[PSD Files] Chapter 6.18-20

A lot of this chapter has been experimenting with inking techniques on the front half of the pages, but there's about equal experimentation with coloring techniques in the back end. While these pages don't seem particularly complex, I struggled with getting the lighting and page to feel natural. It's supposed to feel like artificial lighting, but getting artificial lighting to look attractive while still maintaining the feel is pretty difficult. The scene with Rosemary is supposed to feel somewhat mundane, but with mundanity comes additional problems of 'realism' in comparison to a cartoony art style.

I think if I were to redo these pages (which I probably won't, I don't want to get caught in redoing things) I would try to include more backgrounds in the panels and more details in the backgrounds, to help make it feel like an actual basement archive.
