GC#4, page 91 completed!

I really didn't think I would finish page 91 today, as "RL" work unexpectedly hit me hard this morning. I originally thought I would be able to post this page by lunchtime, and continue on to the last page this afternoon. Nope. After spending most of the day scrambling to make a last minute deadline for a big project, I took a few hours to finish up this page, which I started yesterday. Sorry for the vague preview, but we are getting to the end of the issue! :) Just one more page and the cover of issue 6 to go! (And I finally decided on what will appear on said cover, which I've been mulling over for the last 3 or 4 weeks!)

GC#4, page 90 completed! 2 to go!

By working another late night, I was able to complete page 90 within the normal 2-day turnaround. With no one else around, I decided to use the time to catch up on finishing the page. "RL" work is starting to slowly pile up, slowing down my progress. But we are getting so close, that I don't want to have everything come to a halt. I'm doing my best. Overall, a very good page, and probably one that will go into the "No-text Art Gallery" at the end of the issue! Enjoy the preview!

GC#4, page 89 completed!

I had to see if I could get one more page done before the weekend, and with the completion of page 89, I can say "Mission Accomplished"! I had to stay later to do so, but it was worth it. Of course, with the page being within the last 4 pages of the issue, picking a preview without giving too much away at this point was not easy. After cropping and starting again about 4 or 5 times, I came up with this one. I know it's not as exciting as the others, but anything else may have shown too much. However, you have to ask yourself, just what is our hero, Jon, shocked at? What can he be looking at so incredulously? Stay tuned!

GC#4, page 88 completed!

Staying a little later today, I was able to complete page 88. This one was a bit challenging, especially with the camera angles. As the backgrounds are done separately, using Google Sketch, and then composited later, I had to go back and forth a few times until the rendered background's angle matched the drawn angle of the characters. Add to that was the fact that the angles were not straight on, and it was a bit more work than usual for the backgrounds. Only 4 more pages to go!

Oh, I almost forgot — here is the latest "progress map" so you can see how far we have to go in relation to the entire issue.

GC#4, page 87 completed! Issue 3/4 done!

With the completion of page 87, I am now 75% done with issue 5, "All's laid bare in Love and War." I thought I would have this page done yesterday, but it turned out to be more labor intensive than I originally thought. However, I think the results more than make up for the extra time needed. Only 5 more pages and the cover to the next issue to go! The update pace may slow a bit, as more "RL" work is filling my schedule, but nothing that should cause any huge disruptions. Enjoy the preview!

GC#4, page 86 completed!

For the third time this week, issue 5 of grOw/cOmic#4 has progressed with the completion of page 86. I thought I would get this page done sooner, but I now realize how many layers of detail are going into each panel. And, all of these layers of detail went into every panel of this particular page. The background has been a little more of a challenge in this issue, as it has a lot more going on than the previous few issues. Enjoy the preview! 6 more pages to go!

GC#4, page 85 completed!

Yes, for a second day in a row, I am posting an update with the completion of page 85! Not that it wasn't detailed like the others — for it was. However, the page has less panels and characters, as well as the fact that I got a good start on it yesterday after posting that update. I'm making good progress on this much-anticipated issue. Only 7 pages and the cover to issue 6 to go! Enjoy the preview!
