 So I have my first script done. I nearly finished with the second script. There's the train just as I start my voiceover. The second script is a little bit more difficult because I think it's a little bit more complicated. It's just going to be not sure a longer story but I'm trying to figure out how to cut it down a lot. Here are my thumbnails for this first section, first comic. I'm just going to do this even though you probably can't even understand my thumbnails. But what I've done is I've gone through and just laid down really roughly. Thanks Mochi, thanks for that. I've just laid down really roughly all the panels and I've been realising that maybe we just need maybe a couple more pages to help explain the story because it kind of goes from 0 to 10 really quickly. So I'm going to be working on that trying to figure out what I can put in between these sections to bring the story and make it more round. So these are the thumbnails and they don't make sense to you probably but you can probably see where I've just written notes and where I think some panels should maybe be exchanged because it makes more sense sequentially. Can you walk off Mochi? Yeah, so that's that done. Now I'm thinking what do I want to do developmental like creative concept art wise and I'm just doing some character designs here. And also I've been doing some like images of antiques and things like that because obviously in this first comic a picture of my is the name of the comic. I think although I'm not sure if it sounds a little bit too like innuendo because it's going to be a picture of my and then like my crossed out because she thinks it looks like a relative of hers but maybe it is maybe isn't. But yeah, I'm just doing some like design work at the moment. I'm really happy with this image. So what I did here is it's like watercolor and then my favorite Polychromos pencils on top but also alcohol markers. So it's a mix of like everything mixed media which is something I enjoy using. I really like the idea of playing with like the character a little bit more this time because I feel like my previous comics my previous comics. I think the design I like the design but I didn't really focus too much on the characters designs. I did like a little bit but I think I need to like just try a little bit more this time so these are the two women from these stories. And I feel like her design changed a lot throughout like the comic a little bit like I try to keep it consistent but maybe she doesn't I don't know. I think it's okay but I think I want to something I want to improve on definitely. So yeah, something really interesting that I was thinking about doing is because this is going to take place in an antique store. The beginning of this new comic is what I was saying so I've been looking at like designing antiques and stuff. And I always like to do like an end paper. So this one was like the house and then I liked having these two portraits. Maybe I have a portrait of the characters, the main characters of these ones as well to like kind of continue on with these designs. One second in Emily is burning. I did these like end pages of this pattern, which I really liked. So I was thinking what I could do is have a pattern or an end paper of antiques or like bits and bobs. So there's this, like there's loads obviously online on Pinterest and stuff with grifting objects and things. But I was thinking maybe I could do something like this where they have like just you know when you have a flat lay of like different items. And I thought this would be really cute for like the beginning page or something even though it doesn't the book isn't really you know focused on antiquing or anything like that. But it's mentioned in the beginning and that's what she does to find this picture. So I thought it could be really nice. I don't know what you guys think. I'm also like working on style. I think what I like to do at the moment is work with, well it's not watercolor, it's gouache, but I'm using it kind of like watercolor because I'm just like watering it down. And then going over the top with pencils and alcohol markers. And just yeah I think this is kind of the vibe that I'm feeling for these ones because in the other comics I obviously just did all alcohol markers with pencils and I feel like it does. I really do like that style like I'm like the way the colors pop but I'm kind of feeling using this style maybe for this one. I don't know I'm kind of you know expanding my style a little bit because these ones are like more pencil like Emily is burning is definitely more I can definitely see more texture like more pencil work. I don't know maybe that's a lie because in wishing on a star there's loads of pencils and stuff. So it's always been I've always worked with media so as long as I keep the style kind of consistent with these ones it could work as like a set of comics that you could get from me. I don't know it's just my idea at the moment and I'm really enjoying it and really enjoying the process and trying to take it slow like I said a little bit slower than I did with these ones. But I don't know I'm working obviously as well so I get a little bit burnt out so I'm trying to take it easy because burnout is real and obviously I have to just if I can feel that like burnout phase coming I have to really take it slow and I don't know if it's the same with you guys. I haven't finished just one but this is kind of like just I did a whole base of watercolours and I was going to draw like a whole town and just do pencils on top. And I kind of like the way it looked it's like really texturised and it's just a rough like a rough example of something that I might look into doing but I'm not sure I'm not sure I do really like the way that the alcohol markers look with the pencil so it's tough to like make a decision. Here's some preliminary work that you probably saw in the last vlog but I'll just show you again this was just like ideation for me I when I first have an idea for a comic. I don't know I just drew this out and I was like oh what if like a girl goes into an antique store and sees a picture of someone who looks like a family member who could look like your mother or her grandmother or something. And what if she like then goes and shows her mum on the phone who maybe lives somewhere else so she couldn't come in contact and it just it's blurry on the phone and then what happens if she leaves the frame and things like that so that's kind of what this progression was. I started out just drawing like different houses on Pinterest. And then I drew like a girl and I was like oh that's kind of nice and yeah and then I drew an antique store because I was always thinking I want to do a story involving antique somehow and I also have a picture of. I think the original idea came from I have a picture of my parents at their wedding and it's a really old frame and it like broke a little bit so I put it back together. And it's just like having that idea because obviously I think even my mother put this frame together or my granny so it's like the idea of somebody doing that and like putting the papers in I don't know spark something in me. But yeah that's kind of where the idea came from and then I wrote out everything roughly like story beats and then I typed it all up on the laptop and like I said if you went here for the last blog or any of my stuff. I write out the pages so I write page one and then I write each panel that's going to show up on the page and then it gives me a clear picture of how roughly like how thick the comic is going to be and how much work I have ahead of myself. And then it also helps me to kind of figure out the layout of the pages when it comes to the thumbnails which are here like I said. So yeah it's coming along. This one is definitely coming along the water park one which I'm so excited about. I do need to work on that a little bit more. I need to come up with kind of how it's going to end and finalise. Sometimes I have the ending really clear in my head of where I want to go and sometimes it just happens so I need to think about it a little bit more. But to be honest I haven't really spent that much time focusing on it so I'll be more focused on this one but I'm going to. I'm going to so we'll have like maybe a collection. I'm thinking about doing a Kickstarter for them this time so yeah that's me. That's basically it and I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. Super casual super just showing the process. Maybe you guys are making your own comics. Also people always say that these kind of help them to make comics. So that's always like a really cool outcome for me doing these videos. So I hope that you like this more relaxed version of these videos and well hope to see you next time. Bye.
