Description And since many people asked for a tutorial- but it's sort of impossible for me- I present you the process of each page (most of the times-some other times I just scream at my tablet)


I will try and make a much more analytical tutorial but for now this will have to do.

The work you put into this comic is kind of mind-blowing.  So beautiful!  (I just read the entire thing in one sitting, such a great story!)

This is great! I'm curious - how long does it take for you to fully create a page, if I may ask?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DrSlug In reply to joulester [2012-04-04 19:05:54 +0000 UTC]

Well up and down about 7 to 9 hours altogether I would say but it all depends on the day

You mean set the layout?

Chasitys In reply to DrSlug [2012-04-02 20:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes. There's something about your particular layouts that's unique but still simple, and I love that.

DrSlug In reply to Chasitys [2012-04-02 21:30:13 +0000 UTC]

Well to be honest I always chose to emphasize on the frames that have the biggest impact on the story.That way, a close-up or a big frame really focuses on the point you are making. Some other times I have no idea what I am doing

DrSlug In reply to C4nC4n [2012-04-01 07:06:57 +0000 UTC]

It's all done digitally in Photoshop. I add a new layer decrease the opacity of the brush and it's basically white strokes all over the place

Ουφ! Και μόνο που το είδα, κουράστηκα! Τι να πω; Πολλή (καλή) δουλειά…
Να επισημάνω το εξής: εμένα μ’ αρέσουν αποκλειστικά τα flat χρωματάκια (ζήτημα συνήθειας/παιδείας), αλλά όταν βλέπεις το βήμα «Let there be light», ε, είναι δύσκολο να μην εντυπωσιαστείς· προσφέρει τόσο πολύ σε υφή και σε όγκο στις φιγούρες…

DrSlug In reply to Orestix [2012-03-30 10:10:50 +0000 UTC]

Χεχ ε ναι είναι κουραστικό αλλά γουστάρω Πράγματι στα comics τα flats είναι πιο συνηθισμένα (χωρίς αυτό να είναι κακό) αλλά πάντα παίζει ρόλο και το στύλ. Το συγκεκριμένο ούτως η άλλως πιο πολύ σε storyboard φέρνει παρά σε comic

DrSlug In reply to Calick [2012-03-30 05:37:57 +0000 UTC]

It's all done digitally to save on time.I turn the opacity of the brush to 30% it gives to the line a sketchy feeling.

How long you needed to make this picture?

DrSlug In reply to Daniela-Baez [2012-03-30 05:37:04 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the detail.For example this one (since there are no backgrounds) didn't take that long.But we are talking about 7 hours altogether for sure
