September was one heck of a month, I digitally coloured 95 pages for the three comic books, I still have a few pages to draw for one of the comics but that's fine I wanted to get the bulk of the work finished and will come back to them. They're already sketched they just need some ink lovin' and will be ready to be coloured soon.
The hardest part of the process are the covers, the cover above is for "Battle Rally" it's my favourite of the three, I imagine I'll be changing the covers right up until the end of November when I send the three (and possibly four) books off to the printers. The Battle Rally cover works, it's supposed to reference 80's action movies like Mega Force (with Barry Bostick!) just needs some more painterly colouring to make it pop, right now it looks like it was coloured in Digital Pencil Crayon
It has been a hell of a step learning curve, I didn't know how to use Manga Studio 5 on the first of September and now I feel very comfortable with a good portion of it's functions. There are quite a few that I still have to figure out but the books look good, I'll print off a few pages and post them next week. I wish I could get screen captures from Manga but that doesn't seem possible (let me know if you know).
more to come,
