WIP Comic page - "Ghosts" page 6

So the comic production lost some steam again, but I juuuust managed to squeeze this clean-rough between my new commissions. I wrote a whole bunch of lore within the past couple weeks, and I think it'll allow me to push this storyline in some interesting directions... Hopefully. lol

Art - jetpack!

Here's the finished art, with a few layer separations. 

Eventually I'd like to make  a timelapse (or maybe host a stream) because there's definitely a lot of little messy stuff and techniques that I figure out a long the way that I'd like to show you guys some time. 

Hope you like it!

Animation, Storyboards, and Broken Pens (Update)

Hey everyone-- sorry for the lack of updates! A lot happened last week-- I broke the pressure sensitivity on my wacom pen and had to get it replaced, meaning I couldn't work on my comic at all while waiting for the replacement.

...But I did try some storyboarding, since that didn't require any pressure-sensitive work. Here's a sneak peek at some frames:

Comic Update - "Ghosts" page 2

Apologies for the development of the next comic being an absolute mess, lmao. On the bright side, I recently finished this page and I think it looks pretty nice! Excited for the next comic to be fully colored. 

Wesley sleeps off that old sandwich he ate in this one. [edit: just noticed I forgot the crack in his visor. I'll fix that in a bit. xP]

Getaway!

A couple of BAD GUYS, amiright?

So, I really went crazy on this drawing without posting many updates. I'll probably post some layer separations, but I ended up making a lot of messy ones that I gotta organize first lol

I was definitely inspired by the Bad Guys trailer, but also by DeathLoop, which I looked at  for most of the color and background styles. Hope you like it :P

More progress. I like how the bike turned out, but I can't decide how to color the first guy yet.

Idea I'm currently working on: two crimesters making an escape on a dirtbike. Managed to come up with this idea working on my last art trade ^^

Unfinished Project (Animatic) - "The Fish"

While I was working on the comic, it occurred to me that I completely forgot about storyboards! Here's something you can take a look at between the next comic update if you'd like.

Basically, while I was dabbling in writing the world for my comic, I also attempted to storyboard / thumbnail two Protogen-based short-films. This is the second one I tried, and its the only scribbly-animatic-board-thing that I ever "finished" from start to end. The short is about a Protogen who's tasked with...

Comic Update - WIP

Hey everyone! So-- there's been a big change in direction of the comic. I've left the previous attempt on the backburner in favor of a comic that explores the protagonist (Wesley)'s origins instead. I think it adds way more to the previous comic than the other one would have, so I'm pretty excited :3

I've rough-doodled pretty much 95% of the pages (about 11), but for now I'm only going to show 3 random ones, minus the dialogue, until I'm ready to show the whole thing cleaned up a little...

Small Update

Hey guys,

It sort've occurred around my birthday last week that I tripped up my schedule due to some stress, so there hasn't been many updates lately. Sorry about that!

I'm still working on the comic, and I'm coming up on more solid ideas. I'll be sharing it soon, as well as finishing that 'Tired Proto' drawing I started ^^

Thanks <3

WIP Comic Update - "Respite" (3)

Welp. I know I said I was going to try and update the comic more regularly, but since it's been a while (again), I decided I'd fill you guys in on what's been keeping me busy with this thing.

Basically, I've been considering making the worldbuilding more clear by having narration over the panels, which involved re-arranging them. But as I went on, I had an idea on a new way of introducing the comic that might be more character-focused. ...Which ended up involving writing another outline...

WIP Comic Update - "Respite" (2)

Still going at it. Slowly. xD

Here's three more pages I've scribbled. From now on, I'm going to be trying to gain more momentum on this, since it's been a while since the last update.

Scene context: The nanites are taken to a camp where salvage is traded in exchange for goods. In this case, the salvagers receive a handsome reward of seeds and fertilizer. The salvagers ride past an approaching glacier with their bounty-- not knowing that they're being watched by an otherworldly fig...

Here's the last two. I'm pretty satisfied leaving it here! Gonna hold off on posting this publicly for a bit, since there's a chance something special will go along with it. :]
