Margo Creating the Series - Part 4

Pages 1-3

THE SETUP: A giant hole in space is spewing out spores that travel the universe, seeking out planets to open portals for an invading force. The spores land near a hillside monk. Thinking it a sign from the gods, the monk instead finds himself surrounded by Invaders.

Continuing creating a new Margo Intergalactic Trash Collector 8-page story, I move through the coloring.

Continuing with Page 3…

I have created the layer with flat colors. This will become important for making quick selections as I add shadows and light.
Using the flats I can easily select the sky and on another layer begin to add depth.

By using the flats I am able to go into more depth as I add layers to the image.

Because I am working digitally, the final image may look different once I have gone through all 8 pages. I am sure there will be many adjustments along the way. I will be digging into them here in future posts.

In other news…

If you are looking for more art and comic-related stuff, check out my weekly Kickstarter recommendations on FaceBook in the Indie Wire Group. I created this group for creators to post the projects they are trying to fund, and weekly I post current campaigns I am following.
