I thought it was time for a bigger update with more details on what's going on with the project and me as a person and all that! I will try to do this more often in the future too to enforce that this is meant to be the main place for info and art related to the project. So let's make a little deep dive into my artistic brain and tell you a bit more about recent developments! First of all, let's peak behind the curtain of how I do comic pages, shall we? Here's a WIP of the last comic page. I...

Hey everyone! The time has come. The new villain approaches and will be revealed both in the next comic page (which is well underway!) and in this new little side project. Since I have a few days extra for drawing around Easter I decided to tackle something I've been meaning to get to for a while: A teaser for my project. And what can I say: Roughly one day of work and this is the result. A snippet of the first scene. I will continue with this the next two days on my vacation days and get back...

This is what some of my work looks like. This is the second sketch step where I refine the super rough first version a little to better make out poses and shapes. So as you can see, I started on page 10 already and am doing good progress. I will continue with the line art over the weekend. What do you think the girls are looking at?

The new page is uploaded! YEAH! I hope you guys like it. Some more every-day-life stuff for the girls before we dive back into magic and adventure. Lots of complementary contrasts on this one... It's funny that whenever I finish a page it feels like this huuuge project suddenly is done. Soemthing you've been working on for so long and then it's really finished and you can't believe it because it took so long and there HAS to be something that needs fixing... but NO! It's actually finished! I'm...

Been a while but I did learn something bigger about the trade of comic making with the new page and it's connected to dialogues! I've been having trouble with the whole speech bubble placement. Where to put them in a panel? And how much text should there be? What should the speech bubble look like? Normal round or with spikes? So this time I included them super roughly in my very first concept sketch of the entire page. Once the lineart was done, I went a step further and planned the placement...

TADA! After a long wait (so sorry guys!!) here's a new update for the next comic page. I'm done adding the dialogues, speech bubbles and such plus some effects for the entire page and started colouring today. Here's a colour test for one of the panels. It's the first time I'm doing a colour test like this but it's really helpful. It let's me see what the overall tone of the panel and entire page will be like and if it will work or not. That way I can make changes in colour way faster and...

As you might have noticed due to my lack of updates, my vacation was over (far to quickly in my opinion) and I'm back to work. On the right you can see a quick draft I did for a challenge at work. I like the cat the most haha! To wrap up the lineart and start a tiny bit on colouring, I'll use tomorrow, since it's a holiday here. I will then give you another update on how things went and how far I've gotten. Recently I tried out my new software for colouring as well and it was pretty simple. So...

Happy feet, I got those happy feet, give them a low down beat... (humming to music) Hey ho lovely people! I finished another panel today and am only lacking one more. I managed to start with it but yesterday's migraine is still taking it's toll so I was a bit slower than usual. This panel was interesting since it purely consists of feet and shoes and with both I'm usually very bad. But again I think they turned out rather nicely. Can you tell which feet belong to which girl?

Time for another update! Day three is at its end and I'm wrapping up my work for today. On the right you can see what I've been working on almost the entire day. I was a little slower today and easily distracted I have to confess. But still I made progress and reminded myself multiple times to keep going and it was worth it. Again the speech bubbles are still missing but the rest I'm rather happy with. Now there are only 2 more panels missing on the page. I sketched out one more panel in detail...

Geeeeeez I'm finally done... Just finished the next page for the prologue and I can tell you it wasn't easy! I had a lot of difficulties getting the page to work all-over. I usually look at each panel separately. The panel positioning works alright but getting the right colour scheme for the entire page if the panels show so many different scenes... that's NOT EASY! AT ALL!! Also I had to adjust it a little so it fits to the first comic page from the style and then I had the problem of making...
