Today we are officially back on project.
Move is complete
network is up and running
------------------- feels good to be working on this again
OK,
We are going to resume the process on a limited basis.
We need some replacement equipment before we go full steam ahead but
there is some stuff we can do before that arrives.
so long story short, we are working on the comic again.
Fatherfungus
Today we finish the last renders needed for issue 1
YEA
so we can start packing for the move yea
on short notice ya
BUZZ KILL
once we finishing the move, things will
get going again as fast as we can.
OK, we are finishing up the 3D render work and we have decided to keep working
on schedule until we get closer to moving time.
With that in mind, we currently are working on the second to last
page (render work) so the render portion of this
issue will be done shortly (YEA!)
As disclosed earlier, next will be the art work. (more fun)
wish us luck.
Long story short, Landlord wants to cash in on the 'inflation' so as our rental lease came up for renewal,
he raised the offered rate by 35%. Yea - wants me to accept a 35% increase in rent. For 1 year.
..................... NOPE
so, will be doing a relocation.
The graphic novel is on hold until the relocation is complete.
See you all in 3 months, give or take.
We have approx. 5 more days of 3D model work
HURRAY !
..... getting really tired of 3D models.
Do keep in mind there is a LOT of artwork
that needs to be done (it is more fun to do though)
Sneak peeks will return when the art work starts back up
PEACE
Update -
We have about 8 more pages worth of 3D assets to create and
then we can return to the 'art' phase of the project continuing
with inking, setting up the frames on the page ... speed lines,
sound FX, bubbles (text) and final clean up.
When will it be released?
After group discussions, when all of the 3D assets
are completed on Issue 2. We have revised
and simplified our work process so that would
be phase 2
phase 1 - rough draft.
phase 2 - create 3D assets as needed
phase 3 - inking and setting up frames
phase 4 - speed lines and sound FX
phase 5 - dialog and text
phase 6 - clean up
phase 7 - publish.
once we are done with the assets, we should be able to put out more 'sneak peeks'
have fun
Tis 6-1-2022
and still doing work on the comic (pretty much 8+ hours a day.)
I can't show you what I am working on but it is not
because of spoilers this time.
It is a gory scene and I do not want to have issues with the
various 'morality' police on various social media site so
it is easier just to say ... nope, can't see it until you buy the comic.
Nothing better than trying to sneak in dinner while moving around
3D models of internal organs .... yum :-/ lol
so hang in there, there will be at least 1 more leaked shot ... but
that is near the end of this issue.
CHOW
Officially we are switching from 'part-time' hobby
to 'full time' job. oh joy ... :-S
This is because after checking production times
and requirements to put out an (almost) 60pg graphic
novel at least semi annually we needed to invest more
time in the production.
Since semi annual is the goal ... production had to increase.
..............
so that is where we are.
:-D
5/23/2022
We are still working on the graphic novel issue 01.
I have not posted any pictures lately because we are
working in the 'spoiler zone'. ... sorry.
We are currently finishing up render work on page 38.
It was a very involved page that required a LOT of renders.
Have fun and be safe all.
The hard thing at this point is to >not< show
pictures in the progress because we are firmly in the spoiler zone.
sorry, really cool stuff.
Issue one will feature some time jumping in the story
as it will be necessary. After that, it will be limited
to a flash back or two for one particular character.
The main part of the story starts in 2026 in an
alternate version of earth. Similar to our earth but
different. Mutations do exist but much rarer than
in the MCU. There are all the usual Governments and such,
no direct relation to the current ones. Do not expect
any of the leaders to be the same as the real ones.
THIS IS FICTION !
In my world, there are secret organizations ... lol duh
The soul is a trans dimensional entity.
Organic matter (from the dimension earth exists in) can not
cross physically into other dimensions. Key word, organic.
Aliens exist - all of them are ... alien in all respects. (This is not Star Trek)
You will have hard time finding totally 'good guys' and 'bad guys'
most fall with in a large 'gray scale'.
All religions in this world have absolutely zero connection to real
ones, they may use similar names and terms but they are in no
way anything like real ones, for better or worse.
that will be it for today
Things are move briskly however as the issue starts reaching
... 'important' parts of the story, the material will be kept secret.
Which is now ... sorry
HOWEVER !
once the visuals are done and we go to sound FX
and dialog, then I will be able to post more stuff
(about things in the front half of issue 1.)
Each issue will have a beginning, middle and end (usually)
but they are also chronological [after issue 1, issue 1 is the exception].
So there is a strong story moving in the background that
will at some point boil up to the surface.
For everyone peeking in now and then, sorry I don't have more for you
but we are moving forward.
peace
Got good news and ... meh news.
Good News _ the from cover of issue 1 has been finalized.
the MEH news ... can't show it to ya
sorry.
Things are moving forward as we have finished all base sets
and we are polishing and fixing renders to be ported over to clip studio
for text, sound FX and dark inking etc.
PEACE
No stream today
we are working, it is just non-stop renders which are boring to watch.
So we expect to be streaming again tomorrow
Todays stream has been canceled due to required system and software
updates.
It happens ... lol see you tomorrow.
ok, tested the streaming and seems to be ok.
BONUS ---> since all the heavy lifting (rendering) is being done off site on
a server farm, it will no longer effect stream quality
score !
ok, we will shoot for noon tomorrow PST
AND, our hardware is not up to the task of rendering the newer more realistic models.
so we quit, was a good try to that is it....
NOT !
ok, we will be down for 1 month while we switch over to a more modern
solution. Cloud computer services.
This will bring up costs but cure a laundry list of issues.
so, see you next month.
This will be our first show with a new stream service provider.
Link available from the link list to the right 'Stream M-F'
This next stream will be centered on a T-Shirt design connected to the comic.
Ok, we are moving the stream location (again) to hopefully a
perm. new location.
