MI Stuff- the closet of destiny

Added 2017-08-17 03:40:26 +0000 UTC

Hi guys! Thank you for your patience the last few weeks, I haven't been posting as much here because I'm getting like half a dozen big projects off the ground in serious ways (and have spent about $8k doing it, someone please call the police I am robbing myself). ENOUGH ABOUT ME and my self-imposed work suffering, I will be back to posting more behind-the-scenes stuff more frequently soon. Also some pin giveaways for fun, he he.

I am finishing up the supplement worksheet that pairs with this pacing tutorial that came out recently, and I took the picture above for illustration purposes... the quality is a bit too low for you to read anything significant, but this is the end of Mare Internum on my closet door, haha. Probably the only thing on it that is more than slightly recognizable is the second blue post-it note which turned into this panel:

It wasn't the most visually significant panel, but from my end it was the defining panel of the scene.

The way I do this is generally put the big story beats on green post-its, I put visual markers as doodles on the blue ones, and I write down any text snippets I really want to go into the final draft on the orange slips. Top row is Ch 4, and bottom row is Ch 5. The yellow post-its are holdovers from my previous apartment's closet door, RIP, assuming it died without me sticking a bunch of crap to it.

Another fun fact: l haven't even reached the 4th post it on the top row yet, lol. It's okay though, the visuals are much more compressed at the end; we are actually a bit over halfway through the chapter. For amusement, you can always come back to this post after Ch 4 is finished and try and match up the scribbles to some of the scenes coming up :]
