07.06.18. ...and almost a week went by...

So I did my “normal” thing (he says after only two weeks of posts...) and did not post on Friday and Saturday. Then we had a busy Monday with a hospital visit (partly planned) followed by a busy Tuesday as my son turned 4. Don’t know where Wednesday went, but here we are. 

Work has continued. I’ve lettered page 2 and 3. 

I do my lettering in Illustrator and then import it to Photoshop (usually with my son sitting on my lap watching something on my computer...). Special lettering, like sound effects and signs, I do in Photoshop. I find the text/image manipulation better there than in Illustrator, where as the continuous editing of text is way better in Illustrator. 

I have started laying out page 4-6 ( or chapter 2, page 1-3, if you wish) bit at this stage, even I am having trouble telling what’s what. When they look a little clearer, I’ll post them. 

Have a great day. (And as always, you wanna let me know how I’m doing, please post below.)

31.05.18. I’m in shock...

This was one of those pages I never thought I’d finish. Can’t show you everything, but a few detail-shots I guess would be ok.

See?!? I’m not the only one who’s shocked...

   

Ominous, isn’t it...?

The story is called Ghost Sails, remember?

Day 54: ...a little of this...

Apologies. Been a bit emotional here the last few days, and I fear we have a few more coming. As a result, I had no chance to post yesterday. 

I'm also keeping myself distracted, so yesterday I worked more on the pirates. 

And I was really trying to finish coloring my fan-art for today. I came up short, but hopefully tomorrow.  Here's a small part that's done.

Day 53: Another distraction...

Okey, so another thing came up... I wonder if I'm on to one of the reasons this is taking so long. I was asked to do Apple Order Nummer character sketches for a story. The sketches escalated a little... I can show one or two close ups as these faces are gonna change again. And I don't know if I'll be able to show the finished piece for a while. 

Anyway, here they are.
