TM528- comp and notes

I decided to do the bad thing and show you what my pages look like under the bubbles. I AM SO LAZY I'm sorry, this is why I never show the art without bubbles, lol. Every page, man. When I had to do the KS book it was embarassing because I had to send my files to the gal who did the major color corrections, and she totally called me out v__v My thought is... if I was drawing it on a piece of paper I would also probably just bake the bubble right onto the page, so that art under the bubble doesn't exist in any dimension, right? r-right... 

Don't you think it's weird that people get so offended when we tell them we're acting like our parents? I remember my dad did that to my mom one time and... yeah it wasn't good. Even when the parent is a good parent, I think people resent the implication that they're doomed to repeat the mistakes they were raised with. People want to feel autonomous, virtuous, etc, and not pre-programmed by some outside entity, especially not one they likely grew up critiquing to some extent. My bf told me I was acting like my mom in jest recently, and I commented back that his bad behavior made me feel like I was his mom too, which I gave myself a mental high-five for. BUT ALSO too real, dangerous jokes, haha. Anyways, best not to take stuff like that too seriously, unlike these two. Then again my parents don't have deathhands, I'm sure I'd feel a little different if that was the case.

Ah, probably because she (correctly) thought I thought I could get away with it forever XD I don't like showing people the seedy underbelly of my pages if I can avoid it... the only reason I did here is I took the screencap, then closed the giant file, then realized I'd forgotten to turn on the bubbles (and was once more too lazy to fix it, haha)

Why was your colour correction person calling you out? Did she have trouble with anything? Well, I would not call it lazy, efficiency is key in webcomics, right? Time saved is time gained..or something.

I hope so XD What it actually does is it allows me to not spend time on stuff that doesn't really matter, and lets me get art/ pages out a little faster... if I were an engineer it would probably be called "efficient," but I'm an artist and find self-deprecation to be more amusing

Der-shing Helmer

Hey, your laziness in this regard is more than made up for by your attention to detail in all other aspects!

more like proved my point completely XD Most people do not notice if my perspective is off, because in nature it is very very hard to tell without straight edges, and even moreso without a horizon. It is VERY cheap to do this, and I also employ it in the jungle scenes in The Meek because... man forests are just so nice to draw, deserts too, rocks, all that stuff. It's why cityscapes and architecture and interiors (and CARS) suck so hard, you cannot just throw some rocks on it and call it a day, you have to calculate angles and stuff, argh, haha

I was going to note this great tip for use but then remembered MI is mainly underground and... I think you just disproved yourself

Now everyone knows your shame and not just me X)

Oh, the corrector was just making fun of me for being lazy (I am very lazy). There's no real difference for the reader; you just read what you read, it's all good. But this means I can't always use full panel art, cuz I don't draw the whole panel, and sometimes if I get super duper lazy I get perspective issues. To get around that, make your entire comic underground.

Der-shing Helmer

But I mean, you shouldn't waste hours drawing something that will never be shown, right? Although I may have misunderstood since I don't know much about the corrector's process
