Then moving it all over to photoshop for assembly, adding dialog, balloons, and color…
Cool – love to see other people’s processes 🙂
Very interesting to see this Irma..I like how you colored Imy first. Strangely fascinating to see just 1 character colored..
this is really cool to see. thanks for posting it. i’ve always wanted to see the process of it all.
This is so cool! I had no idea that this how you worked through the strip. You have to explain the palette.psd file later on. How do you know which colour splatter is which? You are so talented!
wow this is some awesome technology, what program is it and where can i get it?
Neat! I’m with Mike…It’s interesting to see one character go at a time. It’s beautiful in its way, but I’m a process nerd, so I WOULD like it. I usually go with the shared flats first: BGs, skin tones, if they’re all wearing the same color jeans, etc. so when I color it’s very sterile.
Wow, that first one is like Kat topless.
And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.
I do also WAW to this post :o).. really interesting to see how Imy comes alive :o)
Very nice work, Irma! I’ve always thought you did a Live Trace in Illustrator of a scanned artwork–since your art seems so vector and cel-shaded. I love your colours and style, so keep up the great work.
Very cool! Not that I understand any of it. LOL
Thanks for sharing, I enjoy this stuff.
I second the request to explain the palette.psd stuff more. There’s still a lot I need to learn about photoshop!
Tom – I’d love to see yours one day!
Mike – You know what? I ALWAYS color Imy first if she’s in the strip .I don’t know why, but I like giving her priority 🙂
Kelly & Mirka – Glad you enjoyed!
Erika & Tony – The pallette.psd is nothing special. It’s just a file I made with all my main colors so I always make sure I have the right ones. Then I just use the eyedropper tool to pick them up. Otherwise it doesn’t do anything more than that!
gilly – I use Adobe Illustrator to draw everything, and then Adobe Photoshop to assemble the strip and color it.
Lou – I used to do flats first, then shading later. But one day I decided to do it this way and I preferred it so much more! I don’t know if it takes more time, but I get a real kick out of bringing each character to life separately.
me! – HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Dave – Ha! Nope. All digital. Funny – the lines are actually vector, while the colors are painted in with the photoshop paintbrush 🙂 And thanks!
Monica – Next time you come over I’ll open up the files and show you!
