Your colors and line work are always so much fun to look at. Do you have a specific process for character design and color choices for pieces/comics?
lotta variables! usually u wanna be able to tell ur pals apart from eachother at a distance, or in a sillouett. Sparing a thought for the light/dark values on a single character, and then for how that affects the balance of the group is probably worth your time.
Relationship is important, who's touching? who's standing out?
For process I like to think of a group, the roles in that group, and who's missing. I often look to my irl friend groups and try to find them in characters, they way they slouch or posture or ponder or zone out.
(*For Nerve Gardens, @bloombeard gave particular consideration to disability and addiction, and how an oppressive work environment would affect/create those traits. I'm not sure what other factors he weighed in the comics creation but he'd be worth asking forsure!)
Helps me to give mind to what the folks do for work, what the weather/environment is like, class, hygiene. Porn is my usual genre so keeping in mind how accessible their clothing is, and what body types I have to pair up, will affect how I tell the story.
