Reassessment of execution style

As advised, I reassessed the style I was executing the comic in, and have arrived with some changes. What follows is the new style I am redoing the comic in.

Cao Brother's Pvt. Ltd.

The complete Script

Cao Brothers Pvt. Ltd

So

There has been some time been given to me. I have 31st December to finish the project. What I have to do is to finish "Cao Brothers Pvt. Ltd" , script, storyboarding and the panels. And put that up.
 I have also decided to outsource the technicals, to polish it. Because I have been told that it doesn't matter what medium the comic comes in. The medium basically doesn't really matter. What matters is the comic. And that was where I had gone off track a bit. Hence this dear diary type project update.
 I have also got to redo the illustrations that i have, because details are being lost in the current coloring style. I think a revaluation of that has to be done. I already have thoughts as to what i can do. I don't think it requires complete style change, but changes have to be made.
 Also the "dynamism" of the panel changes are not going down too well with people over 25, apparently, so that has to be "tweaked".
 So, this is whats brewing in my mind right now. More details as it happens.

Its Here

The site has now been born. No more test stuff. Whatever happens on it now happens on real time. Its a baby, its been born, and its not perfect, nothing created by humans ever is. But the possibilities are endless and perfection is always waving from around the corner. so without further ado, here it is;

All right. A test site is up with the comic. A little slow to load, but perfection takes time. so, until then, knock yourself out here:

Type Options for Links/Buttons


Web Page Renderings/ work in progress

What the pages are lookin like right now.



Cant decide which one to go for right now. These are the landing pages. I might also change the type later. But I have been stuck with sitting with this type for 3 days so i have decided to tackle that later. Next the Contents page: First is as you first see it, and then, what happens on mouse rollover/ hover. Again, you will see a number of fonts, still choosing. Opinion is welcome.



WebSite Plans

This is the wire framing- computer generated ones- of what I planned for my web site. This is a most finalish one. I did a lot of trial and error designs on paper, which I will scan and put up the moment I get hold of a scanner here in college once the college opens its doors again and lets us Dip students use the facilities again.
So until then, here is the final wire framing.

Finalization of Characters: Madam Du Pompadour/2


Computer Renders. And....DONE. These are the final Characters, as per the ready script.

Finalization of Characters: Madam Du Pompadour/1

Pencils. Didnt do a lot of actions because she hasnt entered the story yet. But she will. Also to  my great shame, it seems like I have forgotten how to draw women. THE HORROR!

Finalization of Characters: Che Guevara/2

Computer renders.



Finalization of Characters: Che Guevara/1

Pencils. This has turned out to be my Waterloo. Considering, as I said before, how easy it was to caricature Castro, doing Che has nearly killed me. So even I dont particularly like the results, so I'm not expecting glowing reviews. But as long as he's recognizable, right? Lot of people can't do a lot of things. I can't spell airplane without spell check and apparently draw Che. :|

This is the initial failed attempt at studying the profile. Was failing even then.




The action figures are so little in number because I dont have him doing so much in the script yet. Will draw more once I move ahead with more pages of the script, and anyway, knowing the story he isn't going to be doing calisthenics. He is Che, but he is a pretty old and well taken care of Che.

Finalization of Characters: Adan Garcia/2

These are the computer renders.



Finalization of Character: Adan Garcia/1

Just the pencils. Will upload the computer renders later in the day. My excuse for not doing it now is a rather old and used one ( in school at least), but true all the same: I am not feeling particularly too great. So kindly excuse the delay.
