That´s a great idea!!!!!Genius!!!!!
I really must...it´s a lot easier I don´t have to manip them...
Oh you´re giving me ideas....feeding my muse....that´s dangerous!!!
