Jesse's Trail Trouble (commission) Page 3/4
[ (06/20/2025) Number 92 in the 'over 2000 views club']
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
Jesse has a good idea of where he needs to go, but the going is getting a bit...sticky? As he trudges along, the mud seems to be getting deeper, as more and more of his moccasins get sink below the surface. I don't think those shoes are going to hold on for much longer.
Technical:
Some of you might have noticed that this comic is rather...dark. Despite it being a night scene, I mean. If you're viewing this with an IPS monitor, it'll probably look that way. When I started this project, the flats were being done on my stay-at-home laptop, a Toshiba S70 with a bright TN LCD. It's...really bright. It really distorted my perception of lightness/darkness in the colors I was using. Right around the midpoint of the work, I replaced my old "road warrior" laptop, a Toshiba P850 (also with a bright TN screen) with a failing hinge, with a Lenovo ThinkPad w541 workstation-class laptop. ThinkPads are famously upgradeable, and one of the first upgrades I did was to replace it's TN LCD with an IPS one. About $70 on Ebay and a five minute swap job (I had never done this before, just watched some YouTube videos) and I had a better more color-accurate screen on my away-from-home art machine. But that swap exposed the darkness inherent in pics colored on the Toshiba machines. Going forward, I will still be doing a lot of work on the at-home machine, but I'll have the ThinkPad's IPS panel to check the contrast as I advance through the early stages of color pics now.
Digital drawing performed with Krita 4.2.9. 246.3MB in-app, 19MB on-disk. Five hours 42 minutes total editing time as per Krita's internal project timer.
