May comic update
🕑 Added 2022-05-30 20:16:40 +0000 UTCSo like I mentioned before, I'm taking some time to prepare the upcoming Aedele comic, and I'd like to update you where I'm at now, share some thoughts and goals. So here we go:
- This comic should work as a complete introduction to Aedele. No previous knowledge required.
- I want to show that Aedele is a famous thief. I want the introduction to contain a one page collage weight gain sequence of Aedele over time. Show that this isn't her first rodeo and that she's infamous as a thief.
- I also want to show that she is a well known plus-sized model who is a bit of a simp for the pirate queen Marie-Sol (Whose treasure she will steal from a museum exhibit).
- I have decided to aim for 16 pages of content, of which about 4 are introduction (trying to condense it down to three pages so the middle can get more), 5 pages for the middle act, 5 for the climax, and then two pages for the ending.
- As for the art style of the comic, I mentioned before that the Aedele sequence earlier this month was a test bed for the art style. That holds true. I expect to stick to flat colours largely, with blacks for shadows. Compared to the sequence, I'll probably use less shading overall. In scenes that are well lit, black shadows will not be used.
- Also similar to the sequence, I'll be using those blueprint narrator boxes to have Aedele narrate her plan. The plan might go a little wrong at some points.
That's pretty much what I got for this month. I'm hoping to have some storyboards done next month. I hoped to get started on it this month, but the easter drive ate up some effort.
