Brace for critique.
A big success. A good angle, helped considerably by four or five messy ink thumbnails in my sketchbook. You should really see them. You're going to have to trust me that ... oh, for god's sake, hang on.
honestly, I do so much work, and then I do even more documenting it. But I'm going to bother getting up and taking a photo of these thumbnails and you're going to take my word for it that my absolutely gorgeous creative process operates just like this for all my work.
Here, you can see in the bottom right of this spread and top left of the next spread I figured out Antonia's pose as she speaks to Whackus Bonkus. Key points I needed to showcase were hand casting light (for interesting lighting point), sword on lap. This meant slightly top down perspective to showcase the sword best. Toyed with an over the shoulder shot but I preferred the frontal shot. Makes you feel like you're watching her more intimately.
In the first spread you see notes for the comic and piece of writing I created before (see this post).
In the second spread you see some thumbnails for a more complicated scene, where I try and capture the bath houses of Cerric. I'll try to remember to ATTACH it when I make that visual diary post, because I completed the illustration this morning.
Important that you see evidence of the way my creative process takes shape in these notes and thumbnails.
