Happy #WebcomicDay! To celebrate, We've released a full behind-the-scenes breakdown of visagecomic.com. Check out how @spiremint and @evegwood planned our gorgeous queer romance comic from start to finish! Read the whole breakdown here.

The characters' outfits were originally inspired by medieval beekeepers, who wore robes with a wicker mask to protect themselves. We knew Seneca and Mordecai had to have completely different outfits because of their jobs, but it was also important to build clear silhouettes and shapes to differentiate them without being able to see their faces. All their personality would be shown through their clothes and acting, so their designs had to be perfect. Spire was tweaking them right up until drawing the first pages!

We collaborated on the script, each with a shared document open on our computers and discussing as we typed. We have been writing together for a long time and that means our scripts don't need to be overly detailed; Spire can envision what Eve describes, and Eve trusts Spire to take a description and bring it to life. Each bulletpoint in our script was a separate panel, with just enough necessary information.

We also thumbnailed together, as we are both comic artists and visual thinkers. "Thumbnailing" is the planning stage where you lay out what each page looks like.

Once the scrappy thumbnails were finished, Spire would go back in and refine them himself into clearer thumbnails to reference while he sketched the pages. We didn't stick 100% to the script; if we felt a page needd an extra panel, or a scene needed an extra page, we added it. Sometimes it's hard to judge pacing by script alone.
