The Cull - Chapter 2 - Page 31
Singring on Jan. 24, 2016
Thanks for your patience! I had a pretty busy
week so didn't get around to finishing this up as quickly as I'd hoped
to. I'm figuring out strategies to cut down on the time needed for
colouration, so hopefully the next update will be on time.
This is the first page I inked with the computer, using the inking tool
in Gimp. Originally, I didn't think I'd feel comfortable inking on a
tablet, but this came our pretty well and has certain advantages (e.g.
making corrections, consistent tone) so I will stick with it for now.
The colours on this page were a real challenge, not only because I'm new
to using them, but especially because this happens to be a page with
rather unusual and stark lighting conditions. Low sun, orange dusk. The
lighting was a real challenge and I hope the colours give the right kind
of atmosphere.
Story-wise, there may be a breakthrough between Adam and Emalaith…she
seems to be questioning her role in Olias' plan, whereas Adam seems less
concerned. The more we learn about each of their pasts, the clearer
things will become.

Whether it's B&W or color, you work beautifully in both! For me personally, color is easier than B&W. Maybe it's just the way my eyes work, but B&W tends to mush together while colors separate the images.

I'm no artist, or art expert... to e the colors, the tones and contrast seem right... can't wait for their meeting with Saph...

It really does look fantastic. As does Emalaith!! I really looking forward to her 'reunion' with Saphyr!!

The colors look fantastic! How does working in color compare to black and white? Doing my current comic in color takes a bit longer than working in B&W, but it's much easier to get the kind of mood that I see in my mind.
