Finished up with inking, colouring, toning and adding the effects to make it look like a cheezy Power Rangers effect. Here's what it looks like when all of that is put together. Best panel ever.

Here's the final outcome for the background. Looks impressive.

The title says it all. After a small break I decided to work on the top panel because I thought it was easier to do since I was going to spend a lot of time on the bottom panel.

After refining the very top panel I decided to detail one of my favourite panels.

After working on these panels I decided to finally colour the middle panel.

This is how I create the frames for the animations. I draw on one layer using a different colour, then I fill the inside of the image with black and then I colour the outline with a bright pink (with some hints of blue). Then I repeat it three times or more until it's ready to animte in photoshop.

After finishing off those panels I started working on the next chunk of the page. I started with detailing the figure (Joal) and made sure that it stood out from the background, by adjusting the colour scheme.

The title says it all! I changed the colour of the lightning and added some glow effects to make it pop out.

After inking, colouring and toning the belt I thought about adding some lightning, kind of like those cheesy Power Rangers special effects.

After almost finishing the final panel I discovered that it didn't look right. The final panel felt like a copy and paste, even though it was! So I decided to do a close up of the belt (with flashy lightning effects, pew pew).

While working on one panel I decided to copy and paste the same drawing and move the image onto the next panel over. Then I erased the face and moved the head slightly downward.

Here's a shot of me starting on a new set of panels. I love working this way.

After changing the pose of the second panel I decided to ink, colour and toned the characters and backgrounds. I copied the background three times for each panel, except for the fourth panel, I needed to create a new panel background from scrach.

I started with the easiest panels for me to detail. There will be some changes with the second panel because that pose wasn't the best. It didn't look right so I changed it later on.

This was my favourite page layout I've ever worked on.

After many sketches and drawings of the same character in different positions, I finally decided to go back to the original sketch of the pose and work from that.

Okay! This page was fun to work on, until photoshop froze for me multiple times.

After I finished all but one panel from the top part of the page, I decided to start the panel just below the one I missed out. I did this because I spent over 30 minutes drawing and redrawing that single panel.
So, I took a break from that panel and started working on the new panel you see here.
2017-03-04 13:30:00 +0000 UTC View Post
After finishing up the last panels, I decided to start detailing, inking and colouring the very top panels you see before you. I also had to redesign the second panel because I wasn't able to figure out the pose of the character in the comic (Joal... Just Joal).

After finishing off with inking and colouring this panel I wanted to try to figure out where the lights and shadows would hit and how luminated the lights should be.

After I inked and coloured everything I needed to create a simple background. So I created one for one panel, merged it all together and then copied and pasted it onto the next panel.

This is pretty much how I colour all my backgrounds. I take a previous page I've coloured already, stripped it from its textures and use the colour picker to use for the newest page, this also workes for the characters too.
Note: I need to create some character references after I finish the chapter.
While this panel was inked and ready for colouring I completly forgotten to add the white border around the inked character. So I had to draw it by hand without messing up the layer.

After finishing with all the detailing I decided to start inking but instead of what I usually do, I decided to focus on completing a small portion of panels and work my way up (or down) the page.
