First of all, hello new patrons! Good to have you, thanks for your support!
This image... man. LOOOONG story short, this image nearly broke my computer. Specifically, I was using a .pat file in the last panel of some clouds that made Photoshop run at a fraction of its usual speed, and I actually lost two days of work trying to fix the problem. When I realized it was just the pattern I had used, I lost my mind! I had, in trying to fix it, reset my Photoshop settings and I only then realized how many tweaks I had made over the years. So now when I work I occasionally run into a problem doing my usual techniques and I have to go back in and give Photoshop specific instructions for EVERYTHING. It's been frustrating. So I think I could have done more to this page, but I want to be done with it and move on after all it's put me through, haha. So this might be a little bare in the process pics because I stopped screen grabbing after I got frustrated.
Behind The Scenes
The thumbnail! Pretty sloppy, as usual.
Pencil sketches! Used a photo reference for the jumping scene.
Line art...
Added gutters and dialogue.
Silhouettes! Moved some stuff around, added some effects.
Flat colors, though some of the bkg has gradation. After this I added the pattern to the bottom panel and all hell broke loose, so this is unfortunately where the behind the scenes stuff ends, haha.
At least if this weird problem ever happens again (SURELY it is a bug on Photoshop's part... I have used that pattern many times before, including in the top right panel) I will know how to fix it.
