Thanks to all those who have commented on my last posts or are interested in my health! <3
I'm better, I just have a cough so I went back to work ! ^_^
Needless to say, I can't wait to finish pag. 22, there are still a few hours of work left but it will have been worth it!
It is the most hard page made so far.
Obviously I won't be able to do all the pages like this in the future, some will be faster, with fewer backgrounds, more talking faces, also because I have to recuperate the work rhythms of this work.
But I hope you appreciate my effort in the BKG, and I make you a premise.
I am a manga reader and I have often noticed that many mangakas do not draw backgrounds, they use photographs of existing places, modify them with a filter, a photocopy effect, which makes them similar to photos of newspapers, with scratches and dots, in black and white .
In other cases they use pre-packaged stickers of places, which are sold in Japan as tools.
Oh...I'd like to work like that...but mine is a colored comic book, not a manga.
I am not an architect and I hate to draw perspectives ... they are boring and difficult, but in PBB-Next I will not use any make-up, if there is to draw the city I design all the buildings, one by one, adding people and all the details.
Maybe I won't do it often in the future but in this chapter I want to set the environment in which the story takes place and I want to present all the places, main buildings, surroundings where the story is setting, to the reader.
So thank you for the patience of these kind of pages!
New page will seems a postcard from Bon Bon XD
See you soon!

2019-10-18 15:28:59 +0000 UTCYou're right, in the future, especially during the dialogues, there will be fewer and less detailed backgrounds, but the first chapter is introductory and needs an immersion of the viewer who will then remain in memory even when he will no longer see the backgrounds but will know with a small reference where the action takes place. Then he will remember these scenes, which must be done at the beginning.

2019-10-18 15:21:26 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear that you're doing a lot better now, Vanessa. :D Like Silvador said, I believe too that you drawing the buildings in such detail for the first chapter is important. :o It creates a world where the reader feels immersed. :) But like Silvador also said, it's probably better to only do REALLY detailed backgrounds in far future pages (especially future chapters) for important scenes. :O But that's just what I think. ^-^; No matter what, your backgrounds (whether they be complex or simple) are really outstanding, Vanessa. ^o^ They really look like buildings from the 1890's. :3 Also the idea of the new page looking like a "postcard" from Bon Bon sounds awesome! X3

2019-10-13 21:24:12 +0000 UTCThis new page has a lot of detail, showing the city and its buildings. As this is an "introductory" page, essentially introducing the reader to Bon Bon's scenery, I feel it is important to show such detail. However, later pages can show less detail, simpler shapes and colours. It's a common practice in animated cartoons and comics to streamline details, simplify the more intricate parts in order to lessen the work load on the artist and quicken the production time. Such greater details are typically saved for important scenes or close-ups. I don't think anyone would blame you for using this method. :)
