IM4 - How's it coming along?

[Jason Truong]

Hey Adi,

Just wondering how things are going with issue 4? Have you settled in at your new place in Leeds?

[JABSEN]

Your Stewie avatar disturbs me.And yeah Adi how are things?

[Adi Granov]

Things are good. It took me only a couple of days to settle in. Althought it took me a good week to establish a normal sleeping schedule. I kept falling asleep around 10pm every night which is ridiculously too early for me.

Issue 4 is moving along nicely. I am working on a particularly nice page right now. Nice from the art standpoint, but what it depicts isn't all too nice.

Switched up my technique a bit to get some better color results. Kinda felt like I hit a wall with what I was doing so I contemplated this new approach while I was penciling and did one page with it already, working on the second, and it's looking great without breaking away from my style at all. Most people probably won't even notice, but I am much happier with it.

BTW, I haven't been posting much because I've been really busy trying to make up the travelling time.

when is it going to be released?

[Adi Granov]

Whenever marvel currently has it scheduled. I don't remember what the date is.

Whats the tone for issue 4? Is this continuing a faster pace from 3 or is it slow like issue one?

[Jason Truong]

Your Stewie avatar disturbs me.

Only if I found one of him during one of his famous "sexy parties," then I'll change it. Haven't really been searching for it though. I'm pretty satisfied with this one...

Anyway you can post a panel or something to show us the difference? I'm a little curious to see it.

...or the entire issue?...

[John Drake]

Adi are you gonna do any new tutorials? Your old one was really helpful. Though I could never completely pull it off.

Well, overall I think it has as much action as issue 3 except split into separate action sequences. But it's also more complex, more story development. It's a crucial issue in Tony Stark's evolution.

Well, I've been sneaky and my avatar is actually from one of the pages done in the "new" coloring approach. But to be honest, it's really no different, just less of one stage and more of the other. It will just let the art breathe more and be less stiff.

I have a whole new site nearing completion (although it's been that way a couple of months now, I need to actually pay someone to do it :( ) but I don't know what the point of a new tutorial would be as there isn't too much new that I could add to it. Other than using a better piece of artwork to replace that old one.

Sneaky, sneaky. Yea, I don't really see a difference, but if it's one less step for you, and you like how it turns out, then I'm cool with it.

As for the tutorial... maybe change the artwork to an Iron Man cover, or something...

[John Drake]

Yup, Iron Man would be cool. Or maybe some new little tricks? ;)

I tried doing the tutorial with your drawing, but when I did the first multiply layer with 50% opacity, the drawing had all these white vertical lines all over it. Dunno why. And then it came out shinier than I thought it would. Probably did something wrong :confused:
