Behind the Scenes: My Evolving Creative Process
Added 2025-08-02 11:01:01 +0000 UTCI wanted to use this Saturday to share a bit about my process and the evolution I'm going through as a creator, thanks to your support.
When I started making comics, my approach was simple: set up the characters, point the camera, and render. The results were more like documentary snapshots than deliberate storytelling.
In the first image, the lighting is flat, the colors feel random, and the camera acts merely as an observer—there's very little intention behind it. I break this image down into two separate shots that follow, both of which feel much more intentional.
With "This Empty Vessel," I'm consciously adopting the principles of cinematic storytelling.
Every camera angle, every lens choice is a deliberate decision to make you feel something—vulnerability, power, claustrophobia. The same goes for color. I'm learning to use specific color palettes to enhance the mood of a scene, instead of just using whatever looked bright. The goal is to create a cohesive, atmospheric world that pulls you in.
It's a huge learning curve, but I'm obsessed with getting better and creating something truly special. Your support on Patreon is what makes it possible for me to dedicate time to this kind of growth and not just be a content machine.
You can see the results of this new approach in the latest pages, which are unfolding right now on Patreon. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
