Making a comic
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 17:48:39 +0000 UTCWhy am I uploading only ten new pages per week?
There's an interesting situation with my comic creation process. For example, right now I have content ready for two months ahead, but I only share ten pages per week. I'd love to share everything as soon as it's ready, but this approach would reveal the true time it takes to create new content.
Let me break down my process using the example of my current project, 'Wish Gone Wrong':
Chapter Creation:
I've just finished Chapter 1(Wish Gone Wrong), which is 48 pages long.
For Chapter 2, I'll need about two months to complete it.
Planning Phase (2 weeks):
Script writing
Creating basic sketches in Paint to plan scenes and text placement
Rendering Process(5 weeks):
I can only render 10 raw scenes per week.
For a 50-page chapter, it takes about five weeks just to get all the raw scenes rendered.
Comic Assembly (2 weeks):
Improving the rendered scenes
Putting everything into comic format with speech bubbles
So, in total, it takes about 2 months to complete a chapter.
I share content at the same rate I can reproduce it, ensuring there's always something to post. This way, you never experience a two-month gap where there's no new content.
I know I could produce more if I didn't care about quality, but I want to improve and grow. I believe in quality over quantity, which is why I take the time to make each comic better than the last.
Here's a more detailed look at how I create each comic:
Script Writing:
I start with the first version of the script.
Visual Planning:
I consider poses and facial expressions that will be visually appealing.
I make sketches using Paint, which helps refine the script by forcing me to think about action and dialogue bubble placement.
Rendering:
Once I have my script and sketches ready, I start the rendering process.
Each scene takes about 2 hours to set up and 2 hours to render.
In a good week, I can complete ten of these.
Post-Processing:
I improve the raw renders using AI correction for things like clothing tightness and body part appearance.
I remove any mistakes and sometimes apply filters to enhance lighting.
Comic Assembly:
I insert all the pages and adjust the speech bubbles.
I fine-tune the script where needed.
I check the story flow at least twice to ensure it makes sense.
For sequels, I make sure there's good continuity with previous parts.
