Psu: It's one of my favorites too. I drew very differently in those days, you can see it in the way Cassiopeia has more defined...

Gunwild: This is a bit of a wordy comic, I know, but I want to make sure everybody sees it, because Psu sure did a cool-looking alien design!
Psu: Guh, it's like 4am. What page are we commenting on?
Gunwild: This one!

Yoink! Clulu and Krad are two characters who clearly have it out for Prince Gleb. What with his altruistic yet sneaky ways, it's no surprise he can make enemies... but he always plays it cool, in any ...

This was actually drawn years ago! It's always been canon that Cassiopeia's wristbands and ankle bands are the only physical clothes she wears. They emit the rest of her outfit using holofields. It...

Psu: This is really a perfect example of the kind of paneling I don't do anymore. And it's not because I don't like it, but because the needs of each story have changed a lot. If you were going...

Patrons for the month of October, here you go! Your pinup's ready, and you're bound to agree, Psu's done great!
The upcoming page features Prince Gleb and two all-new Vanaa... who are, unfortunately, not the friendly, adorable kind.
Gunwild: That's a lot of characters to introduce in one panel!
Psu: I remember pretty fondly about how you described in detail a whole lot of this crew. And this was knowing that, at t...

Here's a bonus behind-the-scenes art update, before Halloween is out: the costume we didn't go with for Ashley. This is what was written in the script - the little devil-horned girl dressed as an a...

This is a pretty complicated page, but it's not every day we get to include something outright SPOOOOOKY! Hopefully Psu will enjoy drawing that, even though it's bound to be a lot of work.
Gunwild: I'd probably have paced these pages differently if I'd known they were gonna be in a webcomic released a page at a time. Or I'd have tried, anyway, but that was a whole separate skill ...

Gunwild: This is from before her outfit was finalized.

Kettlehead and Talps both look a little different than usual, but it's for good reasons! Look forward to this week's update!
Gunwild: The quote in the alt-text lets you know I thought the use of magnetic harpoons in Snow Crash was awesome. The fifth panel also has the sound effect "FPOON" because of that one Key &...

Oooo, what's she looking at? You can't see, because it's the sketch phase... how mysterious!

By the way, new Patrons, please scroll back through 2016-10-02 09:20:03 +0000 UTC View Post
The lines are given weight when they become final, and so the figures gain definition.
Here's the redline phase, where sketches become more concrete shapes, "corrected" from the sketchy, loose ones. This about determines where the final lines will go on the page.
So, this is the sketch phase. The script is turned into some loose art so we can know what the page will look like. This also involves the critical step of the layout being established.
There a...
