turning the page
if you want to investigate the spooky mansion, turn to page 97, if you want to pilot the spaceship back to the mother ship, turn to page 46…..
i used to love choose your own adventure books. then videogames happened. which why i may like the telltale games so much. it’s about as close as they’ve gotten so far. all games promise consequence by choice, but few deliver. and these doesn’t either, but it’s close. in short, i want my damn holodeck already!
but i digress. the post for today, as you’ll notice, is a bit different. people noted recently that not much time has passed in the story, and they’re right. more or less 1 day. i know, this is the slowest way to tell a story. so, to close the end of this chapter, and commemorate the beginning of a new one, i decided to paint a background and put a little bit more pizzazz into this panel. and, as an added bonus, anyone who wants the full background, can check it out ‘here’ at my patreon page. a little something extra for people willing to part with $1.
i really put some time into it, and i’d like everyone who’s been kind enough to support my growing endeavor to enjoy it.
thanks!
The sky is lighter; is dawn coming into the world?
i think that’s sort of the feel i was going for, a new dawn, but to be honest, i’m not sure i’ll do time of day as strictly as that. i might just keep a nighttime vibe to everything…..
Ah, but some of the best parts of noir are in the daytime, giving the chiaroscuro style a workout.
you’re not wrong, but there’s some story reasons, aside form a general style that i would keep it murky, at best.
the story might be getting too big to tell in a webcomic format, but i committed, and it’s epic, and i hope to hell i plant the landing, or you guys are gonna skin me alive for wasting years of your time. hahah
Beautiful! You did it like a Cirkut or Noblex rotating camera! I think the other camera was a Roundshot. I love those panoramas.
not familiar with those. i guess it sorts looks like that, but i just started drawing, and it just got wider and wider.
Well done.
thanks!
The color is fabulous! I’d frame a poster of this shot!
haha, well, you’re welcome to, cause i’m a ways away from having an online store. glad you dig it!
