The Last Aviatrix is a adventure indie comic book. It takes place 90 years after a catastrophic nuclear war. The survivors of the wastelands of earth adapt to the new environment, but one thing still keeps humanity in peril. The Atom Born, an indestructible breed of atomic wizards that bring war, plague and pestilence to the small factions of people still left. The story follows our heroine, The Last Aviatrix, a woman flying the final operating airplane, a nuclear powered B-29. As she travels the world finding ways to survive and help humanity when she can, her mission becomes complicated when she accidentally picks up Henry, an atom born child, who wield incredible power. Can our Aviatrix survive this ruined irradiated world. When does this update? As soon as a issue is finished, but the artist is not accomplished and works slowly, and sometimes the issues are double length... for no good reason. so production is a touch slow... The hell are these little lines in these things? That's duo shade (specifically a digital version of duo shade) trying to create a sense of the indie comics of old. The same reason it is in black and white to begin with. Ya actually got through that and wanna read the thing? here is a link to the artists website, its also on tapas and such, ya get the idea. https://www.bustercagle.com/comics

I added 22 pages to the first issue, and nearly redrew the rest of it. Because lets face it, it looked like poo poo. Now it looks less like poo poo. So here is the real first issue as it should be seen. The cover is the same though, so here's a splash page. https://www.bustercagle.com/the-last-aviatrix-iss-1

Eyyy. A new issue, if that's a thing you were craving... I'm too slow, but its also 50 pages... so there's something. Less wizard this issue, more cults. https://www.bustercagle.com/the-last-aviatrix-2

The gold standard for any comics page should be, what do I want to draw? this is pretty up there.

More pages, a series of things I think would be fun in a post apocalyptic world. The last ipod in the world.

A buncha new stuff. The last 4 pages make 2 nice complete scenes. I think it works better in physical and the two pages are facing each other.

I will just keep posting these, what do i have to lose. Maybe some prowlers are enjoying this. also I thought the mirroring between these pages was a cool effect. but it will work better in paper when they are next to each other.

I noticed today that this issue doesn't have any double pagers. which i would change. if i did not hit the page limit on saddle stitch pages for a comic book. I don't want to do glue binding on these. must choose what we give up making comics i guess.

Agent_grey posted:This is really good, scratching the post apocalypse itch I have going on recently. This is the first thing I have really gotten anywhere with. I was thinking of this as a maxi series with 12 or 13 issues in mind (probably somewhere around 600 when it's done) and yeah, a real finale. Thank you so much for reading. I'm glad you like it. also here is another page.

  That boot gift scene was the first thing i thought of in this issue, and i really think it came out well. Also never write a scene with a crowd. I cheated it as much as ya can, and it still sucks.

Drawing conversations with any amount of visual interest is one of the more tricky things that don't seem tricky.

This is really the end of the issue, there are 2 more pages I squeezed in on the back cover as an epilogue, and I'll post those in a day or two, but yeah. this is issue 4

And that's the end of Issue 4. This comic is a joy to work on, but really doesn't have a lot of traction. so I'm gonna see if i can get some moment with this latest issue, I plan to make an issue 5 even if it doesn't but it might be a while. I hope you folks like it.

What's up?! We're back baby! and we got the flash back issue! If you write what you wanna draw, you're gonna write the end of the world. I don't finish the cover till about the middle of drawing the book. If i started with the cover, I'd never get anywhere.

Here is the next batch of pages. Doing the end of the world is something I really wanted to draw when I started. But I worry my art is plateauing. I also changed the mom's hair half way through. at some point I'll go back and re-upload those pages with her bun.

its currently something like 220 pages long. But it's also not the heaviest when it comes to dialogue so its a decently quick read. Thanks for checking it out.

Here is really the end of the narrative for this issue, I started off with this as 1 story in a 3 part issue, but realized I needed to spend more time on the destruction of the world. so that's what everything after this will be.

I really like these 2 pages. I feel like they have some decent power to them. and when they're on a spread it reads across. But I think it works well both ways.

I reject the idea of page economy. I want the shock white pages right before this. This effect will also, probably only really work in paper.

     If the world is gonna end, it has to end in the most over the top sort of way. and the only thing i could think of that might hold that kind of power is just a series of double page spreads. I still have to draw the last 2 spreads and the cover. But I think these have some fine work in them. Mac9k5 fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Nov 21, 2022 |
