WE'VE BEEN WORKING! Main channel upload THIS MONTH (Patreon)
Content
My assistant Yap Chung Shing and I are working hard on STARBARIANS stuff - he's doing an amazing job animating and I am helping while grinding out comic pages...
Big comic announcement arriving on the main channel this month!
Here is a new shot from STARBARIANS 4 by Yap Chung Shing. He roughed, timed, animated and coloured the shot by himself, based on voice acting and a quick character design by me (below).
This new purple alien heckler's design lead to me redesigning another heckler that we've just started animating now -- because you can't have TWO purple alien hecklers!
Old (BUSTED) design on the right - not the same shade of purple but close enough.
Here's the updated heckler design and some other designs from this week...
And below are some rough animations I passed over to Yap to clean up/inbetween and colour.
MEANWHILE I am locking in a colourist to help on the comic. That's meant doing lots of these universal coloring guides in print-friendly CMYK colours.... I guess I had to decide that Hogstrong has ORANGE eyes -- who knew??
I am now focusing on black and white pages as I think I've found my colourist (more on that soon). 1 page per day if I can manage!
Rough pages from yesterday (below)
Yap and I are just two people and I need to be able to fund a lot more assistants to create the volume of work that I know viewers want (several good shorts per year, not one every twelve months!).
This is how a large scale animated series happen.
THANK YOU to all you great patrons and supporters that have been so patient and generous - your support will continue to fuel the steam engine, and I strongly believe the comic will help hypercharge that engine into something supersonic. Any excess profit the comic makes will go towards getting some more paid assistants and then we're really blasting off...
