Weekly Roundup - Inmate Caroo - Part 1 (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hi everyone!

As this week was almost completely spent on grinding on art assets it'll be a short post. But I'll share what I've been up to!

1: What's New?

At the start of this week I completed the sketching out all the scenes and fleshing out the narrative design doc.

I also hired a writer to create all the narrative logs for each part! :D

A warning that overlooking them is a spoiler for the upcoming animation set content. But if you did want to spoiler it you can see all the sketch works here.

After that it's been about an additional 24 hours of work so far to complete all the linearts for the animation pack assets.

I've said this before in prior weekly roundups when I work on animation packs but when it comes to making art assets for animations it's about 4x the amount of time and work to make all the assets as opposed to if the image was flat.

This is because you need to "Layer" each and every body part you want separated and able to move independently. Which in the case of Caroo is well over 100 assets. And then add another 50 for the Warden Bots.

All those overlapping line arts are to account for movement.

So, as per usual in the quest to make something I think you'll all enjoy I've gone and made a lot of work for myself. XD

2: What's Next?

Next week is 100% working on the art assets in photoshop. Now that I've done all the line art and separated everything into its own layers the coloring pass comes next!

Be interesting to see how far I get by next weeks roundup.

Cheers!
