It's actually happening! I couldn't hold myself any longer I guess :P

#Antumbra chapter 1 officially in the making! This is much clearer #sketch of the first page. It starts by going back a few centuries from the manga time, back in 1997.

I'm all too hyped to keep it going! Fingers crossed now that the story will start you'll get hooked :D

As it worked out quite well with the previous chapter, this initial post will work as a thread for all progress on #Antumbra Chapter 01: Mystery package.

For anyone who's new here and wants to know what's been done so far you download the previous chapter here: https://ntoyohito.itch.io/antumbra-chapter-00

(For people who've already read it, I've corrected some typos, increase the quality as much as possible and made all pages of the same size for better reading pleasure)

Introductory chapter to a dark biopunk, dystopic story of the shadow crated by light

#Antumbra Chapter 01: Mystery package page 01 getting ready. Blue penciled the panels, and inked the rest of the page, due to depictions happening in the past time of 1997...

Will be read right to left, the traditional manga way.

#Antumbra chapter01 page 1 inking done! It still took more time that I thought, especially the top right panel, what with the creases and all...
Next step is to clean it up digitally and add screentones for extra effects and realism! I hope it'll work out good :) Stay tuned!!

#Antumbra Chapter 01 update:
First page is finished! Very pleased with the final result, which is, I _hope_ respectful to the manga-style and manga way...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Before beginning Rid's story, some flashback to the forgotten 1997 is required... Back to when an ambitious biological experiment took place that is pivotal to what will happen...

#Antumbra Chapter 1 page 2 in the making! Paneling done. Next step inking!
Top right panel was a nightmare due to the miscroscope guy's positioning... So much erasing... I hop that this guy's head movement towards the scientist behind him and then back to the microscope is natural and not "weird" or sudden.

#Antumbra chapter 01 page 2 finished!
Some changes compared to the initial draft, especially concerning the microscope researcher. The good-looking handsome model type didn't suit well, so I thought to go with a scruffy aesthetics...

The experiment continues with 1 more page and the past sequence is complete!

#Antumbra chapter 1 pages 1&2 update:

To unwind a bit from what's happening right now I went and did some minor editing on the first two pages. The major one was the text on page two, so that there is more empty space in the bubbles, and also mirrored some images so that one can easily understand that the page is read right to left (despite not being used to manga-style orientation).

#Antumbra chapter 01 page 3 now ongoing!!

Blue pencil pre-inking sketch. I will do small homage to the 90s era on 2nd panel, hehe. Couldn't resist it! 4 more panels left :)

Before continuing with #Antumbra page 3 I first had to make a big change in the last two panels of page 2 and use just one. Here's the new version.

@ntoyohito the urge to redo old pages is definitely a strong one but i always have to stop myself >/<

@Mechode
No chance in hell I'll redo everything so far... If anything it'll be a history if my progress :P

This specific panel allows the next page actually making sense xD Otherwise the movement of the scientist will be completely different to what I want

@ntoyohito yeah haha, in those fringe cases you gotta change it, i recently had to do something similar.
