Sci-fi/Fantasy Webcomics
This is the early process work for Page 25. I have 4 separate sketchbooks that I use in making this comic. They are: my Script-book, my Thumbnails Sketchbook, my Concepts Sketchbook (where I write ideas for the world and story), and my General Sketchbook where I hash out the details of the pages and do any… Continue reading Early Process of a Comic Page: Script, Thumbnail, and Colorscripts
The page is about 90% done. Here is panel 1, the rest will go up around lunch. : )
Thursday will be the 1 year anniversary of when I posted the first page of The Pelkern Cycle. Hooray! Here is a drawing I drew for it. : ) I have improved at drawing characters quite a bit since I first started making comics 4 years ago. One thing I am still struggling with is… Continue reading 1 Year Anniversary for The Pelkern Cycle
The Pelkern Cycle had an earlier phase that was based on a Sci-Fi premise. The coolest part of that idea were the elite warriors called Strikers who were trained to break through the force fields of cities. There was a lot that didn’t work with that particular story iteration, so I eventually shifted away from… Continue reading Paul the Striker
Page 33 will go up this afternoon. : )
In the meantime, here is a concept design drawing I did for Sol, back in 2017.
I had some trouble fine-tuning the expressions on this page, so it’s going up a little late this week. 😀
I have been brainstorming some new ideas to see if I can make pages faster. One idea I’m investigating is the possibility of doing the comic in black and white. When I was getting my painting degree, I did several black & white paintings and drawings, which I enjoyed quite a bit. Here is some… Continue reading Icarus (from my university days)
These past two weeks I have experimented with different options for making my overall process to be faster. I made a significant change to my inking process–I’ll only be doing woodcut style only in parts (like hair and clothing wrinkles), and then use drawing regular lines for the rest. Grayscale didn’t work out the way… Continue reading Page 35 going up later today
This week’s post is about some 3D concept art I’ve been doing. I’ve been using Lego bricks to build caverns for Pelkern. This is to help me make comic pages with backgrounds that work as a three dimensional space, and are consistent panel to panel. I have mostly been building caverns, then deconstructing the caverns,… Continue reading 3D World Design using Bricks 🙂
