i come and bring some Villainous stuffs to feed ya guys. after i saw the new update. black hat new look is so rad. though dr flug remind the same. is still fueling me to draw some paperhat contents
Went through some of the comics to get a few quick phone scans for something and realized in a few instances how... lovingly? Black Spy stares at White Spy.
Dude why are you looking at him like that?
I also took notice of another detail, which I have to assume was unintentional, but I need you all to see what I'm seeing here:
It's obviously a Welcome mat, and established as such in a previous panel, and yet... I'm reading "WED ME".
It's obviously not intended to be read that way at all, yet the way Black Spy's watching his rival in tandem with that convenient covering of letters to make it appear so...
shortie paperback-style comic to find my art style and set a baseline for my understanding of art fundamentals too. my first clean comic in years! <333
♡♡♡♡♡making of notes below♡♡♡♡♡
takeaway 1: have a much easier time if you clean up your sketch really really well before doing the lineart. had to do a rough sketch, then a detailed sketch after sometimes.
takeaway 2: maybe try setting a time limit for sketching, no time limit for lineart.
takeaway 3: remember to save the color palette (values of grey) to pick from later on using a layer above all clipped adjustments. the paperback comics use multiple shades of grey, it's not just grey, black, and white.
takeaway 4: try one of those 3d modeling sites for references. note: the hair is going to appear more on the outer arms, not the inner arms, and the background lineart is thinner than the subject's outer lineart.
takeaway 5: I added noise / grain effect over grey only. in future, try adding barely visible grain to the white and black layers too (SAVE PRESETS FOR HIGH GRAIN AND LOW GRAIN).
♡ time taken: around 12 hours? took me 2 days to complete the comic.
♡ I didn't use references this time. "I dont want to hunt for them." remember I have those websites where you can pose a 3d model, maybe try one of those next time.
♡ drew a comic border using the ruler tool in photoshop for each panel
♡ gradually started giving more fucks about the comic the more I invested, I find that the first panels of the comic are probably going to have less effort put in
♡ I need to figure out with practice how to pace myself because I start out wanting to finish an entire comic in one sitting but, that's NOT the way to go about it! gotta practice discipline by returning to it, committing to a comic, and find what works best for resting my eyes, hand, and rest of my body from sitting so long.
so I lost my mind trying to find the image of the tech White is using (for ref), and I was not able to figure out what it was called becuase frankly, too many words used for different things. so i what you see is bull.
What exactly does Olivia need the spy’s help with? (love your art btw)
B: So, what exactly do you want from us, kid? Must be something important to contact White and then go all the way to find me…
O: It's complicated, but… it all started a couple of years ago. I got sick. VERY sick. I spent a long time in the hospital, and the doctors didn't think I'd make it. But then, overnight, I had a miraculous recovery.
O: Or so I thought, until I realized… I've stopped growing.
B: What?
O: I know it's hard to believe, but it's true! I haven't grown an inch in two years, or gained any weight, even my hair is the same as when I went into the hospital!
B: Wait, didn't you have that "rare disease" that makes adults look like children or something? I heard about it on TV…
O: No! That's what the doctors think and what my family tells the press. This is different, Mr. Black… Something happened to me in that hospital! I'm sure of it!
W: Olivia… it's okay. Black is the kind of guy who needs to see to believe.
W: Show him... He won't be convinced until he sees it.
B: Until i see WHAT, exactly…?
O: This scar… I didn't have it before I went into the hospital.
