July COMICS CHALLENGE - Get Stuff Done!

[ricardoaltuna]

Today I finished the pencils for those two panels. Still not 100% convinced about the one with the girl attacking the guy but It'll have to do. =P

Workin on another chapter and really am enjoying the start of it:

"I wanted to run, I truly wanted to. But my feet were frozen into the ground; for all I could do was stand there and look and horror. Celia dashes pass me, attempting to grab my arm and drag me down to the stairwell, but all I saw was red hot anger. How dare they do this to her? How dare they do this to me? I wasn't mad, I was pissed.

“Who do you think you are?” I shout at the two men running our way. they held swords while wearing glimmering armor, but that didn't intimidate me in the slightest. I felt my claws elongate and my fangs grow as anger bubbles deep within me. I wasn't mad just during this one time, this was for everything they've done to me. F*** this Kingdom, f*** this damn King. I will kill him, and I will have a great time doing it.

“We are part of the royal military,” one of the men says as he holds up his sword. But to me it is nothing but a mere stick, I didn't care if it is a sword or spear or anything like that, I would have my revenge.

I look at Celia deep into her eyes, and I give her a small, smug smile,” you're not stopping me this time.” "

Haven’t done much other than finding my binder. I spent a couple days in Boston which I think counts as research!

This holds all of the secrets

Today, I colored the first panel on the page. Here's a (somewhat color-corrected) photo of what I can show you:

[JeanGuillet]

well today was mostly sanding cabinets but I did get to lay out next week's comic and sketch it. 16 frames. eh, that's pretty average for me. messy messy sketch 1 here.

[FafasMcMelt]

it's still 07/03 somewhere, I'm sure

Anyways, busy day, so all I managed to do was flatten the colors. Even though that's the part of the process the page arguably looks the worst, I'm glad I managed to get it done!

Summary

Trying some Shedal's emotions. He looks really awkward because I don't know how to manipulate his face yet

[gabriellabalagna]

Happy 4th day of Comics Challenge and Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

Here's what I got done today, baby Kenneth. It was really hard figuring out his proportions, but I think it turned out. Next I just need to draw his clothes on top.

[gabriellabalagna]

@ricardoaltuna Yeah, sometimes poses can be just so hard. I know you're not 100% happy with this, but I still think it looks pretty dynamic.

@EncryptedWriting I really like that last line. Even without pictures, I can completely imagine the look on their face.

@renaissancebadger Oooh is that a zentangle? Love all those little details.

@Scarlet_Cryptid The lighting looks .

@JeanGuillet Nice, do you always do around the same number of frames? Or does it vary a lot per episode?

@inubasket Time well spent, looks great!

@Llyrel Wow, you're really good at backgrounds!

@kelspeterson7 I think it's looking good! Love Shedal's face shape, it's like angular, but still some soft lines too, don't know how to explain it.

[KiabIce]

working in thumbnails!!! I have not ever did this before.

[FafasMcMelt]

Today I started messing with the shading. God willing, I'll finish the page tomorrow

[Rocksteady_Comics]

@KiabIce those thumbnails look great! Is it easier planning pages in a big batch like that?

@FafasMcMelt That page is shaping up to look amazing. Those lightning effects are incredible!

[Scarlet_Cryptid]

Whew. Busy day of work, party preparations, cooking, guests, and clean-up, but I DID manage to shoe-horn in a little over an hour of time to color. Here's part of the second panel on that page, with the edges of a few uncolored elements visible:

[Rocksteady_Comics]

Yesterday I managed to finish up next Tuesday's page. Today I wasn't as productive, but I did finally finish the new cover that I've been meaning to complete for a month and a half or so.

[JeanGuillet]

Well I finished my inks, finished my flat colors, and was just getting started on grayscaling when I got distracted and did some oil painting for this or next week's landscape. Mr. Evil makes evil face.

@gabriellabalagna. I try to keep my weekly episodes over 12 frames and under 24. Seems to work for me giving me a good target for production while also enabling at least a few things to happen per episode. What kind of frames-per-week rate do you aim for?

[ricardoaltuna]

Welp! guess I failed the challenge, I wasn't able to work on Auster at all yesterday I'm just gonna ignore that yesterday happened and just keep going for the rest of the month.

[gabriellabalagna]

No worries, just keep moving forward.

[gabriellabalagna]

That seems like a good amount. For my finished comic, Derailed, I was doing 5-6 panels per week. But yeah, not much could happen with so few panels.

For the comic I'm currently developing, Kindred Not, I'm hoping to aim for 10 panels per week. It's not a lot, but at least it's doable for me.
