On Mondays I will post my pages from reMIND and on Thursdays I will post information about making graphic novels.
This way when I have another interview with a graphic novel artist it won't interfere with posting my progress on Mondays.
With all that said, here is spread 8. Another slow paced establishing shot before things get out of control. I'm not sure if I should have the time narration box or not. I just want to make sure that everyone understands that it's in the middle of the night but I assume this is obvious because the picture in the dark. Hmm. I'll let my writer buddy figure this one out. Who knows. Maybe there will be narration box in every frame like Watchmen. I hope not. Otherwise I'd never finish reading my own book.
awesome!!!!! happy new year jason!
Hey thanks buddy! Happy New Year to you as well. 2010 is going to be sweet!
Hi Jason,
I'm so glad to have bumped into ur blog….Ur stuff is just awesome and all the links that u've posted were just the kind of info i was looking for all this while…..
I'm an animator/storyboard artist from India currently working on my first Graphic novel…couple of quick questions
do u do ur coloring in B&W and then use the Colorize option to put in the hues….Also, do u use special brushes for the texture overlays or u have a bank of them
Don't have a blog yet but just put up my website http://offish.co.in where u can find some of my work….
Prasun – Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad to hear the links are helpful. Your portfolio is amazing by the way. You have some great animation and commercials on your site too.
I started with black and white but that was only for the first 16 or so pages. Now I just throw in random colors to get an idea of what I want and then adjust the hue/saturation as I go. Only a few times have I needed to hit the colorize button to convert something from a gray tone.
I don't use custom brushes very much. I mainly painted a bunch of textures on paper and then scanned then. So far I have textured the whole book with about 8 good paint textures. Some day I will post a tutorial of my technique but it may be a while before that happens. Thanks for the questions and I look forward to seeing your graphic novel!
Gorgeous. The best one yet!
looking good, and happy new year :)
Nate – Thanks again!
