of grainy photographs

So I actually worked pretty hard on this sloppy little comic, but it got killed dead by my digital camera (my roommate's scanner was even worse, though). Sorry for the graininess.

It actually reads RIGHT TO LEFT, even though I wrote out the characters from left to right...oops. I don't really read manga so my panelling's pretty bad, too...

It's pretty hard to see some things due to the carnage perpetrated by my camera, so let me explain them/my katakana use to you!

On the first page, I use スタタタ for running footsteps, チラ meaning a quick glance backwards, コロ as something rolling--she's tripping on a little rolly robot there :O --and バン as an impact sound.


Page two, I use katakana for the characters' names (little monocle girl's name is March). Panel nine, I use the katakana ジロ as in a hard stare. Panel ten, the dude in the hat is showing her the wrench he's taken from her Q_Q. Last panel, I use ルンタタタ as the lady hummin' a song.


Page three, on panel two I use ピト　as the noise of something being lightly touched. Later ピリ as a sound of electricity/pain, even though technically I guess it's supposed to be ピリピリ. Lastly, ガクン...another impact noise. She sure seems to fall down a lot, huh?

Sorry if it seems like a snippet of a larger work, because it kind of is...I came up with this girl/world for my AP Art portfolio last year, and I just turn to it when I need to do art of some kind. I'm a bit out of practice, though, as you can see...
