Comic project start - StarVeil short story
🕑 Added 2021-08-09 05:25:57 +0000 UTCHey!
Hope you're well! Here's something I've been meaning to do since 2018, this is the start(well, this is the 2nd page) of a short story I wrote/designed/thumbnailed and never got around to finishing. Back then I had some hesitancy about what brush and style I'd use for the final comic - but now I feel like I'm more than ready to knock it out and finish it. This story is around 20 pages so it should be pretty manageable. I wanted to get the ball rolling again on all of the unfinished projects I have already(basically) completed aside from the actual artwork.
The first page I started tonight, really only got that first panel done - and I don't usually do this, but I wanted to see how the final of the comic might look before I went ahead and inked everything - I'm really happy with the look so far! The last two images are old concept art I did of the characters back in 2018.
Looking forward to sharing more as it comes along!
Thanks as always for your support!

StarVeil was one of the first things i saw from you, the animated panels always hyped me up. The style was super striking and i was always wondering if you'd go back to it.

Awesome work! Is Starveil going to be a series of short stories? I read the old Starveil you posted a while back.

Thanks! I don't really recall what that was - I generally don't do environments on their own, but if it was around 2018 that's probably when I started trying that style - a lot of those older pages I did for tests on this project turned out way too ugly though, I needed to find a better inking brush like I have here

I hope so! I'm going to work out this short story and see how I want to approach the next bit. At the moment I'm trying to keep things doable and work in chunks of comic at a time - so we'll see where I get!

Thanks! I'm not too sure really, I've just always been attracted to the pastel colors in general with bits of saturated colors thrown in for some contrast - but I think in general I just gravitate to this style

Looking great :D Is this the same as those Moebius-esque environments you had done right around that time?

Your art style is fantastic and I've enjoyed all your posts this far, but thus is what I've been waiting for! This looks so dope! Can't wait to see the finished story!!!
