Motivation - Pages 50 to 54

Sorry, that this is late. I really wanted to finish page 54 but it took way longer than I expected.

Motivation - Pages 45 to 49

I made good progress this week until I got stuck on a rather unimportant frame.
Now I'm asking myself: should I follow this up with a page of Jake indulging himself or should I directly continue...

Mood....

I'm just creating away.... And then I get to an image where I just can't get the mood right and I have to do multiple renders and it interrupts my confident workflow and I'm using too many "and". <...

Motivation - Page 44

The good news: I'm recovering. The bad news: I managed to create only 1 page this week.

Motivation - Pages 41 to 43

I'm sick for the past few days now and when I looked at my calendar this morning I realized I missed most of Friday and Saturday lying in bed convalescing.

Here's everything I was able to do...

Motivation - Pages 35 to 40

The story must go on. A small warning: I'm not happy with the speech bubbles on page 40. If I find a better way to communicate the same, I will re-write it.

Motivation - Page 34

This was not a good week for me. I can only describe it as a writer block. I know where I want to go with the story, but I just couldn't find the right imagery and words to get there.

Motivation - Pages 28 to 33

I'm trying to separate the experience of time through different styles of imagery. One side is the rigid structure of image after image with a clear time line. On the other there's a confluence of ...

Motivation - Pages 22 to 27

You might have read my earlier post this week. I still haven't found a solution for it, but after several hours of trying I decided to move ahead with what I had.

I'm currently torn if I sho...

Why is it not working?

Same scene setup in all 4 of the images, but depending on how I move my camera for the image the floor doesn't properly render and is just black. It's so annoying and no matter what I try I can't f...

Motivation - Pages 15 to 21

This week this story took a turn...

When I was working on page 18 I suddenly realized that the story I originally envisioned, didn't work as I wanted (mainly due to the topic discusse...

Motivation - Pages 7 to 14

I'm quite satisfied with the pages this week. I'm already working on page 15 but I'm struggling with some design choices. Deciding on how that's going to go, that might also affect the last frame f...

Changing Perspective - The full comic

My apologies, I forgot to upload this last week. So here it is now: The full comic as PDF for download.

Motivation - Pages 1 to 6

Here are the first few pages of the Patreon exclusive visual story "Motivation". I hope you'll like it.

I wanted to create more pages for the first release, but unfortunately Thursday and Fri...

Motivation - Introduction to Jake

This is Jake. He recently suffered a great loss: his father, and last remaining close relative, died.
Now he has to take care of the, at least on paper, prosperous company he inherited.

...

Changing Perspective - Pages 210 to 213

I have the feeling that's it!

Lucas and CJ/Chris certainly have more to experience, but I think we have taken a good look at a pivotal moment in their lives.

If you think more needs to...

Changing Perspective - Pages 206 to 209

On Monday evening I thought "I want to get to this, but I don't know how to start"....
Well, I found a "start" finally, but not sure yet if it's the right one. I might have to rewrite it or make...

Changing Perspective - Pages 203 to 205

I can't wait for end of January when the new Nvidia graphics card line is available for purchase.

By the way next week I hope I can show you another meeting between Chris and Lucas parents. 2025-01-11 14:08:12 +0000 UTC View Post

Changing Perspective - Pages 199 to 202

Sorry, that I publish this later then usual.

New years celebration through a wrench into my (not so well) laid out plans for the week. Do you have that feeling too sometimes when you're so ex...

Changing Perspective - Pages 197 & 198

I'm travelling to visit family over Christmas.

Changing Perspective - Pages 194 to 196

I'm quite unhappy with what I achieved this week. I wanted to, at least, get the transformation sequence done, but due to some problems with a recent Windows update and other factors I had to work ...

Christmas!

I'm pausing subscriptions over Christmas for a month.

I won't stop creating more content, but I'll be on vacation for roughly a week over Christmas to visit family. Also it's Christmas time.<...

Changing Perspective - Pages 189 to 193

I'm getting back to creating more pages again, but page 193 was an unexpected difficulty. I'm still not happy with what I achieved...

It took ages to render as a full setup and had miserable ...

Changing Perspective - Pages 185 to 188

Is it just me that gets a bit weary with the darkness creeping in early in the evening and the constant rain?
I really thought I created more pages over the past week, but alas reality hit me wh...

Changing Perspective - Page 184

What a horrible week? End of November is always the busiest week for me at work, but this week topped what I expected. Too much overtime and too many stupid questions and ideas from co-workers. I b...

Changing Perspective - Pages 178 to 183

Daz3D (which is the software I use to create the rendered images) is so weird sometimes. You have a scene set up, you render one image and it takes 20 minutes. You change the angle of the camera or...

Changing Perspective - Pages 172 to 177

I had to change some small things on page 172 so it's uploaded again.

Changing Perspective - Pages 167 to 172

While working on these pages I noticed how many files there are in my image folder for these pages. Can you believe I rendered more than 1100 images (sometimes partials) for this comic so far?

Changing Perspective - Pages 164 to 166

October and November are always the busiest months at my day job, that pays my bills. That means less time for working on comics and I need more time to relax and recuperate. December should be qui...

Changing Perspective - Pages 161 to 163

Good news, bad news?

While I found a little more time to work on renders, that unfortunately didn't translate to more pages. I really love the new setting, but while it's not highly complex i...
