Twitch, Twitch - Conclusion
kentuckyfriedpopcorn on Oct. 15, 2012
Finally updated! Here it is, the all-color conclusion of the “Twitch, Twitch” storyline. Sorry it took so freaking long, but my real job has kept me extraordinarily busy for the past month. Also, I went nuts and decided to do another full-color strip with painted backgrounds.
For the technically curious, all the coloring in this strip was done on my iPad in Sketchbook Pro. The panels were first traditionally pencil-sketched and inked, then scanned into PNG files and colored on the iPad. Makes for a very relaxing, “lying on the couch” coloring experience, without the worry of spilling paint everywhere.
I wasn't happy with the smooth digital background gradients last time, so here I painted all the sky gradients in with fan brushes so they'd look a bit more natural. Also, designing evil, alternate-universe versions of your strip characters is a lot of fun.

awesome! The colors look excellent here - and the pencil and ink on paper approach surely gives it that liveliness that your pages have. thanks for sharing the technical info, too...I for one would've been curious about that.
