Comes down to the sophistication of the avionics. I can say with experience that the bigger the tub the blinder you are without help. Thats why thereally big vessels require tenders and pilot vessels to help guide the big bastard into port. I'm talking modern day blue water ships, but i can imagine the largest Star Traders vessels of days of yore requiring tending and electronic help.
Have three new pages i'm about ready to scan and 'shop. Would be further along but bars have a lot of stuff in them, especially flying around during an old fashioned slobberknocker.

Yeah, Adora doesn't know how to play nice. Shes pretty cold-get in the way and threaten her with a piece and you stop- permanently. As you can see, Captain Thales is kind of an asshole. He enjoys causing mischief, but you will see there is a method to his madness.

Read the whole comic, love it. I've never played StarTraders before so I'm not quite get used to space/military terms. But it's fun to read anyway. I salute you that you have done the whole comic in color. It's something I couldn't do because it's gonna take too much time and my coloring skill is poor. I'm gonna try the game so I can be more understanding about the story. Looking forward to see where it goes. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Kris. Actually, you're almost there. how i color is pretty easy, using photoshop i apply the flat colors by selecting parts of the line art withthe magic wand tool. Then i go back with a brush with maybe 10-30% opacity and apply the shadows and lighting effects with black and white.
Something to practice, but the harsh lined shadows and black and white is about perfect for a cyberpunk or noir type story. Ive seen small details colored over. Mainly black and white image before, like eyes, blood, etcetera. All it takes is some experimentation and practice.

Please don't tell me you ate this fish on the plane! Should have gone for the lasagna. Is that an Airplane! reference? A byproduct of this food poisoning is i cant bear the sight or smell of food. Cant even play fruit ninja.weird. |

All that behind me, literally, I'm working on the last three pages wrapping up the chapter. Does anyone have any feedback? Maybe where they think this is going or would like to see more of?

Its not shaded or any text or effects added yet but one of the last panels to the second chapter is looking pretty good if I do say so myself. I did cheat a bit and used some existing avionic displays, but the HUD and stores diagram is AALLLL me.   Anyone that remembers a spiel I made to kris on the way I color in the MESS discussion, This is all flat colors. I select the individual areas between the lineart, expand the selection by 2 pixels, then paste the color. Later on I go back and add shading. |
