Weekly Update #5 is here!
This week was a little bit of a "Eureka" moment. At first I was planning on drawing Boomcat the Webcomic in paper, followed by scanning in high resolution, and some editing to the original scan.
But doesn't that sound like a major time killer? Of course it does!
So here's when it comes, I am deciding to make the comic 100% digital, of course drafts will be physical, but the original comic will be drawn with Adobe Illustrator.
How to save time? Well here is when "Project Mr. Potato" comes in, which in theory seems like a great idea. I am currently digitalising characters, as well as expressions, eyes, mouth, shifts, etc, so it will be easier and faster to continue the project of the comic. That way the comic wont just be drawn, but also built. Hence the Mr. Potato name of the project.
Here's a little quick example:
This is a Quick Draft of Albie, just standing around being Albie.
In this Image we have Albie now as Boomcat! All the elements of his suit and his expressions are separate files so I can just insert them and make em' fit good depending on the pose.
See how awesome Project Mr. Potato is? Now I just shifted the pose pretty quick using this idea!
Don't worry this does not mean that we will never have epic drawings in the comic. Epic drawings / scenes will be included anyways!
It's still quite a job to be done! All of Boomcat's shifts and the rest of the characters must be digitalised too!
What do you think of Project Mr. Potato?
