A Hell of a Lotta Work
I’ve been making lists again – Art Work wise it goes something like this:
The style, medium and size of the art work
Character development, positions, attitudes and costumes – for each character.
Background – perspective and lay out
Panel/cell layout, type set, font and spaces inbetween
Digital help – how much and what software
Colour/pallete – do I restrict it in a different way for each graphic novel? = different identifiable looks?
Each panel picture is an intricate piece of art work in it’s own right – so this is going to take some time.
Especially as I am still mucking about with how to draw books and in fact decided I need some more – the weighting in my collection is more towards the Manga end with a few fantasy art books thrown in. But I need to add some comic book how too.
There are about 60 panels in each comic (10 pages) and then there is the cover and the background behind the panels which can be white space but may be an added level of art work and add a few ‘ghost’ panels in.
I am going to have to schedule time outside of Script Frenzy to get this done in time for next year. On the plus side, the first one will be the hardest and the steepest learning curve. Especially as I hope to reuse some of the art elements through out the comics.
