DUALITY comic banner - Fire Magic VS Water Magic

Reflecting on July – September 2022

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

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
