ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[xelfereht]

You got some very good ones in spite of the time constraint and your mental state. And the three second ones, man you go way beyond scribbles for that time frame.

May we know more about your graphic novel?

sorry the 2's and 3's mentioned , I meant 2 and 3 minutes.

Yeah, so I've been writing this story for several years and have tried to make progress on it when client work gets slow. I'm coming into another slow period so trying to make use of the time and continue working on the comic.
I've got the broad story planned out for 3 books that I'm planning to span 12 issues per book of 32 pages per issue so around 400 pages per book.

I'm aware its kinda ridiculous and I'm just banking on my skills improving to the point I can somehow fulfill the task in a reasonable time frame.
but its a personal project and I want to enjoy it and somewhat take my time with it.
It's a big ol mesh of heaps of the stuff that interests me and I've let the story largely write itself just from the tangents that my brain flows down.
It's been really enjoyable at times and frustrating in parts but working out the plot holes is part of the fun.
Here's one of the main characters who I just had an illustration of around 8 years ago
the story fist came from just imagining what her backstory was and escalated quickly from there.



this is the most complete version I've put together just trying to gauge how difficult getting through an issue would be. The quality wavers in parts but it was a good exercise and now I've drafted the majority of book one and am working on re-drawing issue one with a different work flow that will hopefully turn out good. will have to see still..
I'm still working out the look but I'll post some when I'm thinking its near what I want.
Having encouraging results recently..



also here's some DND character stuff I made for a friend recently.
He changed his characters load out so he needed a 2nd version
