As the comic becomes more and more complex (and I use the term “complex” very loosely) it requires a lot more effort to push through the idea that I have onto paper, so to speak. Because of this, it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain quality on a black background. The white lines on black background worked very well when the line work was minimal, but white is so much easier to work with now.
In addition, I started adding color. This is just to make it easier to express depth and relate importance to things that I think require it. I will probably keep this format for some time, as I already see a difference in the quality and “lookability,” if I may make up a word for a second here. Things seem to pop more from the background, and I guarantee that there will be far less feeling of not knowing what an object is or where it is in relation to the characters.
I know at least two of you have asked what the new update schedule is, and the answer to that is every Tuesday and Friday. I know I was going three times a week for a while, but I’m just trying to be as realistic as possible with my time.
Very insightful
I’ve always been fascinated at runway models myself, and how people are crazy over them when they pretty much look like anorexic 12 year old boys…
