I reach a point where I tend to go 'augh I've been photoshopping forever, my wrist is cracking NO MOOOORE' after about three or four hours, which fortunately is what it takes me to fully shade a page as long as I've already put the text and backgrounds together... and even without if I can just copy a background from before.
This page had no background reference so I had to draw a new one. Okay, no problem. I wanted a map in the background. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...kaaay... nooooo... four hours later... problem...
Yeah.
So.
I spent as much time on that freaking map as I did the rest of the page. I may make a large version available if the co-conspiritor behind the world's cool with it.
Anyway, I did the panels out of order. I did all the backgrounds first (since I had to do a new background) and then I did the two inset panels, then the bottom panels, then the top. I started running out of steam around the fourth panel, and then on the last one I did kinda crashed. So it's a bit rougher around the edges. By edges I mean things like hands, Gotel's pose, etc. Normally I'd polish those if I wasn't happy with them or entirely redo them. Oh well. Maybe later. I'm done with the computer for the night.
@Ironscarf Man, what a great review! Thanks! I'm certainly trying to pitch emotions subtly into the blend and present the whole faded dreams story. -Posted on Mar 13, 2010 |
