Monster MACS sketchbook

every decent sized project I start gets a sketchbook – it’s largely just a collection of sketches/background images that I keep in a separate clip studio file so all the main comics happen in another one.

From now on $5+ subscribers on the patreon get to see all of this background stuff, there may be spoilers (but I’ll try and keep those away) and there may well be some deadends, cool designs we abandon, pages unusued, what have you. But that’s what’ll happen 🙂

And finally, we meet the gang.

Stay tuned. Live for everyone on Saturdays, and if you’re a subscriber you’ll get to see it early.

We’re opening with a full colour page, but expect the rest to be in b&w with maybe a monotone, we’ll see!

If we can get the patreon up a bit I’d love us to be able to afford a colourist, and once we get to the end it’s possible we’ll look to get it it all in colour.

This page took an age, because I’m trying to find the voice and I’d gotten so used to adapting tweets going to a full script was a bit more of a speed bump. But I hope you like it!

Sketch

This was the prompt sketch for what’s coming. It’s not the final by any means, but it was sort of the starting point. And, for me at least, it’s the anchor point for how the project will be drawn.

More to come…

The Terror

Started pencilling this one, and I kind of liked the texture, and I wanted an old penny dreadful feel to it anyway, and lo, we ended up with a pencilled page…
