Description
This is a look at the process I went through in creating my recent Galactus AP:Really, it's the different stages at which point I send my clients a cell cam shot for approval before I move on to the next stage. So we have:
- Quickie prelim
- Finished pencils - When I'm pencilling for myself this stage is generally a lot less tight than what you see here. I refine my pencils a goodly bit when someone is paying me their hard-earned money.
- Initial inks
- Finished inks - There's usually just one inking stage, but here he wanted some really harsh, ominous lighting, so I went with getting approval at two stages. I also did a LOT of hatching in these inks, and that gets lost in the final color scan (though not the card itself) so it makes me happy to be able to show it
- Finished trading card

Just realized I might be an artist and not even know it. If only there was a call for the quickie prelim that takes an hour.
