My comic

[ArtofAleksey]

Here are some stuff I’ve been doing to figure out better designs for the things ive drawn
Spaceships:

[ArtofAleksey]

[ArtofAleksey]

Asteroids (gonna mess with silhouettes a bit more for this part)

Asteroid “city”

[ArtofAleksey]

Did some more design sketches of the space terminal. I think i like the “weight” of 2 and the “length” of 7. Might play around with combining them.

[Heather Boyd]

@ArtofAleksey YEAH! The terminal train conductor? if that's what he's called....lifting his hat and that smile gave me giggles. I will keep reading.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd yeah haha

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok updated some parts. Heres a revisit to the characters

[baileyvidler]

This is really neat! I love the textures in the asteroids. How long is the finished comic going to be?

[ArtofAleksey]

@baileymvidler not sure, i think its gonna be ongoing right now i wrote 30 pages.

[akterrey]

i love this!

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok second go around seems to be better already

[ArtofAleksey]

Was able to find time to get back at it again

[ArtofAleksey]

Page 2!
Ive figured out a process that works for me! I printed out a small template of a miniaturized version of a comic page to do my thumbnails and roughs. Then scanned it and lowered the opacity and enlarged the image, printed it out and traced over it on tracing paper. The next step would be to scan it and enlarge it again, and reprint it on 11x17 paper then ink it

Penciled update

[korilynneillo]

This is super fantastic work!! I'm super impressed with your background details - your setting feels so real! I can't wait to see more.

[ArtofAleksey]

@korilynneillo do they really? Haha i really struggle with environments so thank you.

[ArtofAleksey]

Gettin better at inking and figuring out a process. I think the lighting came out a bit too dynamic haha.

[Heather Boyd]

@ArtofAleksey that's how I have currently done as well that process: thumbnail, scan, edit, resize, print.

[Heather Boyd]

@ArtofAleksey all the panels aside from the swoosh swoosh one look good. Swoosh swoosh train one is harder to identify because there is so much dramatic contrast. Perhaps the kid one as well.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd gotchya thanks heather. Hopefully it will be easier once I color it. Maybe I should just keep things simple with this comic. You think I might be overdoing things?
