It has been a while since the previous post. During the first week of September, I had shared and discussed with some old friends about my approach of reviving the 2016 comics, and the feedback I had received, despite I appreciate the kindness and positivity, I know most of the fans of reading mangas -including myself- prefer the content, flow of good reading, and expressive graphics. Which conflicts with what I was doing in the earlier September. (version 1) In version 1 it also seems I was over fixing and the result became quite rigid and less expressive.
距上一PO又晃點了一段時間,原本在九月第一週打算每天推一點進度並私下分享給友人討論,收到一些意見後,我自己歸納出了一個結論,總而言之呢大部份喜歡閱讀漫畫的讀者(包括我)偏好直覺、表達感強烈的畫面,以及流暢的閱讀體驗,並不太在意結構或透視的問題,甚至是完稿程度。所以啦我一開始的完稿手法(version1)並不理想,而且可能修正過頭了吧,看起來也挺呆板的。
And to be practical, this project will be very likely more than 100 pages, and in version 1, each page took over a week to draw. Apart from completing each page, the panel plans, story writing, and plot fixes will also take a lot of time. It is obviously not a feasible way to complete this project.
更實際點來說,這本光是在16年的草稿(含未公開的部份)就超過60頁,把一些該加進去的劇情補完後很可能超過一百頁。就第一版的速度來看,一頁要畫超過一週,一月頂多畫個四頁,還不含打分鏡、補故事、修正劇情bug等等過程。目前的畫法怎麼看都太浪費時間。
So...I decided to dive into the trial again, this time I want to loosen up my drawings and fasten the process. My goal for now is to find a hybrid method that could be a bit less messy(compare to the 2016 sketch) and require the same amount of time to finish like the 2016 approach.
所以呃叭子在這兩週內再度進入不斷砍掉重練的卡關循環,總之目標是找到更有效率的完稿方式,希望能比16年版稍微再清晰易讀點,但花的時間相同。
I'm almost certain that I'll need to pause the Oct billing cycle again...x_x TBH it's possible that I'll not be able to find a better approach than what I did in 2016...but now I still want to give myself a couple of weeks to try out everything possible that I can think of.
十月的結帳週期估計又要暫停了,搞不好到頭來還是找不到比16年更速效的畫法orz,總之還是想再擠出幾週來多做各種測試看看。
Sorry for not much to share during recent weeks, and thanks for all your patience! I really appreciate all the comments and thoughts about this project.
本月至目前為止,依舊沒能提供什麼獎勵,在這邊先說聲抱歉(汗)也感謝各位的耐心等待和賜教!目前收到不少留言和打氣,我都有用心看過...!
