Comic Report #23.1 - Narrative To Go

Added 2017-04-06 22:04:07 +0000 UTC

So I said I was gonna try to get my Patreon updates back to Wednesday after being pushed to Friday, but I had to work on some commission art over the weekend and Fri, Half of Sun, Mon wasn't enough time to put a dent in my art so I'm taking the incremental approach and hitting Thursday on this cycle.

My background plan from last week came along nicely- it looks like just any old backgrounds, but if you follow the story and pick out the landmarks you can tell where, spatially, they are and in what direction they're moving. This is probably a completely inconsequential detail but I love factoring these sorts of things into my comics. Backgrounds are a very big deal to me and I go to great pains to keep them consistent and give them their own character.

With just two more panels to go I should have this page done by the end of the weekend, if not sooner. I know last time I said that I had it finished within a day or two, but I expect the last panel interior perspective shot to give me a hard time working out the lighting and shadow and looking up what paintings were where on the walls. After this page is done I'll switch back to my one-week-comic one-week-gamedev cycle so I can keep making art assets for that.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for continuing to support my work!
