WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! After a little over a year after posting here, I'm back! (although really, this is pretty much talking to myself) This year I have been hard at work creating a comic for AP Studio Art. (My, how the times change.) I wanted to do a comic because why not? I always wanted to make a legit comic instead of dumb doodles with panels in a sketchbook. And it is finally done...ish. I didn't have enough time to fully end the comic so I had to end it on a "TO BE CONTINUED" note. (Boooo.) Oh well. The comic follows the shenanigans of "Martus Blartus," the chivalrous knight. (I guess at that point he's less of a knight than he is a normal warrior...) The character is inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons character I made, "Mart Blart," who had incredible luck. (Martus is a descendant of the original, family tree is still unknown.) The whole comic is just based on, and parodying retro rpgs. So there are some references to video games, of course. (Even a reference to Berserk and a tiny reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) At the beginning of creating this comic, I didn't add a whole lot of shading out of pure laziness, but then I didn't want to be a complete hack, so I eventually shaded the crap out of it. I left the unshaded panels as they were so they would show development and improvement (AP judges like that kind of stuff, right?) And even later I found out how to change the opacity in the art program I used. So I went crazy with it. It helped with shading sometimes, but really I just used it to show transparency and light. It was really fun designing the characters, coloring was a bit annoying, but that's what I always think about coloring. I also made sure to have the characters' outlines be THICK, the superior way to have outlines. I wanted the whole thing to look cartoony, because who doesn't like cartoons?
Man, it feels good to be doing this again. The blogging stuff. Even a bit nostalgic. Ah, Digital Art 1...
