Here's the current snapshot of the comic. Roughs are almost done. All panels are decided (if some rendered too much, some not enough still!), and I'm starting to play with values. Per page, there's going to be at most 2 high-detail panels (with 2 pages an exception), secondary points of interest and simple tertiary ones, the goal is to keep a strong hierarchy and a nice "Z" shape to each page.
I'm jumping ahead to shading without inking, but that's because only the big main panels will be inked, the rest will be kept nice and dynamic. Although some of the panels I went into detail right now will be secondary or tertiary, I'm happy I let myself work this way, because I'm having a lot of fun with every single panel! It's less reliable an approach to how I work for commissioners, but it brings extraordinary freshness to all my current projects! Thank you once again for supporting this project.
The following sneak peeks of the comic proper will resume being for Armigers and up (we're going to individual pages). However, there will be one more update of the character sheet for all tiers, as well as the early designs for the cover and the credits page. Please look forward to more updates in February!
