Mission!,  just spent most of saturday up at tech again working on the comic. Has taken approx 14 to 16 hours to colour a one of the monster pages. Will have to speed that up but I think I might have figured a few things out, so should hopefully be a little easier from here on in. I removed the horn and changed some weapon detail. Might still need some tweaking but all and all I think Im on the right track.

Will also put up a couple of environment artworks that we had to do for one of the assignments.

Was a great exercise, lots of Photoshop, some Vue, a little Maya, and some photo bashing. Definitely like working with Photoshop the most. Its user friendly, intuitive, and can give a pretty close painterly look if required.

Started to colour the comic for our drawing class at SIT over the last week. Am trying to incorporate two styles, one of the more traditional block colour found in the older comics such as Asterix or Tintin. The other is a more painterly style that has been adopted by the more recent action hero comics accept that I would like to keep it a little looser to emulate a more story board approach. Both these styles will be used and the comic will in effect be a comic within a comic. The first style will be used to describe a humorous look into the day of a hospital orderly and the second will be used to show a comic that the orderly himself is working on in his spare time.

Have got a way to go yet but progress is being made. Was going to incorporate a lot of photo bashing with the lower monster action component but I think Ill rely more on painting it in Photoshop, (I prefer the slightly loose brush look).
