GC#4, page 82 completed -- the half-way mark!

It took an extra day compared to my previous updates, but I finally finished page 82, which is the half-way mark through this 20-page issue. This page had a number of full-body characters, clothing textures, lighting, complicated backgrounds, and numerous face shots — all of which take extra time. Over the last few pages, I very much like how the sweater texture came out, something I thought I would leave only to the cover, or a few close-up shots. A careful application of Photoshop's liquify command of a flat sweater texture, applied to a layer in "overlay" mode achieved the effect I was looking for even better than I had anticipated.

  1. Now that right there is a TEASE!

    Excellent work BA, this one looks like it's gonna be awesome, and the extra clothing and lighting effects really are appreciated.

  2. The artwork is great, and that you're finding new things in Photoshop is just the cherry on top :)
