Works in progress and creating ressources (Patreon)
Content
I am working on the completition of "Moon Detective" and today I want to show you some progress and what a page looks like without colours (lineart above).
I use SAI for sketching and linearting and Photoshop CS5 (old reliable from 2011) for colouring.
In PS I create the crystal flood for example via duplication.
This way I save time and I make sure, that all objects are drawn by myself. Using online ressources has two main disadvantages: There are licenses, which I don't want to read, because it is boring and the basic info is always the same "private use only".
Second, PNG files created by someone else look off place. They do not match with my art style.
So if you wonder why I create many ressources myself. Well, that was the answer.
Here are some more: Do you remember this pattern from Xanatos x Goliath?
I created it for the floor and I was able to use it again in the comic.
And there are more even more patterns in the comic.
The rose pattern on Stefano's and Sebastian's clothes.
The stars on McReid's bed linen and as a background texture.
These are roof tiles from Poor Palace.
The wallpaper in Stefano's office.
My skyscrapers for creating a skyline.
And the newest addition: A glas sphere
Sailor Moon would be jealous of this one. xD
Well, as you can see I have created quite some stuff for the comic. And I plan to create much more patterns and ressources for new comics and the MD game, because I can construct good looking backgrounds with these files, instead of drawing everything by hand over and over again.
That saves time and keeps my level of motivation high.
Thanks for reading.
Note: I own these ressources/patterns. Private use only.
