grOw/cOmic#5, page 24 completed!

Well, it took a while as compared to the last few pages, but I was finally able to finish page 24. A number of things caused the completion of this latest page to take longer, including: the Memorial Day weekend, "real life" work, some red tape with my website host, and the fact that this page is quite complicated in terms of detail, faces, overlapping of items, and background integration. The "overlapping of items" refers to instances such as (but not limited to) when the main girl has torn clothing (which may overlap other body parts), may be wearing tight clothing (in which skin may overlap), and hair. When you have these areas of overlap, it takes more time to isolate and mask these areas so that they can be colored. Plus, just the fact that there are more "area to color" takes longer as well.

grOw/cOmic#5, page 23 completed!

Whew! This last page was a detailed one, but I was finally able to complete it, and can now present the preview for page 23. The more people in a scene (especially if their faces are shown), plus the more panels on a page, can all add up to more time needed to finish. Faces require much more detail, and that detail also takes extra care to craft properly. This page had 10 bodies and 8 faces. 

Enjoy the preview!  And to my U.S. readers, enjoy the Memorial Day holiday weekend!

grOw/cOmic#5, page 22, completed!

Whoot!  Another day, another page! I was able to pump out page 22 in only one day, getting a second preview to my blog in as many days. The next page won't be so quick, as it is a much more detailed page. Until then, enjoy the newest preview, which is the color version of a pencil preview shown earlier for this issue.

grOw/cOmic#5, page 21 completed!

Taking extra time due to its complexities, multiple panels, and numerous facial expressions, page 21 is now complete! This was a great page to work on, with lots of angles and close-ups of certain... ahem... fun parts! :) I think the preview says it all. Enjoy!

grOw/cOmic#5, page 20 completed!

I made really good progress today, completing the second page of the second issue — page 20. This page was an easier page, and thus, I was able to pump it out just 1 day after the last. The next page, however, may take a bit more, as it is noticeably more complicated.  Enjoy!

grOw/cOmic#5, page 19 completed!

The previews for issue 2 begin with this sneak peak of page 19 (which is the first page of issue 2). This page took a little longer than I thought it would, as I was dealing with some "real life" work, as well as getting used to the new Adobe Creative Suite CS6 upgrade that I just switched to a week ago. Enjoy! It's now on to page 20...

GC#5, issue 2 pencils complete!

The pencil drawings for issue 2 have been completed!  Titled "Big Screen Premiere!", issue 2 will be 18 pages long. I also was able to take the time to scan the pages, and make the necessary adjustments to them as well. All of this work will allow me to start on the ink and painting of them today! During the process, I had to prerender most of the backgrounds — to make sure that my drawings would align to them properly. Having done this will help speed up the completion of issue 2. Enjoy the second pencil preview for now. Color previews of each page will be showing up soon!

GC#5, issue 2 pencils two-thirds done!

For the last week or so, I have been working hard at pencil drawing issue 2 of the grOw/cOmic#5 series. Chapter 2 will be titled, "Big Screen Premiere!"
and feature: miniGTS (<20'), BE (huge), AssE, clothes ripping, sitting, sexual situations (mF). 

I had hoped to be further along in terms of page count; however, looking back at how much work I had to do to get to this point, I am not disappointed. This issue so far has some of the most detailed and "background interactive" drawing so far. Between the characters  engaging with the background, or dramatic angles and "camera work", I've had to do some serious planning before hitting pencil to paper. I've also had to set-up and render the backgrounds to almost 75% of the panels before I drew anything, so that the camera angles would come out correct. This amount of background pre-rendering is more than any other grOw/cOmic I've done!

Six more pages to go, and then it will be time for ink and paint! And then, the full-color previews will begin again in my blog!  Enjoy the pencil preview for now!

grOw/cOmic#5, issue 1 RELEASED!


grOwing Appreication
Chapter 1: "Previews" 
18 color pages, plus 2 cover versions, and special "Going to the Movies" Image Appendix

Part 1 of a 5-issue series.

Jack was ecstatic, as any giantess fan would be! His favorite movie, "Assault of the Fifty Foot Woman" had been remade by the huge Hollywood director, Stephan Spelburg! He HAD to see it! Upon arriving at the theater on opening night, however, he was disappointed with the turnout, as people stayed home in droves due to a freak solar flare phenomenon. Even his girlfriend Jennie, arriving dressed "in costume" for the premiere, did little to mollify his frustration over a streak of bad luck that night.

But strange forces were at work in the theater that night as Jennie soon discovered that her clothes were getting tighter... and shorter.

Category: GTS (Tall Girl <9'; Gentle), slow growth, Breast Expansion (unknown: big, huge), clothes ripping; as well as scenes of GTS (50'), growth, building destruction.
