Something went wrong with the original file of this page which resulted in the first two panels to being of smaller resolution. I had to scale them back up. Thankfully, for the final webtoon version, there will be no difference.
I have also corrected the issue with the total height limit. It should be alright now. Though the first few page...

I didn't keep track of time at all this week. I also found that I didn't read instructions properly and that there is a total height limit for the comic. Which I have already passed several times.
I need to take a moment to think of how to fix this.

I did an even worse job at tracking my work hours this week. It's been kind of a blur. I decided to only upload these two pages since I don't know if I'll manage to finish the third one tonight.
Not much el...

Hello!
I figured I might make Sunday updates a weekly occurrence. I have managed to stay on schedule. All it cost is early-stage repetitive strain injury to my arm. I've been working too much ...

Today's progress. Just like I did with Grisly I immediately try to get ahead of the curve by doing more frames than the minimum requirement. Because I can already tell I will need the saved time later on.
Besides this page, I also immediately made a printable version. It will be in A5 format.
Total time worked so far: 7 h...

For the next 60 days I'll be working on Vigil, my new comic. (I changed the name from Harpy vs demon) The deadline is the 17th of July. I did some calculations while setting up my planning. The comic will be approximately 36 pages long (think of those Sunmakers slides) and I'll have to finish around 20 panels/4 pages per week. This is going to b...

In the original script the Freedom Flyers talk like actual sociopaths. Which at the time was not an issue because Pure Light wasn't a very serious comic. And so the character acting like this situation is a big joke fitted. I wish the story had stayed that way. I'm the on to blame for the change in tone. I didn't pay attention to things like tha...

Greetings from the distant past of March 2022! I burned myself out with Grisly so I broke schedule for a few days and finished a Pure Light page I had lying around half-finished. It's not quite up to the standard I wished for but it passes. It's good enough for what it needs to be. At least it doesn't have 5 billion insects on it...

2022-05-06 11:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday I finished the first issue of Grisly Tales. There is a little bit of post production left in order to prepare the comic for printing but that will probably be no more than a single evening’s hard work.
I don’t feel very much like celebrating. Too many horrible things have happened in too short a time. Between the suicides, wa...

My final page for chapter 3. But not the final page for this remaster!
Next week I wish to show some concept art. The week after that I have new pages!

The following pages were made during spring 2021.
When finished, rus and I would love to print Pure Light! Whether or not we can sell those prints is unsure. But to avoid payment and copyright issues we both agreed it would be best if only rus and myself worked on Pure Light. So, I redid the 4 pages that were not drawn by us.

As you can see, we've left the remaster orbit and shot off into full on remake territory.
Unfortunately, at the time of scheduling this post, this is the last fully finished page of chapter 3. And while other pages are already in some stage of production, be it lines or sketched, I was not able to work on Pure Light at all since the start ...

Boom, baby! Look at that!
Page 14 was always my favorite page from chapter 3. It, therefore, was with some pain in my heart that I went ahead with a full remake. Partly because fixing it would be difficult and partly because I wanted to see the difference between my skills from then and now.
My art has changed but my love...

Who would have thought that such a simple edit would elevate that last shot so much. The magic of strong silhouettes! This really gives me those old Attack on Titan vibes. A little homage to the franchise that inspired certain aspect of Pure Light
Next pages are fully remade! Can't wait to show you guys!

On the whole, this page didn't need much tinkering. The original still holds up relatively well.

Chimero was just a fun character. RIP.
The transition from remaster to remake is a gradual one. if one were to see this comic for the first time, it would almost feel like this was just the art improving. But in this page I went all out on new VFX. I had a lot of fun with it and found a way to make them look not only unique but also complete them relatively fast.
The final shot...

When remastering this page, I wondered if ought to keep that bottom joke. Is it really appropriate or even funny enough to stay there?
But since I didn't think I could replace it with something better, I just fixed the expressions and moved along.

Though perhaps not as flashy with glowy special effects or grand background shots, this page looks so much better now. Fixed expressions across the board, fixed depth, fixed colors. I was really starting to get better at the remastering business.

See, NOW we're getting into the good stuff. This page is where I started redoing the VFX properly and completely redid some panels. I also made it a bit less...overly red. I'm still very satisfied with how this page turned out.

Nodzilla was originally inspired by Dimitri from the Sly Cooper franchise. But I was never fully satisfied with his design. So back when I first decided I was going to do a remaster of PL at the start of 2021, I took a shot at giving him a mild upgrade. Now he has some more of those Snoop Dog vibes. A befitting contrast for the team's genius and...

Those repeat panels definitely look awkward in the original scan. I made some minor improvements here and there to make the characters pop out just a bit more.
