First off…I hope everyone had a great holiday! I know I did! My wife got me Scott Pilgrim and I have watched it at least 5 times so far. The books are still better of course, but it’s just a well put together movie IMO.
So about today’s comic….As you can see it has been left uncolored and that will probably be corrected within the week, but I wanted to get this out today. I will probably do that more in the future because I hate sitting on a comic just because I haven’t had a chance to color it yet. Another reason is because I really like my black and white pencil line work better. While my work still has a long way to go I think my raw drawings are so much better before I butcher them with ink and color. I have finally resumed my tablet training and maybe this time I’ll stick to it long enough to get some results, then who knows…Maybe I can finally transition my comics to all digital, but I will need to upgrade my tablet before that can happen. Anyway, I know I did a poll awhile back, but we have doubled maybe tripled our reader base since then so I’m curious to what you guys think…Do you like the ink/color or do you like the pencil drawings instead?
As for the comic itself we are moving through chapter 2 at a good pace and I’m really excited about things to come. I recently read some discussion about how long this timeline/chapter will go and while I don’t wanna give away too much, It’s probably safe to say that you can get comfortable as there is a lot of story to be told in the current timeline. As for a number of chapters, I can’t really say just because i don’t really know the answer…Hope that helps.
Also, I will be adding bios and a “story so far” page soon and probably a few format changes to the comic itself, so keep your eyes peeled….or something. 😉
So till next time…I Hope everyone has a great week!
I agree with you that your penciled drawings do look better. They have more “character”. But you should definitely continue to advance your coloring, because you may discover techniques that can recapture that certain charm, or even surpass the quality of your penciled drawings. As is, though, I still think that color is better for the webcomic format.
I think I like the coloured better. Either way I read and love it. But I’d also say, it’s good to experiment and find out what looks awesome, and what looks better than awesome.
Darn tootin’, aniki!
I’m new to you comic by about a month. Tho I read it all in one day, I would say I like the pencil more. Because it adds character Big time, and I for one don’t like coloring my art work because when i’m done I feel as if it’s not the same quality.
