[TRiPPY]

Here's some work in progress of one of my NiGHTS projects. I've not scanned my most recent work on it. All these scans were done back when the old forums were up and the art itself is over a year old now. Most of this is predraw scribbles (as is obvious XD ) But the story is still there.

Anyone for WTAHM 2?

Here's a sneaky preview of the err... preview.

And yes, WTAHM is my interpretation of the original game after WTAHM1. Enjoy :3

MASTER W00T OF THE W00TSIES. W00T.
TRiPMASTAH sketches! Oh my, oh my!

I never got a chance read WTAHM 1, but but but! This impresses me, a lot! The NiGHTS Into Dreams game by TRiP's eyes! Wonderful! (Excuse the exclamations, but I'm REALLY excited about this, even being an old project.)

After all, I'm SO happy for seeing your sketches again. I miss then on dA.

And... The first draw, the almost completed one with the cheerladers, it scares me. I see a girl that looks like... What was her name? I think it was Amanda, the girl on your "Reality has a funny way to grant wishes" deviation. I see also Reala, those boys, and uh... Scary anyway. BUT! This is a fantastic piece. I still want to discover your secret to colour. It's so shiny, eye-catching and stuff, but with a dark touch on it.

May I bow to you AGAIN? *Bows anyway*


... Are you going to scan MOAR sketches? o___o

[Jof]

Damn I envy your storytelling and comic-drawing skills. The way you draw NiGHTS and expressions- completely fantastic. I didn't want to stop reading : (

Not having had the chance to read the original Wtahm completely, things about the story are still a little fuzzy, but I get the jist, and it's great. As soon as it becomes available, I can't wait to delve deeper into this world.

All hail to the queen of NiGHTS, for she hath returned : )

[TRiPPY]

X) *teary hugs to you both*

I'm so hyped about creating this comic. And after it's all complete i'm doing a written version like WTAHM1.


... and then 3

[Purgatory]

Oo, stuff I've never seen! I like it! *hugs all the pages and crinkles them up* O_O ..... *Runs away with them*
I like the way you set things up with your comics, its like a trademark to you. ^^
I wanna make comics toooo~ *Still running*

[NeoKairi]

I find your comic drawing skills to be absolutely AMAZING @___@
I mean, even if these haven't been inked or anything yet, I still find the level of detail to be incredible.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who starts to color what I've already inked even when the rest is still in pencil XD

[Kato]

Tis like sex on paper. Only not the hentai kind.

[catchan2007]

TRiPPY, u are such a good artist! ^-^
NiGHTS looks so beautiful! ^-^

[Nightingale]

Hee. Scarymaries in the grass...! I love the little details. Scoreboard! And NiGHTS looks so flippin' insane on page 12. (I would've run. XD)

[Aura-Moon]

God...I lvoe that top picture...dunno why...

Dangit woman t-t if I had your skills, I could create my comics that play through my head...So gorgeous...

[Metra]

Oh, now I saw that pic with an YELL0W plushie (WTAHMpreview 13, I think)... Is that girl with black eyes Andrea? Anyway this draw ALSO scares me, but I find it cute. Must be the plushie. I want one.

[animejosse]

Have I told you how inspiring your art is? I really need to sit down and work on my own stuff.

[Icachan]

I've missed these pages so much... T___T You got a WONDERFUL style, and the way you do comics are really an inspiration to us all... like Josse said, it makes me want to work more on my own stuff...
I absolutly LOVE how NiGHTS nightmaren side shows through on page three. Scares me to death, but oh so lovely~

[PRiNCE]

Your art...
It...
Is...
BETTER THAN PIE! For me, that is HUGE praise! I bow to your awesome artistic abilties *bows, hits head on floor, and falls unconcious* (This is the part where most people take my limp body and push it offa cliff. Oh, you think I'm kidding? HA! No, seriously, they would.)

[Purgatory]

The tattoo on the blonde's arm makes me think of how I wanted to draw Purgatory's stomach pattern, but I always sucked at patterns. XD Someone told me that it looked like it meant "Co*k goes here".

[Sierra]

Wow. Just wow. This is my first real glimpse at WTAHM, and I think I'm in love. ^.^ Sierra wants more!

[DiENE]

Amazing scans, cannot wait to see the completed project. Looks very interesting. You always make NiGHTS so attractive lol.

[Fushidane]

X3

Your artwork is really nice, it inspires me to work harder as well.

[YamiLover13]

I love your artwork. One of the pages reminds me of the yaoi comic started be never finished, or didn't show on DA due to it being too mature. >.< Oh well.

I guess its good to take a break from the frist WTAHM and do the second one. Interesting ideas you have there. I am probably the only person here though that doesn't quite enjoy seeing NiGHTS evil and angry. I don't know. Call me old fashined and naive, I think of NiGHTS as to have always been a very cheerful and carefree being. I don't mind it when I see UV though because my mind thinks of UV as diffrent character all together. Don't ask...

Still great to look at though. I don't know how you have the time to do this. O.O

Also the artwork up top scares me....

