High hopes


Oh man, have I been busy! I'm finished with school and am
now looking forward to whatever comes next. That, however,
has nothing to do with this. I just wanted to try this style out.


For those of you who don't know, there's a rule of thirds that
comes into designing... pretty much everything. The
red lines help me graph my page so that I can be sure
it follows well while I color.


For shading, it's best to stay away from black. Same
goes for lighting and white. Just use complementary
colors and contrasts for a real popping sensation.
Then set it to multiply because it looks weird.


This is trickier. The same rules I just explained before
are done here but in a smaller, more tedious fashion. You
just have to feel out where which color goes (its best
to look at the light source for what goes where).
Also, cloud. Enjoy.


Then I threw on some home-made lense flare, added
a light gradient over the whole thing and some text
and viola! The whole thing!

Lastly, the comic is kinda on hiatus for a bit while
I look for another tablet. Having graduated from school
I don't have access to the best of tech at the moment.
That may change in 2 weeks, but we'll see!
