so...source?

The art in this one looks really solid, much more defined, less sketchy overall. Good stuff, but the real star for me is the lighting. Holy mother of a thousand Gods, dat lighting... Where do you even learn illumination like that? It's gorgeous.

the first one was posted on Pseudonym's tumblr a few days ago, this is the firs time I've seen page two, I'll go ahead and guess that this page IS the source.

>>34629
Wait, is that who I think it is...?

She seems so...tired and...calm.

>>34656
I hear ya. I have a nasty tendency to default to an "attractive" face if anything just because it's been a simple shorthand developed over years. Even while consciously trying to make her older, the effect doesn't always pan out when I step back from it. Here though, when I tried pushing it further she tended to look not at all like Azula. And it wasn't as if she started looking like Ursa either. But I'm just making excuses at this point, when I draw cartoons the same face effect hits me pretty hard.
>>34631
I had a class with an abstract painter and my brother is literally a lighting scientist. I think that helps a bit.
Actually, thanks for that. I should like to be better at light, but I think I can say that it's something I wish more comics focused on. Or even going full Bokeh for backdrops, the results could be really breathtaking when done right. I'm not quite there yet, and I'm making things easier on myself with a rather monochromatic color scheme but I like to think I'm on to something.

>>Lighting scientist
Sounds badass. Probably way more than it is IRL, but still.
Also, about aging characters and different faces, Coelasquid recently posted a tutorial thingy in her webcomic page, and along with a lot of tips about different face structure and such, it has ye olde protip of adding lines to a character's face for age. I noticed it a little in the last panel of >>34657
Especially around the brow and corner of the mouth. Looks pretty good. Maybe you could try deepening those lines a bit? I dunno, God knows I'm not an artist.

Is that Azula talking to Spider-man?
What?

>>34678
Age old (feels like it) Storyline started a few years back in /co/ Azula married Victor Von Doom and eventually ran out on him and their daughter. She was standing on a bridge and fell and Spidey saved her. and that led to a series of pics of Spidey messing with Azula. Nice to see some further progress.

this makes me feel all warm inside

>>34628
An extra "be" slipped in the second panel, but this is gorgeous nevertheless.

>>34629
That third panel...

Did Pete take those photos?

>Doom returns to villainy
>Azula being BFFs with a hero

I smell an awkward reunion.

Also, Spidey/Azula is my new OTP. DAMN YOU

Any chance of us getting reposts of the rest of the Doomzula stuff?

HOLY CRAP. THIS IS CONTINUING?!

>>34779
I can't believe I missed that... or that it took this long to notice it.
>>35003
Maybe later in this thread when I'm done with this episode. Alternatively, you can google "Doomzula" now and find a cbr someone seems to have made. Neat.

>>35153
If anyone knows how to just "replace" the top file I'd be much obliged.

>>35154
Azula's face is great, in this page, although Spider-Man's eyes are weirding me out.

>>35154
Spidey is ಠ_ಠ

>>35171
Furrowed Brow of Concern will do that to a mask when hearing such a statement.

>>35154
He's starting up his Spidey-mojo. There's no hope for the poor woman now.

I was not informed of this. That saddens me.

Woot! Moar Doomzula, after..uh.. a long hiatus!

>>41475

>>41484

Now she's attracted to the first guy she sees? Your azula is kinda all over the place, character wise.

>>41490
Give Azula a break dude, she's emotionally confused and vulnerable right now. And Peter can't help the fact that he's such a charmer.

>>41490
>implying there's a single bitch that doesn't love Spidey.

>>41490
Riiiight, because her being with Doom is much more logical. You act like this whole thing hasn't always been retarded fanfiction that puts even DeviantArt to shame

>>41501
You're right... dA really needs to step up their game! This is one of those things that is COMPLETELY absurd yet also satisfying in it's emotional impact! Seriously, you read this and there is a moment you totally forget that you have no idea why Azula is in 616 (is there a reason? I've never known of it if there is, but I also never thought a reason was needed). Pseudonym has a certain magical ability to take our most absurd fucking concepts and turn them into the stories we'd love to read.

Not sure if serious or just fanboy

People tend to get hung up the why and how too much. Unless it really breaks your immersion from the story (and sometimes, people care too much about something not to... not their fault), you should try to focus more on the story and the way it plays out. Let your suspension of disbelief carry you so you can get to the good stuff.

This isn't the same Azula I know from the series. This is an Azula who's spent a decade and a half doing her own thing. She's still undeniably Azula, but she's not the same when she was 14.

When it comes fanworks, it's important to keep that in mind.

I haven't checked /coc/ in months and seeing this makes me all warm inside. Keep it up, anon, I love it.

>>42039
>She's still undeniably Azula

I have to disagree. Besides her looks and firebending, I don't see anything to relate this character to the one from the show. What happened to her perfectionism? To her need for approval from her parents? Azula's own mom left her, but she never mentions that when leaving her own family. What happened to her mental breakdown?

No, this character is entirely of the author's own devising, and is only motivated by events the author created.

>>42041
That's just the point of the entire scenario, if you remember. It's similar to the way we change as we age. Especially in the modern time. And if examined from a post-conclusion of Avatar time frame, yeah, the entire silly world falls apart at the aesthetically pleasing but fragile seams.
In this world, Azula compromised Azula and became something and someone else. The quintessential Azula we're familiar with became trapped in a little box of her own mind and went in a different direction. But is that any different from the person who was going to grow up and be a doctor, only to learn they didn't have the grades or the money for med school and burnt out to be a bar fly? Early sketches of this gimmick before psu ran with it had Doom in a pitiful state as a browbeaten suburban cubicle jockey. Hardly the emperor of Latveria we know him as.

Of course it's not your Azula. This is Azula after life took a different turn for a brick wall.

My kingdom for an update

I was amazed by the comic pages here but then I read the 'Doomzula' one and got some context...

>Fat photos

For some reason this concept fills me with planet-shaking mirth. Just. . . The brain-wrecking hilarity of Doomzula being a fatass just makes my day.

Oh, and that art is fucking incredible. I'd rather buy this than the filth they peddle as Spider-Man stories now.

>>43302
Oh, Spider-man's crap again? It seemed hopeful after that storyline where everyone had spider-powers and he broke up with that sue of a love interest named after JoeQ's daughter, but I don't read Marvel/DC anymore so I have no idea...
