Rant #013 Saturday, January 17, 2004

Page 56 is done; and work is finally started on the new 2214 poster, which should be completed by 2214's first anniversary.

It was interesting trying to draw the characters in a more realistic fashion; so far I've completed Saja for the poster and have yet to create the finished versions of Virulyde, Malachi, and Ravenna. Whether or not I'll put more characters in the poster really depends on my rate of progress.

Drawing Saja (I actually used references for anatomy, proportions, clothing folds, etc) took around... 8 hours, including sketching, researching, and two stages of detailed line work. CG-ing took another 10 hours, and I learned quite a few things about digital painting as I went.

That's all for now.
