Jonah Maiava Comic
🕑 Added 2021-01-13 11:12:34 +0000 UTCHi all!
Who would like a very naughty Jonah Maiava comic (Shadow of the Tomb Raider)?
Because it's happening :D
EDIT 1: I promise this is going somewhere, wait for it XD
EDIT 2: I am not a comic writer, I have lots on my head about the final result, but I struggle with scripts. Sketching digitally is allowing me to compose and rearrange panels as I need, something I can't do on paper. The biggest reason I left that old Hellboy comic unfinished.
So, you will probably see repeated panels and things out of order. It's just a behind the scenes look at a puzzle being solved XD
EDIT 3: I am struggling to have a balance between a little bit of a story and, well, sex.
I don't want to rush things, but I don't want to extend non-porn pages too much either. I definitely want to create a bit of suspense, like we know something really bad is about to happen at any moment.
The character design varied too much between the three games. I will probably end with a middle point between the first and third. I have to define the final look before cleaning the artwork.
EDIT 4: I've been having troubles with the setting of the comic. The game level designs are so beautiful... I am taking inspiration from some places I visited last year in the Riviera Maya, like the Cenote Hubiku and la Cripta de Los Suspiros at Xcaret. I will be around there again in a month taking more references. By the way, did you knew Cancún is Mayan for “The Serpent's Nest”? I think it kind of describes what Jonah will face in the comic.
EDIT 5: See? I told you this was going somewhere. Probably you can guess the rest from here. I know that a better storyteller would compress what's going so far in fewer pages by using more panels and editing out stuff, but I'd like the pages to be somewhat half comic half illustrations. I feel that doing 10 panels per page can be the same or even more work than 2 pages of 5 panels because of the limitations.
EDIT 6: If you use Clip Studio Paint, I've found that the Design Pencil tool with a big sized value works nicely for quick shading. It has a nice noise/watercolor feel to it.
EDIT 7: I probably will use much bigger panels during the sex parts (sometimes maybe a full-page illustration). I want all the sex going on to be displayed big and in detail.
The one I just posted, with the tentacles crawling under Jonah's clothes won't necessarily be a full page, but I still liked how it looked in full, so I am adding it here like that before I put in an organized page.
EDIT 8: This year's Inktober helped me overcome my two biggest artistic problems: Drawing directly on a graphics tablet and digital inking. I used to draw on paper only, then scan, then digital color (directly over the pencil, no ink). Now I feel like I can do stuff in ways I wasn't able before. And that's a good thing :)
EDIT 9: OK, things are getting Martha Wayne :/
EDIT 10: You can't expect me to ignore Jonah's big anal beads looking necklace.

This is my favorite comic, currently!
Soto
It's really good 😄

I think I need to go play this game
Soto
Thanks! Honestly, I'm proud of how it turned out, so I'll leave it as a full-page instead of a panel. :D
Cyb
The newest one, with beads poping out of his ass, such nice angle!
Timothy Chandler
That would be exciting
Soto
Thanks! No progress, I abandoned it in favor of this one.

Looks good! Speaking of comics, what’s the progress on that new Hellboy comic you started back in May?
Soto
Thanks! When I announced the 2021 changes, I really wanted to find a way to give you all something to look forward to instead of just the monthly images, I think comics is a good option because of their continuity, plus it will help me improve at it XD
Andrew Whelan
I'd love that! You do great comic work. I really like their expressions
Luca Campagna
I look forward to seeing them both.
Soto
Thanks! Fortunately, I found a lot of unused artwork from the old Hellboy comic. I also have to browse hundreds of old CDs, but I know the original finished pages are in one of them. My next project after this one is to finally put everything together in better quality, do the missing parts, and give it a conclusion.
Soto
There is a lot more of him coming :D I want to make comic work something regular here, so you will see how it develops from sketches and ideas to full pages. :)
Luca Campagna
Scripts are tricky especially when rewrites happen so frequently because of how much you either want to add change or try to what works and what doesn't. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to what comes next and I love that you mentioned your old Hellboy Comic. It was one of my fav erotica comics!
Andrew Whelan
This guy is so hot! I forgot about him too! Wanna see more!
Soto
I just love him. He's adorable lol
Cyb
Oh my, didn't even know he existed!
Soto
Highly edificating to say the least 🎩
