Two more done

Two easy ones left to do.

Then I do a finish pass on all 31.

Some of them are very lazily done. 

It will almost be a new piece doing a finish.

 Finished. One more and it's the slog of revision.

TaDa. Now to revise. Going to have a hard look at all of them tomorrow. Hope I really only have to dig into half of them.

Pretty amazing footage. 

Tuesday- More EnWorld

Rough.
Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu is my jump off for this Oriental Vampire.

Going to do something different this time.

Ordinarily I would start coloring this pencil stage.

This time I'll ink this drawing and clean it up. Then color something nice and clean. Basic Comic Book style procedure. Using the Muji pens and Fud Kuratake brush.

It will also differ in being very black, high contrast.

Inks. The only knock against the muji ballpoints, is that rolling over pencils, they get cloggy.

But a great tool all in all. Feels like doodling in school.

Prepping Trophy for a digital dispersal-

Cover from interior art

This is where the story will end up. 

You should be able to read it on a smart phone. 

I'll let you know when it is published.
Available here on Free Comics Day

Most of the prep work involved creation of these two new pages.

Made one mistake. Like Lulu, the cover is separate.
But I included the cover in the zip file.
No biggy. 

Customer gets the cover twice.
 

Made the effort to start over

Passed a judgement of the version on top "this sucks." Not to mention it sucking my time.

Went to the web, got horses and dogs.

Made silhouettes of everything I got.

2nd easier to read result on the bottom.

Where a few pieces will go

This took about 3 hours to do.

The rough was too blurry. Usually I can use the rough, but here I had to paint into it. I suspect I uprezzed something that was scanned way too low rez.

Also made the mistake of not being simple enough.

I satisfied way early on the rough.

More to come. 7 maybe.

This guys asks about Tim's Vermeer by suggesting 'Consider the source'

Article- 10 reasons I doubt Tim's Vermeer

I've decided I'm also a skeptic.

Initially one of my bumps was when he decides to make his own pigments.

Crayola sketch wizard. Pretty cheap. 

And one person nails why skepticism is called for. Vermeer worked using glazed layers. Tim is Alla Prima. The bottom value study of Vermeer guided every other drop of paint that went on top. Something not even mentioned in the doc.
The original transcription of the scene, the bottom layer? Maybe an aid here or there.
Like the article writer points out parallax and distortion are constant headaches with Tim's tool.
My bet is Vermeer's only tool was a grid to peer through. Matched by a light grid on canvas.
