Chapter: Part 1 - Chapter 4
Another page that was livestreamed along with Amy (and now Nancy) of O31. If you’re catching this update early the stream is actually probably still going on, I’ll be drawing some character designs for chapter 6 which I’ll most likely post a little later tomorrow as a vote incentive. New vote incentive! Character headshot for chapter 6.
No vote incentive today which I feel a bit bad about since I have a lot of concept work that needs doing before this chapter finishes. Still, Monday maybe? There was also a brief hiccup on the site last night where apparently it was totally hogging CPU and my hosting provider blocked access to the site briefly. I’ve installed WP Super Cache to alleviate the problem, and it seems to have worked, but if anyone’s having issues with the site please don’t hesitate to e-mail me or leave a comment here.
The blog post for this comic was lost in the great purge o’ aught-nine. :<
Hiss, spit. They love each other, really.
Trying out a new font, what’s the verdict? I think I like it better than the last one at any rate, though feedback is definitely welcome. Typography is not my strong point.
The new vote incentive is Renshou’s design for this scene, though I never quite got around to finishing it entirely. Good enough for a general idea, though.
I’m completely blanking on anything to say about this page, other than I couldn’t help but subtly adjust the colour scheme so it’s a little less blaring, mainly in the shadows. All things considered, this page has probably been one of the easiest so far. Hooray!
The vote incentive is the sketch stage of the page, which is, believe or not, far less messy than it would usually be.
Hooray, fun in the sun. New colour scheme makes me happy. Not much to say about this one, just that Sai is, in fact, leaving – he’s not “Councillor Jiao”, as will be made abundantly clear in the next page.
The vote incentive is one of the character designs I scrabbled together for this scene. Organised, I am not.
I decided to jump right into chapter 2*, though I’ll probably draw and backdate a cover at some point**. And this is just a big page of “look I can too draw backgrounds” after all the blurry rubbish backdrops from the last chapter. Poorly lit flats are the worst.
I didn’t want to do anything lame like stick the location name in a box on the page, since I hope you’re all smart enough to realise this is, in fact, an entirely different place from the last scene. Please tell me you can see that. If not, I give up.
Anyway, the vote incentive is some concept art for Dakaia (the city) that I drew to try and get a feel for the different architecture, though I decided to pick a less blazing colour scheme for the final page.
Edit: Ahhhh! 😀 Lookit! Non-cow related RMR fanart. Awesome!
*Note from the future: This used to be the opening for chapter 2.
**Another note from the future: It’s 2013 and I still haven’t done this, somehow.
