Arnve's Exile - Comic Project

Here are my completed 8 pages of comic story for my latest project. The story isn't over (in my mind) and I may continue drawing pages in my spare time, when inspiration strikes.
I call it "Arnve's Exile" - Arnve being the name I've given the main character.

"With the coming of the tide

And with the endless violet night,

Somebody new is brought ashore

To test the lands of time once more"

"Having the vines blocking way back

She must by some means keep on track,

The dark and deadly chasm overcome

And not to fear and dread succumb."

Info:
Written and Illustrated by Mariya Olshevska
"Original" pages are 8.5 x 11 inches
Bristol/water color paper
Koh-i-Noor color inks
0.05 + 0.1 micron pens and tracing paper for the inks

My basic process was: small thumbnails (mini roughs) ---> tight pencils ---> inked 11x17 pages ---> lettering and panel layout in Illustrator ---> printing on watercolor paper and painting with waterproof colored inks. The painting took between 12-16 hours I think.

Anyway - there are quite a number of things I know could/should be changed and the project looks quite different from what I originally envisioned it to be...but oh well. Next time will be better!


Thanks for reading! :)

Lost & Found Comic

So, for my Illustration Comics class I'm working on an 8 page comic. The story of the comic isn't limited to 8 pages, but we have to have 8 finished pages by the end of this semester - penciled, inked, coloured, and with text (if applicable).

The following are 4 of my inked pages so far. The pencil lines for the gutters will be replaced with digital gutters later, and I plan to adjust my panels according to today's critique=)
I won't post the story here, anyone reading will just have to wait in suspense and see how it evolves=)

Materials: 0.05 + 0.1 micron pens and tracing paper
Size: 11 x 17 inches


Happy Monday!
