Smolder Scrolls 2! Cover & process
🕑 Added 2020-07-02 23:17:49 +0000 UTCOkay okay okay-
For this round of Smolder Scrolls, I wanted the cover to be more intimate and related to the content. So please enjoy my good good sketch garbage whilst I vaguely intended to come up with ideas:
to be fair, the first page has some goofy nonsense-
I considered for a brief moment including an apple/apple tree motif in the 2d embellishments, but ultimately decided it wasn't relevant. Keeping the two characters close, but holding hands and/or doing a version of "The Kiss" wasn't quite right. I pose at the end, very similar to the ones at the end of the story worked best?
THE PENCILS! Couldn't find the font that I referenced for the first cover? AH WELL, I think this font worked just as well. When I was pencilling, I thought about ending the gold-ish frame (on the right) at a higher point, later decided it looks better to continue down and off the page.
Had to make some changes on the inks, mostly a little cleaning, making sure Ullrath was making eye contact with Autumn. Makes more sense than them staring at her mouth haha! Wanted to make sure Ullrath's hair looked good and sleek!
and so-
My partner suggested changing the solid back of Smolder Scrolls to color, to make it less heavy in the composition, a good choice in my opinion! Kept the colors on the background from the more muted colors (in the last scene) and kept the colors on Autumn and Ullrath more vibrant (from the smoochin' scenes!). Tried to adjust the colors of their clothes for it. I'm pretty proud of how it came out. :3
Hope y'all enjoy it! :D

I don't know the legalities of adapting someone else's work, but I mean, I'm all for making comics even if just for fun!

Speaking in David Attenborough's voice ` and here we see and peer inside the mind of the artist creativity clutter confusions and calamity all night beautiful dance pages of their mind call mandating into the final images as the artist blooms the idea into its final form` Hehe you make me want to forfill my old dreams of making a comic adaptation of one of my fave book series chanur
