Comic Report #123.1 - By Leaps And Bounds
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 22:45:19 +0000 UTCHere's where I've landed this week. I keep waffling between "this page won't be so bad" and "oh I really did get myself into trouble with this one". There aren't that many panels, the backgrounds are fairly simple, but there are a lot of very specific characters here with a lot of very specific lighting, so I'm just gonna have to grind through it. Needless to say, I'm grateful this year is a leap year, I got one extra day to plug away at this.
One of the points I realized after I'd finished inking this page was, I hadn't planned for where my light sources were going to be. The room is dark, there's no overhead lights, so it's going to have to be a candlelight meeting, and that meant my lighting is going to have to reflect that. That is both cool (I love dynamic lighting!) and terrifying! (Oh I have to do dynamic lighting on many subjects here.) I've started marking down where in 3D space the candles should be so I can start painting my light around them.
I've got a long road ahead of me so I'm just gonna leave it at that and move forward. Depending on how late I run it this week the next textless page might be the update for next Friday, since I can see myself running right up to the 29th into the 1st and I don't know that I can fit additional stuff in for another post after this one is ready. I'm just gonna do my best. Thanks for checking in! There's gonna be a whole lot of painting waiting for you to see within the week so please look forward to that. Until then, have a nice weekend!
