The speed of the thread definitely makes it a bit hard to keep up, especially if one wants to appreciate all those dang comics! I've been feeling a bit out of it lately, hence why I've mostly just plopped my comics posts here and not said much else.

I'm not entirely against reposting comics from the beginning, but if we're at that point I have a strong need to see Nedroid reposted from the beginning. Also, all these art-draft posts are great. As someone who can't draw to save my life, getting a glimpse into how people do it is always interesting.

Peanut Butler posted:v much enjoying all the posting about process in here- Performance is hard work. It feels like the average person thinks of music as a thing that comes out of a screen sounding the same every time, and can only be produced by teams of professionals. The idea that you can make your own, and that it will be different to what you can download, and that's okay... well, it's a big shift. Anywho, if you end up adding "weird webcomic fanart" to your creative roster, you know where to post it!! Ditocoaf posted:Also, all these art-draft posts are great. As someone who can't draw to save my life, getting a glimpse into how people do it is always interesting. More specifically, there's a first layer for "this is the order the words and pictures go," then a second layer for a very rough scribble of the visuals, then a third layer for roughing out the line work that goes under the actual fourth layer of finished lines. And then there's a fifth layer for colour and a sixth layer for shading. And then repeat layers two through six for the background. It's hideously inefficient but, well, it gets results! And layer three is the only one that takes any great amount of time. Ditocoaf posted:I'm not entirely against reposting comics from the beginning, but if we're at that point I have a strong need to see Nedroid reposted from the beginning. I bought all four nedroid books just recently and one page has a kind of unsettling printing error I'll have to post for comparison's sake when the time comes.

I hope I'm not too late for process chat! I've always wanted an excuse to share my process, but no one's ever really asked. I write my pages in a pretty basic script format. Sometimes I write out what happens in each panel action-wise, but I often don't and decide it on the fly during the thumbnail sketch phase. It's not a very interesting script, but I'm going to use page 1151 of BSF for this example. The script looked like this:  The only notable thing here, I think, is that I use all caps to indicate what needs to be bold. As far as I know, this is the standard in comic scriptwriting, but it's kind of weird because I don't use an all caps font; all-caps fonts designed for comics usually have all the capital letters in bold, which would let you copy and paste your script lines directly when lettering. Since I have chosen a non-standard font with lowercase characters but cannot rid myself of the capitalizing-bolded-words habit from my art school days, I have created more work for myself every time I transcribe a script onto the page, since I have to type poo poo out rather than copy and paste. I put together my own thumbnail sketchbooks with a 3x3 grid of boxes on each page. The current one has 44 pages, so it should last me a while. I started on this one in February on page 1140. The last one encompassed pages 782 through 1139. One completed page looks like this:  Taking page 1151 as an example, I throw that into a template file in Clip Studio Paint and make the lines blue:  Then I do the panel borders and lettering:  I think it's really important to figure out where the word balloons are going to go first before penciling. That way I can make sure the page is readable before I get married to any specific panel composition. I try to do this in the thumbnail phase, too, but it's hard to estimate how big the balloons/captions are going to need to be at that point, so I really lock it in here. Then it's on to penciling. Usually I can do this in one layer, but sometimes I need to do multiple layers of different colors when human anatomy is confounding me.  Penciling is the hard part; inks are easy.  I export the inks to a png file and then open that in Photoshop in order to use a couple plugins, called Multifill and Flatten Pro. This yields a random-color image that goes perfectly under the inks:  (There was also a step here where I explicitly designed that flash behind Ceris and Arg. I did that before exporting the inks, but you get the idea.) The random color image lets me mostly use the fill bucket to get the big areas of color down. I still need to explicitly draw some parts, but it takes way less time than doing it all that way.  After that, I split the flat colors into separate layers (usually just foreground and background) so I can overlay shading and such over each element using clipping masks. How exactly the shading works varies depending on what's needed for the specific page, but the end result is, well, the finished product:

Fortis posted:process chat Thank you for the in depth writeup, that was an interesting read for how many details there are to consider through the entire development. I never thought about the text being set so early on and just being a static top layer that constrains how the art can be developed, but that makes sense.

Captain Hygiene posted:I just want to say, I was 100% guessing this as well. Well, it is explicitly a collaborative effort, so... half credit I guess? Lavender Jack is an odd mix of playing turn of the century tropes extremely straight and playing them extremely not straight. The masked avenger hiding behind an identity as a rich useless fop is right out of the Scarlet Pimpernel and would be an entrenched part of the formula for several decades.
