Hey guys,
This project has taken way longer than I expected
One of those projects where you just keep drawing and drawing and drawing and it never seems to end.
I will start with given you something different I did for this project: an illustrated script in PDF format for those who enjoy reading. And another layer of the creative process.
And I think I’ll end up getting reflective in this WIP. But first, I’ll share the creation process for the first three pages of the comic.
When I say I’ll get a little reflective, it’s because I’m a big fan of progress and learning. Over time, I’ve become more demanding of myself and the quality of my work.
Tsunade isn’t the first Naruto project we’ve done for GiantesGirlComics.
We also did Hinata, and I started comparing them. Look at the evolution of our work over time. The commitment to making better drawings, improving skin tones, adding highlights, sweat, etc
Each of these things takes time, and I’ve talked about reducing these details to finish projects faster. But in the end, that very perfectionism and desire to do the best possible work betrays me.
I need to change my mindset, and that’s what I have to do next, no matter what. It’s going to have a style more similar to the original work we did when we started Giantessgirlcomics. A return to basics.
I remember being able to finish 5-6 page comics a week. The Korra one, the Android 18 one, etc.
But that was it, a simpler coloring style.
In fact, Mandy was a good attempt at this, but I fall back into this tendency to overload the text and not know how to summarize. But I’ll work with these images constantly to understand the stylistic goal.
So, I’m telling you that the next step will be a return to our roots with touches of improvements to the drawings I’ve been able to refine in this time.
And the challenge is almost psychological: not to go overboard and try to add too much.
Anyway, wish me luck, and I hope you like the result of that new project.
As well as the result of this one of Tsunade, which took me a good number of hours. And I’m happy with the final work. Thanks, MIKEOCBURNS, for suggesting Tsunade; I love this character.
But her evolution may not be over yet. The poll will decide whether we continue with another set of Tsunade images or move on to another character.
Have a good time, guys.
