Colours

For this Graphic Novel I'm doing the colour work as well - with the help of freelance assistant Tarsis Cruz.

In The Midst Of Battle

The process for a page, from script to colours:

Step 1, script

1) Guinevere is swinging her sword down at soldiers! She's killing in a berserk battle frenzy!

Guinevere

Diiieeeee!!!!

2) She batters away a sword as a Saxon runs up behind her, unseen, axe raised high to kill her!

Guinevere

For lancelot!

3) A sword, thrown, shunks into the back of the Saxon, wide eyed in his death!

S/FX

Shunk!

Saxon

-gack-

4) Gawain pulls his sword out of the Saxon's back as he speaks to Guinevere.

Guinevere

Thank you, gawain!

Gawain

My lady - my queen -

(Link)

I'm sorry for the things that i said.

5) Guinevere smiles.

Guinevere

Stop being a girl - and fight some saxonswith me.

Step 2, pencils - changes from script: enemy attacks from over the shield wall, and is killed by a spear.

Step 3, mid-inks

Step 4, inks and textures

Step 5, colours and letters
