Page 128 - Pencil roughs, ink, and layered files
🕑 Added 2021-01-19 06:32:37 +0000 UTCHey everyone, got a layered process post for you all here. Taking this relatively spoiler-safe page where Rek borrows an aerodyne from a hapless badguy pilot.
You'll notice I've got two pencil pages here. Originally the composition had a shot from the pilot's view with Rek's fist coming in at him, but I decided it was over-explaining what was going on. Feels just a little more kinetic going straight from the throat-grab to the dude flying through the air. Very Mike Mignola influenced pacing, like many things I do.
Layered PSD and CLIP files are attached for your examining pleasure. As always, let me know if you have any questions about the process, or suggestions for other updates!

Thanks Yermo, glad you dig it! Yeah, I find with all of my writing and panel flow, the first pass ALWAYS tends to have more narrative connecting parts than it needs. The second pass is usually a process of determining where I can let the reader fill in the gaps themselves (and also save me a ton of labor in the inks).
One my favorite gags in toons, it's super intriguing to see your process and the subtle changes that take place each rendition of the page. Really shows the careful and constant thought put into each panel!
