ARGHHHHHH

this is the 2nd time i'm writing this.. 1st time the browser crashed. BASTARD!!!

anyway this is now the condensed explanation of each step... urghhh

LARGE-ish FILE

1 - RAWSCAN of a page of SINBAD : Rogue of Mars #1. No touch-ups, no edits. it's a raw scan.
It's scanned in GREYSCALE mode.

2) - levelled out the lines.
Used this basic method -> [link] <-

3) - Converted file into CMYK mode for colour purposes.
Did my usual 'colour hold' thing, where i turn the main outlines black, and the inner lines a blue-grey.

4) - Painted the backgrounds.
I do this 1st to let me see how I'd colour up the characters.
Whatchu' see here is the backgrounds minus the lineart.

5) - Flats are added.
Along w/ the colour flats, details such as Pupils, tatts, scars etc are added.
NOTE: this is usually the longest process for me.

6) - Minor shades are added.
Gives me more of an idea of where the light's hitting the characters etc.

7) - Main Highights and more shades are added.
This basically defines where the direct light hits each character and helps shape them alot more.

8) - Red Tint and Glow are added on the characters
The tint is added to set the whole mood and atmosphere of Mars, as is also why the highlight glows are added.
Makes it Pop more i think.

9) - Final touches and it's Complete.
Basically added some shines on the metal areas aswell as add a minor skylight to add to the atmosphere.

so yeh, that's it. COMPLETE minus the dialogue.
