YESAUL - Kettles (Patreon)

Welp! That sure was a colossal amount of work for one page, hahaha.

Flipping through the process photos above, you could notice some pretty dramatic edits happening to the page on later stages. And I'm still going to clear out even more of background inks and grey tones from panel 1, because I obviously got carried away in the process there. That's what I'm calling "meditative drawing", and this process does sometimes ends with me loosing my grip a little -___-

Also! Did you know that I'm "tracing"? :D Jokes aside, I'm going to use a bunch of rough 3D models made for YESAUL by my co-writer and co-artist, Artyom Doomov. He used quite a lot of 3D references in his recent graduation project (check it out in his IG!), and I think incorporating 3D brings a lot of eerie feelings of materials to traditional 2D graphics. 

Also, these models are goofy as shit! :D

I'm using shots of the model taken from different angles to make my pencils, but warp and mangle their geometry ever so slightly in the process. You could call it un-perspertive and non-materiality (well, at least I will call them that...)

And in the end - the usual comparison:
