Weekly Update 9/5/24
🕑 Added 2024-09-05 23:06:32 +0000 UTCWell, I didn't get a page rendered this week like I wanted, but I did get plenty of other stuff done. I finished inking and flatting the three replacement pages. Ya know, I'm not sure about the first one. Somehow I like the idea more than the execution. The rest is great.
I employed a new way of inking and flatting that made things move much quicker than normal. My concern is that these new methods will make these pages stand out aesthetically. But I didn't want to waste too much time on these replacement pages trying to approximate previously inferior techniques. The entire process of inking and flatting is tedious and monotonous enough as is.
The entirety of Toph Heavy has been a learning process that will affect future work in a very positive way, I think.
I also started to redo an aspect of a couple of pages. This stuff doesn't require complete redraws, just a minor edit.
Here's one of the old pages for comparison.
I decided I need some dangle. They felt a little... too "balloon-ish" for my tastes.
Next week, I'm gonna do the basic shading on the three replacement pages, and re-ink and re-color the "dangle" pages. Hopefully, I'll be able to render the next page as well but that may not be possible because I'll be away from my workstation between Friday and Monday of this week.
