Today I've finished the second milestone of the Chapter 4 final artwork production. It was a huge milestone with nearly 70 hours of work that went into it. I anticipated that because I've got some pretty big and detailed backgrounds in this one. That's fine, I'm only 4 days behind schedule which will most likely be compensated by the next three milestones which are all interiour scenes and threfore will be much more easy to illustrate.
I'm totally in adventurer mode now. There has been one specific panel in this milestone that perfectly illustrates my feelings:

| Jonas having fun exploring the ruined city of Ankal Aasha |
I simply love the setting Jonas explores in this chapter and in my mind I'm right behind him climbing the overgrown ruins of Ankal Aasha. I can literally feel the humidity in the air and the bright sun shining on my face (it's raining since weeks here in Germany by the way...) And just to share my joy with you I'm going to be extra generous with preview images today. Enjoy!

| deeper into the jungle |
 |
| what will our heroes find in the jungle city? |
 |
| Excerpts from some larger panels |
In milestone 3 I will now enter the realm of Janaka Jiiva inside the ruins which I can't wait to explore. And slowly we're coming closer to the release of the chapter which is still scheduled for the end of August. So, you just have to wait a little bit longer until you can follow Jonas on his adventure!
Can't wait - looking great!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to view and buy your comic through the Android App, but I'm having problems with it. I't doesn't look as it's supposed to.
I've just purchased my ASUS Infinity tab running Android 4.0 with a ressolution of 1920 × 1200. Is this my problem?
The Android version should run without problems on an Android 4.0 device. I'd like to suggest that you send me an email to mail@wormworldsaga.com with a brief description of your problem (screenshots if avaialable) and I'll forward it to the developers.
DeleteDaniel,
ReplyDeleteExcellent work as usual. It's clear your work is meant for the web and mobile platforms. And of course we've heard your intention for print. However, just wondering if your work process allows for repurposing to further mediums? In theory, if you've kept your layers intact, WW could be made into a "motion comic" (known in past years as limited animation)via Afterfx and Photoshop. I ask this question because I went to a test screening of an animated film just last night. This film was 3d big budget and financed by a major company. I literally fell asleep during the screening because the story wasn't very good. Which would seem impossible as the popcorn and soda were free for my son and I:-) It looked great though!
My point being, WW is captivating. Consider it.
Einfach genial, go on voyager!

ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to read the the new chapter! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really impressive your art project; great work, big success ...maybe in few years someone will ask you the license to produce the movie! ;)
I copied your idea. I'm going to use it in my film but I won't credit you because the way you presented the idea was dull and unappealing. Jonas is an underdeveloped, horrible character. The concept is laughable and utterly unoriginal.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if it sounds like I'm being harsh, but the publishers will be much worse.
By the way, thanks for the idea.
Cheers,
Dietrich Goff
