New full penciled page in my gallery

Sun Nov 15, 2009, 3:25 AM
I've been on vacation visiting Denmark and New Zealand for a month, so during that time my comic has been pretty much on stand-by. So obviously I had serious comic-drawing withdrawal symptoms and I actually did 3 pages of pencils in one week which is really a lot, since I usually only do about a page a week, or sometimes use even longer.

I added page 23 to the Kijara section of my gallery - you can see it here along with a few other penciled pages and other stuff from my comics project:

I'm not gonna post a lot of full pages, not 'cause I've got the whole \"oh-my-god-everybody's-gonna-steal-my-comic-idea\" paranoid/delusional thing going on, but because I don't want to ruin the story by telling too much in advance since people who are gonna read the finished comic also view my profile here. (Even if I can't find a publisher and have to have it printed myself, and it's just gonna be my friends reading it :hmm:)

By the way: I've finally made the dicision on how to do the final lines for coloring - I've decided that I seriously suck at inking, so it's better to do it in pencil. I also kinda think that my drawings look better in pencil than in ink, I like the style and they come more to life - I think I kinda "murder" the page and the drawings when I use inks. So pencil it is. I think I'll scan the first round of pencil sketches and convert them to blue lines in Photoshop, and then I'll print them and do final lines in pencil on top of that. Then I'll scan again and remove the blue lines in Photoshop and voilá: a reasonably clean and clear pencil line I can adjust and color.

I'm from Denmark but I currently live in Vietnam, because my husband who's an electrical engineer is stationed in Hai Phong for FLSmidth. Back home in Denmark I'm on my last year studying for a Masters in psychology, but while I live in Vietnam, I'm working on a standard european size comic album. I've always loved drawing and painting, and I've recently taken up photography as well, but I haven't done a lot of comics before. I've only done a 24-hour comics marathon and a few 1-3 page comics. My inspiration is mostly the European sci-fi comics genre and the American superhero genre - and a lot of movies... I am currently pencilling the comic and expect this to take about a year, because I don't have time to work on it full time. Then I'll need one more year for inking, and one more for coloring... and I already spent 2 years creating the plot, characters and storyboard.
