Re: Do you maintain a schedule for creation of your comic? Do you use a buffer?
@ArtCrumbs I prioritise speed and the pages turn out a little on the rough side! If I did clean, inked pages I'd hit the 8hr mark per page too, no doubt. I can definitely see how much the time you invest into Godsbane pays off, your inks are so nice and character designs are so detailed!
Re: Do you maintain a schedule for creation of your comic? Do you use a buffer?
@ArtCrumbs I don't ink the pages, they end up as greyscale toned pencils. Pencilling or cleaning/toning a page usually takes 1-2 hours if I am not being distracted by social media lol.
Re: Do you maintain a schedule for creation of your comic? Do you use a buffer?
I work on a schedule of pencilling 5 pages a week, then cleaning/toning/finishing those pages the following week. I work one page a day so this gives me some days off or room to catch up if needed. I end up with 5 finished pages in a 2-week period but only post 4, so I build a buffer slowly.
At my comic’s peak the buffer was 12 pages, I kinda loved and hated it lol. I liked seeing the number up and knowing I could take a break if I wanted to, but I also hate sitting on finished work! I want feedback right away! I know some folk who have 100 page buffers and I could never do that lol. I am aiming to get a similar size buffer when I end the hiatus tho.
I think mostly, I like a routine work schedule, and I deliberately set it so I would have room for other art projects. Or so I’d have time to relax my hand and avoid re-triggering an RSI from last year.
