Stuffed Mutton Furever Pg.38! (Patreon)
Content
I'm switching things up once again! Two major updates with this page in particular!
First and foremost, I've tried a new style for coloring the characters where I combine the sharp, clean, high contrast fur details with the painted style that I've used for most of Stuffed Mutton Furever! The previous couple pages were a good test for what the comic would look like using the high contrast, cell shaded style for the detailing! While I really enjoyed the sharp fur detail it provided, I felt like it lacked the soft color blending that ties all the details together! I decided to take the best parts of both styles and combine them together for this page to see what the results were like! I'm very happy with the results, and I'd love to hear what you think about this style!
Secondly, I've been testing out some new ideas for the dialogue and effects! I found that they were lacking in color and were hard to decipher who was talking at certain points when they were all black and white! In addition to using proper speech bubbles for dialogue, I've began to color code the text itself depending on which character is talking! Another change is that the effects now have some colorful flare to fit what the effect is depicting! Again, I'm really happy with the result and think it ties the whole page together much more cohesively!
Just as Remi and Master Wolf are evolving throughout the comic, I'm always trying to find ways to evolve my art and improve! The only way to know what works and what doesn't is by trying them out and taking what I like, while discarding what I don't! I'm sure you've noticed the drastic changes in styles between my comics, as I've trialed different ideas and techniques! My goal is to eventually evolve a consistent style that ticks all the boxes I desire in an art style! I feel like I'm getting closer to this goal!
As always, let me know what you think about these changes, plus any recommendations or suggestions you have! Your feedback is incredibly valuable! Thanks!
