Last week was a slow week, in terms of production on grOw/stOry#13, "New mOOns Rising", which was due to a number of factors. After a long quiet time, "RL" work reared its head, with lots of technical issues that I needed to resolve. In addition, I spent some time in my continuing search for a new host for my store — something more stable, modern, and easy to use.
But on the grOw/stOry side, it was "slow" due to the incredible detail that was needed in the backgrounds of the last few illustrations. Unlike the cOmics, it didn't make sense to take the time to build these backgrounds in some 3D program, as they would not be used more than a few times, and I actually needed many more than just 1 or 2 backgrounds. For example, the last illustration I just completed is a 2-page spread, and the background of a "upper-class" hotel room (albeit, in outer space) was needed. Details in the fabric walls, wood grain, and lighting needed to reflect this ambience. On that note, this illustration is just one of three 2-page spread illustrations that appear in this stOry!
Enjoy the preview!
