- For the beginning of the first upload, I needed to learn how the webtoon layout worked. From this I thought it would be an interesting idea to create a lot of folders with each panel, and then I would copy all the folders onto a longer canvas, so I could make a layout for each page. This style of making comics worked on my other project, and so I thought this would work as well.
- I began with using a stock background I downloaded from the Clip Studio Assets store, alongside the effects coming out of the door. Afterwards, I added a 3D model running out of the classroom, so I could draw the main character over the model.
- For these panels, I downloaded some new 3D models, one model is of a large man and the other is a large hammer. Then I posed them for the bottom panel. Then I fleshed out all the models by drawing over them.
- For colouring the hammer, I decided to use a texture and then overlaid a bright yellow on top of the texture.
- While drawing this character, I was using a lot of references from the original webtoon, to rough sketches that I drew myself. I did this, so I could have a rough idea of how this character would look in my art style at the time.
- Later on, I found a new way that allowed me to create sound effects much easier. I ended up using it on multiple occasions, mostly for onomatopoeia's and making words look bolder and exaggerated when characters are talking.
- For this panel here, I thought it would have been a good idea to make the main character speak, but over time I decided against it and made the main character mostly silent throughout the whole comic.
- This was the original panels for one part of the comic. For the bottom left panel, I wanted the hand to be outside the panel's boarder. When it came to drawing the pose, I had a rough time executing what I originally had in mind. So I had to change it.
- This is what I ended up with.
- Eventually, I added all the screen tones and highlights for all these panels. When it came to adding these panels to the large canvas, I wanted to make the viewer follow each panel as they scrolled down. So I made a new folder for effects and drew some fire coming out from one panel, and then the fire effect would trickle down to the last panel for this canvas.
