Thought I'd share a quick work-in-progress screenshot from Volume 5. 

This is sort of an interesting in-between stage.

I start by drawing the panel images in blue pencil.  Then I scan the blues, and lay out the entire page in photoshop before I actually finalize the pencils.  That way, if a big chunk of the drawing winds up being off the page, I don't waste hours detailing it in pencil.  

With the blues layed out, I know exactly where I need to pencil in the details on the drawings.   Then I scan the drawings, line them up on the composition, turn the blue-sketch layer off, and voila! 

Final pencil art for the page.   

This screen shot just looked somewhat neat, with things still being offset, so I thought It'd be fun to share.

Perspectives are so amazeing. for some odd reason it looks like a wire frame for CGI animation. I see Vanth is still around. If I could only get you to be my master.

V5 is gonna be in 3D!

I absolutely love looking at this kind of 'behind-the-scenes' stuff. Thanks for sharing David! Very clever how you 'blue pencil' and then arrange the panels after on Photoshop prior to the final penciling stage. Love it. And who's that I see in the background...? "He-he-he-he-heee! Mutha-fuckers ain't gonna take no shit! No way!! Gonna come get me some tonight I reckon! Ha HA!!!"

Wow, that's a really cool procedure you have going there, Dave! It's awesome to see how organized and careful you are with every ounce of your work. As a side note, nice to see the neons in the BG

Wait a min... is that a fedora in the trash?

They're just using the barrel as a little table- not even the lowest street scum would throw away a fedora, that's just beyond thought. X D

Give me a second, gotta find my 3D glasses.

Holy Moly that looks epic. I can't wait to get my fingers on Volume 5.
