Hello, I hope you don't mind me asking (and I apologise if you have already answered this question and I missed it) what kind of brush do you use for your linework? :)

I switch it up pretty often! Usually some kind of brush from Kyle Webster's watercolor pack tweaked a little to work as a line brush per your tablet's pressure sensitivity. Shiyoon Kim's inkbrush set is also a great one! A lot of animation design projects have assigned brushes, so when I'm done with work I'll usually just keep drawing with whatever brush I was already warmed up with that day too.

Did a new cover since the last one wasn't really conveying what the comic is about xD

HAYDEN’S NOTES is a magic realism mystery with horror elements, set in the fictional country in the first half of the 20th century. The comic’s told in the non-chronological order revolving around Hayden Carter, immortal (by accident) gray mage, pursuer of knowledge and a witty nuisance for everyone around.

Do you have any tips for making gif comic pages? Whenever I make them the file is so huge and different than the other pages...

I was wondering bc I really like the Kochab pages and they maintain their quality!

yeah, it's just hard to make them without a huge file size :') some things I do to lessen it a little:

I make gifs in Photoshop and save them by going to File > Export > Save for web (legacy), lowering the amount of colors as far as possible without losing too much quality, same with dithering, and try to keep the image size under 1000px wide or tall at most, if possible. you can play around with the settings in those panels to see how they affect the file size, and make changes.

keep the animations to about 20-25ish frames. less frames = smaller files I think

after I'm done in PS, use https://compressor.io/ to lower the file size a bit more. I do that for big illustration jpgs, or illustration gifs, as well as comic page gifs ✨

Soo Won - The Depths of the Abyss

I’m trying to achieve a more conceptartish style, trying to simulate the beautiful loading artworks we have in game. The artwork is sponsored by ArenaNet

…but not only that! Since Tumblr rarely gets attention even if it has a lively community, I decided to try doing a little raffle here too! You must be following me and reblog this post to enter. I will draw the lucky ones the first of september, please, have your dms open!

EDIT: By reading the tags I remembered you can have side blogs! Like many are doing, if you’ve got one, let me know your main in the tags!

Free #photoshop brush! Get it here (along with two variants). You know how hard it is to get the Hard Round Brush to feel *just* right in Photoshop? This brush (and its cousins in this mini brush set) should make things snappier, sharper, and easier to control. Get it here, and remember to share the link with your friends. Thanks, and happy weekend! Please reblog if you like brushes and digital art tools.
