Welcome to a quarterly flashback where we look back at what happened over the last 3 months in the process of making DUALITY comic!
Production Continues
The production for chapter 8 is completed and ready for web release for the rest of this year!
Took a bit of a break between end of May and beginning of July in preparation of kicking off production for the next chapter: Volume 2 Chapter 1.
Here is one of many pages for a hot look
Rough Storyboards
Quickly blocking out comic layouts and character placements
Much of the work is in testing things out and revising the scripts
Purposefully keeping things simple for making quick adjustments
Storyboards cleanup
Refine camera angles based on the rough, making characters and FX more readable in terms of silhouette
Rough line art cleanup pass
Further refine perspective of things using 3D software. Making the scene feel more believable and grounded before committing to full-renders
Colouring and shading pass
Once the designs are decided, colouring pass is to make sure character & prop designs are matching with the design sheet and looks consistent with previous pages. Also adding colors to BG elements. The process of polishing usually takes much longer than expected
Character designs for V1C8
