For this month's bonus I decided to show you what IDCC looked like in its early stages. In the beginning I was still unsure whether or not I should draw the comic in color. I thought of 5 alternatives:
1. Draw the comic in black and white
2. Draw the comic in color
3. Just color a few objects in the comic (such as trees)
4. Just color a few pages per chapter
5. Draw the comic in dark purple and white
In the end I settled for option 5 as I knew it'd save me a lot of time and allow me to upload faster. No matter how pretty the first page may look I still feel like I made the right choice.
Another thing you may notice is the text font and the order of the panels. Initially I used comic sans as I didn't know which font was the "official" font used for comics. Thankfully, I found out and changed it before I started publishing IDCC online.
As for the panels; the reason the order is different here is because I draw IDCC like a manga. It's originally read from right to left but I always reorganize the panels to suit webtoons/tapastic scroll format before uploading it.
