Marci, Ch 02 Page 02


So, FINALLY it's page 02. I had real trouble finishing this one, and all but scrapped one version. Huge thanks to Francesca, creator of the gorgeous Penny Blackfeather ([link]) for her constant nagging- without it I'm not sure how long it would have taken me! 


I'm still struggling with a comic that requires words, so I've switched to a font rather than handwriting... I'm so concerned about people not being able to read it, but at the same time I want it to look scratchy and not "KABLAM-y"... argh!

Quick Marci Portrait

A quick portrait of Marci to get me back in to the swing of painting, after a really long block. the first digital painting of Marci ever! I hope it looks like her.

New Marci!

So here we are, the very first page of issue 2! Text and words and things are all very new to me, so I'm trying to keep it simple and retain the painty feel by handwriting all my lines. The only problem is... I'm not sure people can read my hand writing! So, if you feel my penmanship is too sloppy to make out at this size, please do let me know and I will tidy things up quick smart :)
Anyway, on with the Marci- new people, new locations, NEEEW!

Marci, P23



And so ends chapter One of Marci!I hope you all enjoyed it :)

This has been a fantastic short project, even if it is really just a prologue to a much larger story. Now I will need to take some time out to decide whether I'll forge ahead with the other... 5 chapters or so!

Marci, P17

Only 6 pages left to upload, and 10 days left til Expo! I'd better get to painting something other than our magenta-haired heroine!

What is Marci thinking?

Marci, P16

So after a very late night last night, Issue one of Marci is officially finished! Sent away to the printers with a front cover and everything. Now begins the nervous wait until the printers realise I have no idea whatsoever how to create a print-ready pdf... EEK!

Marci, p14

 

I'm afraid it's back to "all colours of the dirt spectrum" for Marci! Hope you didn't get used to all those other colours!

Marci, P13

oof it's been a while! Unfortunately the flickery monitor and 7 crashes per hour was proving too stressful for my already frayed patience, so I had to take a break from the pc-side of things. Thanks to a very kind donation of a dell monitor, and me shelling out on a very cheap (slowwww) but stable machine, i'm back in business!

Marci, P12

To make up for the not-so-great p11, I thought I'd send along p12 as well- my favorite one so far! Hopefully all these colours are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise dirt-themed  palette :)

Marci, p11

I think this page is a little confusing, so I hope everyone understands the actions in this one!

Marci, p10

This one didn't need too much tweaking so I thought I'd make it a bogoff today!

Massive thanks to my good friend Edward, for taking over my scanning (including all those that need re-scanning- legend!)

Marci, p09... sorta finished

So I finally managed to get the dusty old windows machine even the burglar didn't want, up and running. It crashes about 7 times a day, the monitor crackles, and this leviathan takes 4 minutes to start up... but by God it can run photoshop (kind of). Anyway the monitor truly is horrendous and giving me a headache, so this doesn't have all the tweaks I will need to make in the end but I have a backlog of almost 10 pages to upload!

 

Ooh, what idea has Marci got now?

Marci, p08 finished

As she eats her synthetic, nutritionally enhanced food, Marci can't help but stare at the wonder across the road.

One of my favourite pages so far!
