No. 11 - Excuses excuses.

So I've been busy. I moved house, I got a dog, I had 8 years worth of hair growth removed from my hair. All pretty epic things. The first of which left me without internet for a good while. The first two left me insanely busy. The last just left me slightly cold around the ears but it's still pretty epic.

I might have to work pretty hard to have the next comic up by Sunday. I did have a buffer mind you. Now I don't.

Anyhoo.

So this page broke the mould for me. Back when I drew the comic by hand everything had to be at a fixed zoom*. Apparently these days it doesn't. I didn't really have any plans to zoom out for panel one, but then I tried to fit an entire room into a double panel and realised it couldn't be done, that's one advantage of building each room featured in the comic like it's a stage, I do that now.While I was at it I put the bottom right panel(s) as 125% zoom for dramatic effect. I'll try not to over use it though.

*I used to draw the comic around a 2 pence piece (which makes sense because I'm British), the whole comic idea and certainly the style came from seeing what I can draw using a circle as a base...

... I might of have more to say on that. I'll mention it if it comes up. Right now I'm a bit distracted, dogs are distracting... So update! Yay.

I'll try and have a new one up on Sunday.

No. 10

I've been looking forward to this moment for ages! Of course it would have happened a lot sooner without the hiatus. I'm getting the hang of lighting effects, just about. Maybe.

No. 9 - So far, so good

Having the comic running again is fun. Though I have found myself distracted by making Project Wonderful ads. It's no good advertising the comic if I don't make the updates it.

The problem I faced in this page was the lighting. Considering S-C was supposed to prepare me for making RTP it failed as far as working out lighting is concerned. A simple drop in light was easy enough to create but combining that with the light from the Frefly was trickier. I also wanted light to be coming from the open lift doors which I managed to a degree. Maybe it's too dark now, I'm not sure. I even considered forgetting about the lighting effects altogether but then that sort of ruins the creepy atmosphere. Oh and look, something can wipe the smile of Robot's face.
