I think it seems quite better than the original. It would be interesting to see the cartoony version, but that one was good, anyways. Thanks for the additions.

Thank you for the comment "Cartoony render" will need lots of experiments. I tried a few... not exactly appropriate. The CGed background is very detailed!

Ok, it looks like the CGed backgrounds fit quite well so far. I used Poser and a fake character to keep consistency with the drawings. I shall update progressively the initial posts.

For the record, here is a render of the full scene, so you will understand how I proceed. As the artist did not draw the boys who may have been visible in the background, I had to dispose them more or less in a row. Prince Arion is sitting in a corner of the "balcony" as he did not move along this chapter and the artist draw him sitting. Plus he tends (as we all know) to set himself a bit apart from the others. Jahv is currently by the "computer" which is set by the corner of the table. Niklas was looking at Jahv in the previous page, but now he turned to face Keith. In this way, the backgrounds are more or less coherent with the supposed actions of the boys. Btw, don't pay much attention to the boys in this render. I used the same boy-character for all, just changing the size and the skin colour, and giving them whatever hair toughly fitting. FULL SIZE

There you are! I'd heard you were going to come back. Wow, a fully illustrated and formatted story already. Cool. (You probably don't remember me. I only got to say hi a time or two if I recall. If not, welcome back anyway, and cool to have a new story. I'll have to get to reading it right away. Welcome back.

Hi Eidan! Of course I remember you There isn't much people around here… Story has been ready (as much as I can) since a good time, but I wanted it with illustrations. First I looked for Poser as I have been using it since long… but building credible hairdo for Jahv and Keyro proved impossible!! After having some short story illustrated by that artist, I offered that "My Frien is an Alien" sequel, and here it is. Hope you will have as much fun as I had writing (living) it

Chapter 1 page 13 FULL SIZE------ Backgrounded version. I applied some "tuning". Reducing the size of the balloons to show more of the background. Also reduced the size of Keyro who is shorter than Jahv! FULL SIZE

Well… I am "out of artist" Not surprising. I have never seen one able to last the distance… I am currently trying to "fish" others. One, at least. Here is a new piece which would fit into Chapter 2 page 0x FULL SIZENow, I still have to convince the artist to go on with a number of pages, at a decent price! Wish me (and us) luck!
