Today’s an update day again and page 2 of Conception and Definition is up under Carnivore Carnival! For those just joining us, Carnivore Carnival is a webcomic consisting out of oneshots and short comics of various length. No connecting themes, other than they’re all in color and done solely by me. A brand new (used) Nec Multisync FE770 17inch CRT monitor is sitting on my desk and my god, the colors!!! It’s such a huge difference, that I keep on looking at random images (my art and otherwise) and marvelling at how pretty everything looks like. Work on new art should commence shortly. The second Carnivore Carnival story has started. It’s somewhat different from the first one and also half of it was drawn over two years ago, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. Due to technical problems (mostly with my monitor being a total piece of shit and deciding it is time to enter its terminal phase) I am unfortunately unable to post any new art for the time being. This could take a week to solve or perhaps two, who knows. I’ll try to be back with new art as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I guess, I’ll be doing more text based posts, assuming I can come up with interesting topics. Page six of Carnivore Carnival is up! This concludes Planet Adam, the first short story, so if you held off with the reading it might be a good time to start. If you don’t want 6th page spoilers, that story starts here. Monday, second story will start, Conception and Definition. As a reminder, both stories are already available in print in the Moon Jade Angel #1 sketchbook/artbook/short comic collection. Page 5 is up, enjoy! Only one more page to go until the end of Planet Adam. And I’ll just remind: this story (and the next two) are available in Moon Jade Angel #1. Well, this is the last image of the batch I pencilled awhile ago. This marks 9 finished pieces for Inkbook #2, and I can see it’s already starting stronger than the first one did. In fact, I think I’ll try shooting for 52 pieces this time. That leaves 43 to go.
So, I guess Inkbook #2 won’t be all monsters after all. Here’s the two pieces I inked today. Both started kinda miserably and I struggled a lot to pull out something interesting from the pencils, but in the end I think they came out fine.
As you can see, the pencils were quite different. The guy in front was meant to be the main focus, but as I was trying to fix the anatomy/proportions, I kept on making weird tangents with the monster’s legs or back, so in the end I scrapped him, deciding the beast would be more interesting.
I started with the wings (took me 3 or 4 attempts to get them to look fine) and then kind of on a whim, I did the shadow cast by the right wing on the beast’s back. That sort of made the whole click in my mind and fall into place (before that I had no clear idea of where the light should be coming from). From then on it was just a matter of sticking to that and building the background around the grid (which got partially reworked too).
The larger version of the full image can be found in the previous post. About… uhh… three hours of work? four? I lost track of time to be honest. As usual, it ended up looking totally different than planned, but I’m quite proud with the results.
