Prelude Image + Stream Saturday

Added 2021-05-28 23:30:01 +0000 UTC

High on my list of things to do for the English print version of Oren's Forge was a new prelude image to go opposite the first page.

I've been primarily working on layout for the book. Mostly, unremarkable but necessary little things like re-laying out text from the first 65 pages (I didn't have standardized text it until page 65, so the kerning/leading is all over the place,) and adding art to full bleed panels since I'm making the print version a touch wider than the American Comic Standard ratio.

Here and there, I've redrawn a couple panels that I've wanted to revisit for awhile. Here's one from page 41:

However, I'm getting into the meat of the panels I really wanted to rework, specifically stuff between page 65 - 85. These were done after returning to the comic after a long hiatus so the characters are a little off in places, some stuff I feel like I can execute better, etc.

I figured I'd stream some of the work if anyone's interested in stopping by-- I'll just be chillin' with music, probably won't be super active in chat (no mic, sorry), but if you want to see the process of me going in, wrestling with old PS files, and redrawing stuff... well, come on by Saturday!

I'll probably stream for a couple hours, see how it goes!
