Backstage Access - A Very Important Task (SPOILER!)
Added 2024-03-10 00:05:43 +0000 UTCHey y'all!
This will be the first post in a series I'll be calling "Backstage Access". This is where I'll give you guys behind-the-scenes looks into my comic. This is the sketch version of the upcoming page, if you don't want to see spoilers for the next page, then please wait to read this once the next page has been publicly posted! :)
(NEXT PAGE SPOILERS AHEAD!)
For this particular page we'll be meeting Marshall's secretary and most loyal gopher, "Sister" Margaret. I wanted the first series of panels to be cascading into her insanity, as we get glimpses of her saccharine little ceramic figures, filing cabinets with labels such as "Traitors", "Heretics", etc. and her strangely passive aggressive cross stitch pieces. - All leading up to her most aggressive and craziest one, the one in her hands.
Growing up, my grandma (Who is wonderful and sweet and nothing like Margey here LOL) has always loved to collect little figurines, dolls, angels, garden gnomes, etc. So in designing those weird little figures Marge collects I was pulling from a lot of those memories of grandma's dusty shelves of granny collectables. - Only I wanted them to be kinda creepy and weird as well.
As you can see, anything that isn't lineart is literally drawn in roughly potato-style, only legible to myself honestly, as anything that doesn't have lineart gets painted in. :) I have attached the finished scrolling wall of cross stitch panels so that you can see how a page can go from potato to painted!
And Marshall, we don't want you near Lyria, you creepy fella.
