Dungeoneer - pre-production
The pre-production for a comic I made in a Unviversity course. It was largely inspired by Tsukushi Akihito's Made in Abyss.
Started out by figuring out the style I wanted to use when making character faces
After that I broke down the anatomy, decided to go for the more human-like versions
Spent some time practicing drawing character faces, had a lot of problems with drawing them in perspective, and I also needed to find a more routine way to make characters to finish the comic on time
Practiced some armor shape-language
First character concept, Goliat
Second character concept, Pavor
Third character concept, Etena
Fourth character concept, Sampato
Main monster (antagonist) concept, with some creature concepts to flesh out the world.
Caverns/ruins practice, figuring out shape language and such
Same goes for the mushroom cave, didn't get to spend as much time on this since i wasn't sure if I had time to include it in the comic
