Future Retro Hero Story Vol 4 Redraw Layout Practice

Yo!

As part of my slowing things down, I've been putting myself at task in improving my work! Whether it be details in my drawing to better looking abstract backgrounds and whatever! Part of this, as you may have noticed in the past two Bodysuit 23 pages, is my trying to improve my panel layouts! To do this, Cooper has tasked me with doing a quick rough doodle of comics so as to get a better idea on how professionals do it and better understand why they set it up as they do.

So th...

Why haven't I gone to bed doodle

I should invest in better drawing equipment for traditional media.

I continue my ditching of the old panel layouts for this newer one! When I got done with the inking yesterday, I looked at it and went "Wow, Bodysuit 23 actually feels like a legit comic now!" Sure, it always was, but it feels like it has taken a massive step in improvement! Or the very least it feels that way to me. What do y'all think?

Had my televisit with the transgender clinic's doctor on Friday. My blood work looked great according to her, with my hormone levels in a good spot. I ...

Style Practice

Since updates are slow, I figured I'd start posting some of the various practices and studies and junk I do to show what all I'm doing with the lessend stress and workload!
Here I tried copying the expression from this panel from volume 5 of future retro hero story!

"Pay What Ya Want" Stream This Saturday!

Long story short I need to earn a little extra dough to help with medical bills I've recently received/will be receiving in the near future!

Hello, hello! How've y'all been?

I went to the doctor's office on Friday and got blood work done, then walked across the street via a sky bridge and got an x-ray done on my chest. Then Saturday I went to the transgender clinic and got another round of blood work done! I get a call from the clinic on Friday to go over the numbers, then a call early next week to go over the results from the doctor's office, and THEN I'm off to see a heart specialist on Monday the next week! Whew!

I think I'm finally figuring out which brushes I like the most to do those old anime effect backgrounds. Its taken a bit, but I'm reaching the point now where I don't have to spend as long with experimenting as before. However, I am trying to collect screenshots/photos of ones I come across so that I can use for reference later. 2024-04-04 02:19:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Salutations! How have y'all been? I hope things have been swell for you!

I've been doing moderately okay. Since the shit storm that was last week I've been trying to take things slower and easier. On top of cutting back on comic work at this time, I've been slowing down my pace on my walks and the like, and generally trying to relax when possible, even though it results in me bumming around and not actually doing much. "Oh! I'll play some games or watch anime!" - me this past weekend wh...

Update Schedule During Slow Down

First off, I want to thank everyone who's wished me well during this rough period. I'm very thankful to have a kind and understanding readership, and wouldn't have been drawing as long as I have without y'all.

I've figured a schedule for how I'm going to update both Bodysuit 23 and Kat during the week. My plan is to split the week in half between each comic, with Monday-Wednesday dedicated to Bodysuit 23 and the rest of the week for Kat. This means that I'll be posting the finished Body...

How I develop stories.

Self Portrait

I tried getting back on the saddle to start working on B23, but I felt nauseous and couldn't get myself to do it at the moment. So as to get myself to do SOMETHING, I figured I'd doodle myself. Here's me as of March 2024. I am a tired mess of a slob wearing ill-fitting clothes.

Scaling Back To 1 Update A Week For The Next Month(ish)

Long story short if you want skip it: I'm over worked, I'm sick, and I finally broke down yesterday and cried. I can't keep it up right now.

For the longer story, keep on reading. Just note that whatever is written here I am not in the mood to really get into it on Discord and such. I plan to make dinner and try to relax before returning to work tomorrow. So if you reach out to me and such and I ignore you, don't take it personal.

No update tonight.

Mounting stress combined with lack of sleep and falling behind on work has broken me today. Sorry.

Drawing these kids have been a blast.

What wasn't a blast was having to redo parts of the roughs on the last three panels. Not sure how I managed it, but I deleted the rough body layer, leaving me with just their hair floating about. I did not realize it until I had gone too far and did a a bunch of additional work, only to zoom out and go "Aw fuck." I ctrl z'd as fast as possible, except I ran out of undos and the layer was still clear. Since I had already done it it didn't take that l...

It's time for another episode of "Megazone's back on their bullshit again!" Coming to you multiple times a week!

I like how the kids turned out. Some wound up being better than others IMO, but as a whole I think there's a nice diverse group of little bastards who are gonna ruin your day by pelting you with snowballs. They're gonna be much more entertaining to read compared to my original idea of mostly generic kids. My goal is that by the time the story progresses on without them, you'l...

Fuck All Weekend

While I technically did a few hours of work fixing a few panels and some prep work for Kat and Bodysuit 23, I went into the weekend with the idea of relaxing. On Saturday I wound up spending the entire day playing Ys VI, something I've been meaning to play for years now to complete the trilogy of VI/Felghana/Origins. While it wasn't as tight as the later entries due to being first in that particular format, it was still a lot of fun! And it being a 10-12ish hour game your first time meant I w...
