For the record, Hildy was NOT trying to cop a feel. She does not swing that way. So…what can I say about this one? It’s another good example of the various techniques I use in making the comic. Obviously the backgrounds are reused from previous comics. The last two panels are the same drawing of Hildy, with a new face drawn (by hand) for the second one. The first two panels (except for backgrounds) are fresh drawings. I know they look like they could have been recycled, but they’re not. But they were both drawn using the same printed out template of Sara that I use as a sort of model sheet. I’ve thought about doing what some cartoonist do, and entirely use sprites and stuff (like the Flash characters that Kris Straub uses to wonderful comedic effect in Starslip Crisis) but I still like drawing by hand and I don’t think sprites would completely meet my needs. I prefer a more eclectic method. A mixture of fresh hand drawings, recycled drawings & backgrounds, hand drawn & computer drawn backgrounds, and a little 3D modeling for good measure. Some day I might even experiment with photo backgrounds. I don’t know if I’ll ever use 3D modeled chracters in Grimstone, but I would like to do a comic completely created using Maya. That would be cool. 3D backgrounds and characters. Could use the same models for animated versions too. Definately something I’ll do someday, just probably with one of my superhero comic ideas.
