    Page 2 continuity and layout test

    Notice, if I follow my employer’s script, you might get lost with the continuity by page 2 (when you flip the page) because the word balloon just seems to be floating there. I might add a following panel just to clarify it is the same old man from page 1 playing this kid in tennis. What say you?

    Character Design Consistency Test
    Character Design Consistency Test

    Hello, loyal readers! I’m starting design on my first commissioned indie graphic novel in a while. They say third-party eyes are better at judging consistency than the artist’s. So how does this character look? Is it consistent? Does it look like the same person?

  • Sharp-edge shadow self portrait

    My attempt to create self portraits with sharper-edged shadows, thus making myself look more masculine. You do this by putting the light source closer to the subject, in this case, my face. It doesn’t quite have the same effect as the flash because my bulbs might be a lower color temperature (3500K rather than 5500K, even though it says it is 5500K on the bulbs, mighta been duped).

    And, the best of today’s self portraits…

    The Greek, yes, minimal retouching, all flash
    The Greek, yes, minimal retouching, all flash

    Used the flash and got a surprisingly decent result. The hot light gives a deep shadow but also very sharp and crisp look. The shadow underneath my jaw makes me look more masculine. In my other shots, the softer light wraps around my chubby, boyish face, so I can never quite look as hunky. (I knew I looked different in the previous photos than I see myself in the bathroom mirror!)
