Tonight I began drawing my entry for the Tokyopop Manga Contest. The deadline is September 1st so I have vowed to do at least one page per night. This would allow me to finish all 15 pages by the 20th leaving me a little more than a week to scan, add text, add screentone, and submit. Hopefully moving and other things won’t interfere.
Below is the lower 2/3 of the first page which I drew and inked tonight.
Woah. Looks badass. What's your comic about?
I decided to do a short Miracle Explosion comic for the contest. It takes place one year after MX#06.
what media do you use for this? It looks like ink on paper, but I see a texture fill that looks digital.
It's ink and marker on bristol scanned.
I'm then adding the text and screentone digitally in Photoshop (thus the fill you mentioned).
A year after MX#06? I thought you killed off Hugo?
The first few pages is a dream sequence reliving the moments when he died. He is still dead in this story.
