I give my apologies for how “grainy” this one looks, it’s just one.
Often when I post-process my scans, I have a lot of debris to clean up out of my scanner. This comes with the territory of pencil work - I’m putting colour pencil drawings face down on the scanner glass, so bits of loose colour and dust and junk get in there, and then show up in later images. It takes quite a bit of work to fix the image and brush out those specks - as well as fixing any other glaring issues. I tend to save a lot as I go, so I don’t lose progress.
Unfortunately, for about 3 weeks around the time I made this comic, I’d screwed up the settings in my image processing program, rather than saving at highest quality, I was saving images at lowest quality, and I didn’t notice. The program doesn’t show the crunched image inside it, it just saves it, and windows thumbnails are small… so I just didn’t see that it looked funky until weeks later when I came to upload it to my website. I could fix it by re-scanning the original and doing all the work again, but that’d take forever (and I’d have to find the original drawing in my archive.) - so we’re stuck with this. It’s just one of these story comics though, I’d fixed it by the next one.
Sorry again. I’m an idiot.
I see you subscribe to the concept of ‘Archives are not meant to be delved into’
I don’t know if this would work, but have you tried laminating your stuff before scanning? Or would it work if you placed your paper between laminating sheets?
That might be a little extreme. I do have some fixative spray that prevents anything dislodging from art, but… it’s like £15 a can and a can doesn’t cover that much (so it’d be like £1 per A4 sheet) - I use that for commission pieces, because it keeps them from fading or smudging.
This is one of the most adorable DnD comics I have ever seen I love it.
There’s a monster at the end of this book.
You would think a half-orc would ‘get it’ more readily… Apparently not.
Maybe she grew up in an abbey or something else like that and never encountered it.
Razira just like… doesn’t really think about people in terms of labels or identity - she’s very straightforward. Either someone is doing something bad and needs beating up, or someone is a friend and needs protecting or helping. While she would be aware that “goblins tend to get beaten up by adventurers” the moment Konsi becomes a friend, Razira would just completely forget that, because why would you beat up Konsi? Konsi is a friend.
