Behind-the-Scenes: Marco's First Pages (Patreon)

I'm so excited to have Marco officially make his debut in the manga. Before the next pages drop, I wanted to share some of the behind the scenes work.

After the script is edited and approved, I go to rough layouts that look like this:

Once I finish the rough layouts, I share them with internally for feedback before I proceed to clean-up, lettering, and render notes. Those "RC" notes are shared with my assistant, Moni, who handles the rendering, backgrounds, and special effects.

It's a lot of work, but at the end of the day, I'm very proud of the results that come from getting to work together with a group of talented people. Feedback from Ella and Lana on story, watching for consistency/continuity is a big deal. Having such a talented assistant like Moni who can bring my vision into full view with her amazing finishing works lets me have more time to move onto the next pages.
