Sithrah 5 - Sketches pages 4-24 (Patreon)

This week has been really fun. I've been working like crazy on Sithrah 5 as you can see from the sketches above. In the evenings I have been thumbnailing and then sketching out the thumbnails during the working hours. It's amazing how fast this is starting to come together. 

One thing I'm doing differently this time is the 3D model use. I won't be drawing over the models for this book because it's just too complicated and it would take me FOREVER! So instead, once I find the right angle of the model I just drop in a screen capture of it into the panel to serve as the sketch and then when I color the pages I will do all the work at that time. 

I hope you like the Sand Rig model so far. It's really fun to fly around it and find cool locations to use. Oscar really did an amazing job modeling it so I want to make sure to show it off as much as I can. In fact, the first 50(ish) pages of this book was expanded a bunch because of how amazing this model turned out. I'm really glad I expanded the story too because it has made it that much better. :)

I'll be uploading all the pages I sketch next Friday as well so make sure to check back then too.

Cognitive Drawing Kickstarter Update:

The Cognitive Drawing campaign has been going pretty good. But you might have guessed that I stopped working on the Cog Draw book as soon as I launched the campaign. I decided that I needed to make sure it was going to fund before putting any more time into it. I already put loads of time into developing it and drawing a bunch of pages for it but at this point I really need to focus on what I know is for sure... Sithrah. Webtoons is even potentially interested in another story idea of mine after I finish Sithrah so it really lit a fire under my buns to try and finish Sithrah this year. :)

Cognitive Drawing is still potentially happening but it all depends on the Kickstarter if it funds or not.  If it funds then I will definitely need to shift some of my time to working on it again. If not then it will be taking a back burner again until I finish Sithrah and I'll look at it again at that time. 

The biggest challenge always seems to be time and money. Everything takes time to make or finish or dream up, even if you have the money it still takes time to do something right. I'm trying to give birth here. I need the full nine months. haha!

Anyway, thanks so much for all your continued support! I can't wait to show you where this next Sithrah book is going. It's also exciting to start seeing that light at the end of the tunnel for the story. :)

See you next Friday for more sketches!
