FIRST PAGE

(Ooh, who's that at the end? It's a mystery.)

Well, that was a nice little thing. I do still feel like Steve turns around a bit quickly, but really they were given about as much time to do so as you could reasonably hope for in a 4-page story.

This page features the other "key visual" which was in my head from the beginning.

Top to bottom: early concept sketch; first layout test; second layout test; rough; final. That very specific image of the rising sun lighting up the mountains in the background, then Steve's tired face, never went away. I like the way the light feels in those two panels.

I think I did a pretty good job overall considering my inexperience with digital painting with brushes, ESPECIALLY for backgrounds. I think page 1 suffered a little as a result of my novice status, but I learned in time to make the rest look pretty good. I look forward to learning even more and surpassing this in future!
