Halcyon Girl 2

The saga continues and fists take flight!

Production note: this page is the first stab at a standardized format (and a slightly different method of putting a page together).

Usually, I put Bomango comics together entirely in Photoshop, and--with the exception of a number of 3-6 panel comics that use a preset template--the size of each comic varies. This is great for messing around and not being restricted by size constraints, but it also means a rather chaotic variation in production time.

This time around, I've decided to change things up and try going back to penciled layouts on a comic page. I still get much cleaner lines by inking digitally, but the layout process is faster, my sense of the page is clearer, and I have a lot more flexibility in being able to spin and angle the paper beneath my pencil rather than sketch from a fixed position. (Which makes a bigger difference than I thought)

Plus, it's my hope that this speeds up the entire process and allows me to update in smaller chunks at a more consistent rate. This page isn't terribly complex, but it's a promising start

Anyway, moving on! More soon!

Enjoy!
