Liberatuer Webcomic

 I was looking through the beginning of the comic and I could help be cringe at the pacing, writing, and art of it all. In a way it shows how I’ve improved as a comic artist and it has allowed me to grow and further process closer to a higher standard.  I still wish I had the time to go back and drastically change everything but in a way it displays the transitions and improvements I’ve made to the comic.  The whole process and improvements of the art and concepts have show a drastic fluctuating improvement of my digital artwork, and this journey has helped me improve at a higher rate than my usual drawing schedule would allow. 

Basically what has been happening is that chapter is closing down, and I’m contemplating making it longer and ending the comic there or just ending it and making a final smaller chapter which I’ll most likely do because I think the ending needs it own chapter which will wrap everything up in a nice box. If you know what a I mean. I’ve seen an obvious improvement as I continue my journey through this comic creating process and plan to find a printer soon. Hopefully everything will wrap up and school will not be an issue, balancing completing 20 pages isn’t as easy as it seems as a page literally eats 2 hours of your time and if you start and stop or take a break you lose the flow of the page. My written report’s going well and I gotta go tidy a lot of things there. At the stage I’m at I feel a little behind but I think I can pull it off, I have 2 pages to draw left in Chapter 2 and the grand finale will begin. My comic front cover is almost finish and the backing is done, all I need to do is finish the last 20 pages and I’ll have the comic ready for the exhibition~

 Hopefully I can at least have chapter 3 started before term 4 begins. I’ve also planned up a sketch of my exhibition desk set up, and it should include, my rough draft, physical comic book copy, a laptop displaying a run though of  various page speed paints of the comic along with my written report. I’ve also considered ‘cosplaying’ or dressing up as one of the characters if it is no hassle but I’m not 100% sure with the idea.  So yeah, hopefully I can finish it all up and have everything done whilst keeping on top of my schoolwork. The final push will hopefully be a good one.

On a side note~

I attempted to pull a 2 week, 2 pages a day stunt in the holidays, and the end of my tablet pen broke.  I ordered a 5 pack of nibs immediately, however I have no clue when I’ll get them. Hopefully I can organize myself and hopefully finish the pages I’ve failed to upload on time asap. And I plan to do this through scheduling and organizing myself. In personal matters, I believe I need to step up academically, because my grade average has recently dropped, and I haven’t been very organized. So hopefully the second semester will have consistent updates, and quality pages. I also condensed the story, so the planned filler pages are scraped and I get the main plot points out. Anyways, until those tablet ends come in I plan to use this time to finish a paper manuscript, along with any extra character designs.

Nibs came in and I ordered the wrong end…woops.

Now I need to wait to get a refund and order the correct ends.

So I tried to do the whole GIF photoshop process, and it didn’t animate properly. ヽ(´o｀； Fortunately this was a test run, and I haven’t draw all the frames. I was considering adding more animated stuff into the comic, since it is a digital comic.

- Side note- I think I need to finish the storyboard for chapter 2 soon or I’ll be stressing

After a 2 week hiatus I am back from the dead.

With this we end the prolouge/Pilot Chapter and begin with getting the story on!

During the first week of hiatus I was at a pop culture convention, in the second week Maybe this shouldn't be considered hiatus cause i was working on the comic… I was drawing out chapter 2 in paper format. I found with this I can draw the pages faster, and I can properly pace the comic. So hopefully Chapter 2 wont be as choppy and inconsistent as the 1st.

Personally I found chapter one very inconsistent quality wise, and writing wise. Many of the fight scenes were paced incorrectly. To resolve this problem I got visual diary for some drawn panels and pages. It will also double as something to present at exhibition for my personal project stand.

Basically it contains me storyboarding then editing panels and planning out how the chapter will be like.

It will also help me organize update dates, and other little trinkets such as gifs and flash animations.

I should get off hiatus soon