[~Tsuki~]

*_____* TRiPPY those are all so beautiful. I've tried drawing comics before and it's not easy! You've done a spectacular job with the flow, positioning, story... well everything really. And the detail.. *o* I love it all. ^__^ I kinda of see NiGHTS like Yami does, as carefree and happy, but I like seeing a different darker perspective of him as well. Can't wait to see more! ^__^ <3's~

[AYRiES]

Your artwork is so expressive and wonderful. You can get so much across in just one panel. It's amazing. They're all so beautiful! And everyone looks, I dunno, really solid and rounded and they all look like they're part of the world. They don't look like they've been drawn separately. And the coloured ones... the colouring is just so nice. Really detailed, as well.

[Ten]

Oh my GOD, woman. o_o! ::flailflail:: It it it it it it it it... WOW. o_o

[Kori]

Give me just a moment, I'm kinda stunned speechless! O_O

TRiPPY, your artwork is spectacular, lightyears beyond what I'm capable of. But the story you've fashioned.. the characters, designs, history, absolutely everything... something about it touches me, and I can't quite put it to words! I just feel for NiGHTS so much, and even though I know very little about Astrima, whoever stabbed UV, or the relationship UV once shared with the other Maren (Reala?), it doesn't seem to matter. It tugged at my heart. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

[Teh_NoOb]

OMG.*Stares at sketches* The plot,the characters....So well developed.......You're inspiring me to start doing some serious artwork and work harder inthe name of Dreams like so many others! It's just so.......wow.

[Ninja Liz-chan]

This looks so freakin awsome There so beautiful, I quite like scribbles. Even if there not done they're quite nice to look at. Looking at these makes me want to put some more effort into my stuff ^^;

[MidgitLD]

XD I remember seeing some of this before. These sketches are pretty inspiring in their own WIP-ness. The fully completely pages will probably make people's brains break with the SHINEH.

[Blueblur8_lover]

Lovely, Scary, awesome! I always loves your style ^^

[Silvia Callisto]

Okay...three days after I take a look at the thing and I'm still blown over. One moment while I'm trying to regain myself...

Holy hand grenades, Batman! Just even looking at the comics like this makes me want to see more! I've always wanted to read the original WTAHM, but this...I think I can somewhat get an idea as to what happened, I think it's because I took a look at your bios for both yourself and for Astirma a while back, TRiPPY... Now I REALLY wanna figure out a way to finish up one of my stories...and probably make a comic myself in the meanwhile, 'cause I need the practice. They just...myeh.

Can I bow to you and your superior abilities? *bows anyway*

[Jof]

Hahah. I just noticed the Pian Skeletons on the first page after the Intro splash. : D

Its the little things.

[Sweep]

oh god that realaXnights going on was AMAZING. haha, anyways! i want to see more Trip. :3 your art INSPIRES ME. *takes out a pencil*

[iNSOMNiAC]

@w@ TRiPPY...*art zombeh* So, um...I haven't been keeping up with this...

Is WTAHM1 finished..?

Where can I read it?

Where are the previews now since you left DA?

And stuff...

I love your art TRiPPY!! <3 *gives you a cookie*

[animejosse]

iNSOMNiAC: These are the previews. She's working on them (among lots of other things) right now, so it's not finished. Patience (easier said than done, I know)

Jof: Dear God, It's the first time I noticed them O_O Freaky.

[Sweep]

JoF: oh god i didnt see them either!

iNSOMNiAC: yeah, as josse said. ;p but we're all DIEING to see MORE. ;p trip's got us around her finger i sware to God XD

[iNSOMNiAC]

Josse: Thanks for the heads up, why did I think WTAHM1 was done? o_O

Sweep: Someone save ussssss!!! XD

[Inubu]

Didn't U.V. NiGHTS used to have a devil tail and giant wings...or is this regular NiGHTS?Still looks insane to me!

[MYSTiCCOOKiE]

Wow I'm awed at your talent once again! Even though these are just sketches I had no trouble following the story or seeing what was going on. Simply amazing...I love NiGHTS character, though I haven't read WTHM1 so I'm not quite sure of what happened there with Astrima.
Just keep doing more sketch pages xD I'd even buy it like that if it was a comic it's so good!

And your colouring skills are fabulous! It's all done by hand with inks isn't it? Stunning!

[DARiA]

I am in a deep awe.
Looking on these preview pages makes me wanting to jump out of my window and fly in the sky like a crazy bird, doing acrobatic tricks and noises of bursting joy.
In other words, I'm extremely happy I've come across this awesomness of yours.

I've seen the first pages of the WTAHM at the website - they made me all speechless and dreamy, like "awww, the drawings", "awww, the inking", "awww, the screentones coloring", "awww, the UV NiGHTS", "awww, the story" and so on. Reading first chapters of the WHATM put me deeper in that stunned dreamy state.
I love your interpritation of NiGHTS, the character itself and the whole story in general. I love how you are drawing. I love how you are dreaming. I love your ability to embody your dreams into reality as you want them to be emboded.
I would definately love to see more of your works of art, writings or singing *w*

[Roam]

I think everyone has already said anything I could say about your art. But the fact that something THAT GOOD is crafted by human hands quite simply blows my mind.

[Ashashi]

Wow... Just wow...

You never cease to amaze me TRiPPY The story, the art, everything's awesome! ;.; Poor UV NiGHTS though... with the arrow and all. He needs hugs *sends hugs his way*

But as I said, awesome. Awesome all the way ^__^
