Fictional World Map V3.4

Fictional World Map V3.4

July 26, 2015

Digital Art

I’ve done some more work on this map: Added a Neon Glow around some of the continent names to improve readability. Added a grid. Added a scale. Added a border. Added the world name: Undomea. This is the world that my first digital comic (eComic) will be set in.  And yes, the oceans are going to be purple!

Project ADC-1 Concept Art.  I switched off the pencil layer, blended in the colour blocks and did some more detailed painting.

Project ADC-1 Concept Art.  I’ve blocked in the colours for the Benevolen concept.  In Manga Studio, I started with the brush tool and then found that the pen tool lays down colour more evenly – which is what I wanted for blocking in.

OK here’s a character concept sketch of the main protagonist in my digital comic.  Using a reference photo, I worked in Manga Studio 5 with a Wacom graphics tablet.  This represents around 40 minutes of sketching for me.

Project ADC-1: 20 July 2015

Comics

I’ve been character designing and expanding on my digital comic plot which currently consists of a text file of 455 words.  Originally I’d estimated 1 hour for plotting, I’ve spent 6 hours on it already but I reckon I’m about done with the high level plotting now. One thing that I found really helpful during structuring my plot was Tim Stout’s article on Blake…

I’ve been fleshing out my fictional world map a little bit more.  It now has continent names, a legend and depicts two of the locations for my ADC-1 project (Raneon and Suborea).

Comics

I’m still in the early stages of my digital comic project and I’ve already had to lower my sites from making a 30 page comic to a 20 page one.  Timescale is the overriding factor here. Most of the work has been done inside my head so far: Idea Brainstorming in my car to and from work. Drawing up a…

Just Bought Manga Studio 5!

July 12, 2015

Digital Art

For a while now I’ve been aware of Manga Studio – a digital art package that seemed to be more geared towards comics creation than other art packages.  I’d even made a mental note to download the trial version and give it a go.  However the other day, a friend of mine told me that it was currently on sale with…

Digital Painting Saturday 11th July 2015

July 11, 2015

Digital Art

I carried on with the painting I started on Thursday.  I can’t really call this a speed painting any more because the total time spent on it is now around 2 hours.  I’m struggling with his face a bit – the bridge of his nose it too prominent – I think I need to practice on a few more reference…

Speed Painting on Thursday 9th July 2015

July 9, 2015

Digital Art

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last took the Wacom out for a spin so I thought I’d do a 25 minute speed painting in Gimp.  I’ve always drawn onto a white canvas in the past but this time I thought I try painting onto a black canvas – I think it adds a certain moodiness.
