triceragation update
hey there pasty boy
triceragation update
yup that is working for me. took all day to finish the inking all them mechanical bits, so next time i will just do what i did with the last space folio and render out a freestyle layer. that will take care of 70% of the back ground lines (though it does not do well with organic shapes)this one needs just a bit more sh...
peak update
lets get that color back in
triceragation update
darn. with this line work i am thinking i just want to do the simple digital colors with a single sharp shadow.
demon quest update
like Bald space monkeys, this comic will just be in my normal style. no experimental processes to try out with this
philophana update
that pass of refinement is done. now for the next pass of polish
triceragation update

peak wulf update
was a good work day. finally got some time to just focus on getting things done
bald space monkey update
i thought about going back to edit the design, but this is not a main character and i will be filling back grounds with them so it would be inefficient to try and perfect background characters
peak wulf update
had a LOT of errands to do today so not much to update
Bald Space Monkey: the Asylum contract
Arthur Risker and Jenny Bounnce are in a bit of a legal bind. Due to her planet not yet inducted or even truly aware of te greater galactic federation she is not with Risker "legaly". She must file for "asylum" or else she will be sent back to her planet and most likely incarcerated for the rest of her ...
pencil tests
i like the lowest panel so far. however i want to try this again but just ink the lines traditionallyor maybe really polish up the digital line work and then print it out so i can make it pencils againjust some different ideas to really lock down the process i want

putting in that sweet sweet details
trying the new scanner
well, some interesting discoveries from last night. with my new printer came a big 11/17 scanner that i thought would be just meh. turns out when i use it with the VueScan program it works better then my epson perfection
orca sploosh update
basic shadows added
nope
nope this first attempt did not work. i am way too rusty with pencils. the idea is to have really nice pencil rendering then use flat digital colors on the final product.
lillian 3d update
this morning was taken up with fixing Lillian's UV maps so they will take textures and Normal maps. then i started adding in her skin details. this will take a whilealso i printed out the cover of Triceragation and worked on it with pencils to see if i liked the results. right now i am trying to get a good scan of ...
orca sploosh
ok the flats are fixed now this folio will be more "comic shade" then the normal painted over 3d i tend to have. i initially tried this way because i thought it would be faster and more vibrant....nopeso now it's just about making it look good
orca sploosh update
i thought about turning these into traditional illustrations, but i had so much put into them that i figured it'd be too much re-working. so i am cleaning up the base colors before putting the shadows and highlights back in
oh beehave update
this will be an interesting experiment. i have a few more experimental ideas that i will try out on some of my line works i never colored. such as coloring with copics right after i print then add in more details with pencil and colored pencil. i will have to do the pencils after the copics because if you try to put an...
an inky kiss
did this in the morning. going to ink the whole folio then start coloring it with copics water color and gouache
