Undercover Mishap (Complete)
Added 2021-09-28 12:49:43 +0000 UTCUPDATE: I got a blessed day off and spent a good 8 hours sorting the rest of the main comic panels out. The archive links of both the intro and the main comic are now available, and I have also embedded the individual pages above - painstakingly trying to make them appear in the right order. Hope you enjoy it, and thank you, as always :)

I fought for a long time to find good solutions to matters like speech and narration bubble designs, what fonts to use, and so forth, trying to emulate the googling I've done of present-day DC comics to the best of my ability while sticking to programs that don't cost a premium. As such, while I have no experience in comic making, and very little in comic reading (at least western comics) as well, I eventually settled on CSP to streamline the process.
Font sizes and the likes may look a bit big on computer monitors, but the goal is for the comic to be readable on all devices without excessive reliance on zoom functions and the likes - in that sense, I hope my stance on accessibility does not detract from the overall presentation and enjoyment of it all.
Needless to say, I don't want them to get in the way of the good stuff - so I'll be monitoring this, and the feedback, closely.
Images are 1080P renders at significantly higher sample rates than I usually run at, so they should look crispy. While I consider the speech bubble design and so on to be simplistic, I also think they're good enough for me to be comfortable to share the material in question - though I imagine I will learn more as I go. Creating more comics is, after all, part of the plan for this patreon in order to have more avenues by which to stimulate my creativity - so hopefully you enjoy it!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words! Fingers crossed that this little experiment of mine is a good proof of concept and that people enjoy the narrative and the likes for what it is :)
Take care of yourselves, and each other!

Great comic, loved the writing, can't wait to see more like it. I think this is your best.

2021-10-03 04:18:58 +0000 UTCIt's largely unknown even to me where I'll be taking this particular comic, so I cannot say for sure. Do expect Wonder Woman to come up more in the future though :)

2021-10-02 15:10:01 +0000 UTCI have a question for the future of the series. Will Batman and Wonder Woman have a scene together by the end or alongside Joker?

2021-10-02 11:05:15 +0000 UTCWonder Woman is far from my favorite of the models, but the comic was so well written and the images were so good, it was still quite enjoyable. I'd love to see something like this with the Mass Effect girls.

2021-10-01 16:20:54 +0000 UTCWith renders being 15-20 minutes per frame, animating any bits of this comic is sadly unfeasible.

2021-10-01 07:31:44 +0000 UTCAny chance of seeing an animation of picture 51?

2021-09-30 21:41:09 +0000 UTCFantastic work! I very much look forward to seeing what other comics you have in store!

2021-09-29 19:09:14 +0000 UTCBY FAR my favorite thing you've ever made and that's saying a lot! Please make more comics!

2021-09-29 16:10:19 +0000 UTCWe are already in context, this is getting hotter and hotter

2021-09-29 13:31:07 +0000 UTCFor future comics, having a few animations break into it might be doable, but here render times are simply too high to make that feasible sadly

2021-09-29 06:22:23 +0000 UTCWill you have any gifs for some of the comic panels?
2021-09-29 00:54:06 +0000 UTCAmazing work so far. I love pictures with text/story as well, so this comic format is amazing! Thanks so much!

2021-09-28 20:00:54 +0000 UTCI have a few more pages ready already which I intend to upload by tomorrow. I'll make sure to click the notification on the post when I've got it completed as well, in case people rather read the whole thing in one go :)

2021-09-28 19:55:03 +0000 UTCWhen do you think you will upload the rest of the comic?

2021-09-28 16:16:20 +0000 UTCThis is awesome.

2021-09-28 15:48:20 +0000 UTCNow I have to search for myself to see if Amateur Street Walkers #7 does indeed play Careless Whisper. That is some serious copyright infringement, if true.

2021-09-28 15:02:55 +0000 UTCI like What I am see So far

2021-09-28 13:07:34 +0000 UTCAwww okay i can understand that, and thank you for having that in mind for the future projects! I'll definately be around :)

2021-09-28 13:04:43 +0000 UTCGlad you like it! Enhanced variants might, perhaps, be something to consider for future projects that feature less demanding models. The renders are already finished for this one, and since the poses for the main comic have not been made with Enhanced in mind and with the brutal rendering times I am facing, it sadly makes it unfeasible for this one.

2021-09-28 12:57:27 +0000 UTCOh i can't wait for the rest :D Could you, for the rest, do an anhanced version too please? It would be dope to have both options!
