I usually leave the announcement of a new issue up for about 2 weeks before posting any details of the next project. However, due to numerous reasons, I am a little later than usual this time — a combination of "real life" work, "real life" in general, other behind-the-curtain website stuff. Do not fret, however, as work on the next issue, titled "Intermission", has begun!
While the pencil drawing has not yet started, I will be beginning this stage very soon. Work has been progressing on issue 3 since only a few days after the release of issue 2. I have been giving tweaks to the script, as well as to the thumbnail sketches of each page. I have also taken the entire issue and layed out the panels and text in actual size. This allows me to know exactly how much room the narration and dialogue take up so that I can draw each picture properly.
In addition, I have been rendering numerous backgrounds and setting up Poser stills to use as reference so that I get the proper size/height ratio of our heroine to the other characters in the story. I also use the Poser models to test various "camera angles" for dramatic effect. The preview in this post shows a wireframe rendering of rough Poser models imported into the 3D modeling program that I use for the backgrounds.
OH! And if you haven't checked out my DeviantArt Gallery, go there now for a 2560 x 1440 px image for a desktop wallpaper from issue 2. (*Note: at least for me, DeviantArt has been quite flaky recently in drawing its webpages onscreen... I think they may be having server trouble.)
