Wet Moon 7 sneak peek!
Wet Moon 7 has been slow going thanks to a bunch of different things, i won't have much time to work on it this year unfortunately. :( it's frustrating. but after a secret gig later this year, i'm planning on 2014 being the Year of Ross and getting Wet Moon 7 and Shadoweyes 3 done! i can't believe how much my personal books have gone off the rails since Glory, it sucks, but now that i'm a bit more financially-stable i hope i can get back to my own projects full-time again for a while. thanks for being patient, everyone!!
here's a yet-to-be-greytoned page from volume 7:

script + thumbnails
i don't do a lot of process posts mostly because i think my process is fairly straightforward and unremarkable, plus i'm lazy, but here we go!
i tried to find some Wet Moon 7 snippets that weren't super spoilery and i think these work okay, but if you're spoilerphobic then turn back now! this is a process from script to thumbnail. here's an excerpt of 7 pages.
some notes: i've been doing a thing where i color code scenes in my scripts to denote which characters each scene focuses on (Mara = red, Cleo = blue, Martin = mustardy color, etc.) so i can better pace things out and i can tell generally how much pagetime a given character has just by scrolling through the text document really fast, but i didn't include that here.. the parts where it says [CHARACTER] OUTFIT both tally up how many outfits each character has in the book so i know how many i have to lay out, and they also will refer to specific outfits once i gather those up and make easy-access collages of them for when i start drawing pages. the "artpage" header is how many pages i actually have to draw, minus the chapter dividers or black "pause" pages and stuff like that, i like to know how many pages i'm going to be drawing, or at least a general idea since sometimes i add or delete pages along the way. then the first page number is what the actual page number will be in the final book.
i wanted to do a thing where the script is alongside the thumbnails so you can follow along easily but it was too difficult and time-consuming, although it probably would have taken less time then jockeying with Blogger's annoying formatting.
anyway, here we go after the jump!
