[Incognitymous] Power Pack - Chain Reaction

[NastyUncleTom]

Chain Reaction 153​

Here are the colors for page 153 of Chain Reaction. Julie returns to the girls' room with Katie, but encounters an unexpected guest sneaking in.

With this the latest scene is finally complete. Up next will be the resumption of Sultry Summer, however, like mentioned in the lines for this page, there is a consideration to take a week off from doing comics entirely to do some random Ben 10 illustrations. This is helpful in that it gives me a week off from the usual comic grind, but also enables me to warm up on the characters a bit before I start on a comic. We'll see how I feel when the time comes, but odds are that's the plan, and then the following week I resume Sultry Summer.

Chain Reaction 154 Sketch​

Here is the sketch for page 154 of Chain Reaction. With Katie asleep Jack has nobody to rely on but Julie, so he tries to offer an incentive he hopes she can't refuse.

With this Chain Reaction is back up. Obviously I decided to go straight into starting the comic back up rather than taking a week for illustrations. The page took awhile to do because had to get used to the characters again, and there's a lot to it, but I got it figured out. Now I line this then start sketching the next page.

Also, I considered adjusting the lines to be dotted to indicate they're talking quietly, but I'm unsure I'd want to do that for the vast majority of the scene. We'll see how I feel about that once the page is colored.

Chain Reaction 154 Lines​

Here are the lines for page 154 of Chain Reaction. This one took an eternity to do and burnt me out hard so I'm glad I finally got it done. I'll be starting on the sketch of the next page, but I'll also need to color this, which I'm sure will also take forever, so I can't say for sure when I'll have that done.

Chain Reaction 154​

Here are the colors for page 154 of Chain Reaction. Jack has nobody to rely on but Julie now that Katie is asleep, so he tries to offer an incentive he hopes she can't refuse.

I actually have practically zero progress on another page. This page took me an absolute eternity to do in all stages. I had to get used to the characters and environment again, there were a lot of details to sketch and line, and then I did a lot of experimenting in how I wanted to do the coloring and lighting before settling on this simpler approach with the annoying to color lantern without knowing ahead of time how I needed to layer it, and don't get me started on how annoying Jack's pajama pattern is.

However, I will still be trying to get the next page finished throughout the weekend, and having decided for sure how I will be coloring future pages, that part should at least be substantially faster.

I'll be working for the rest of the night on lining and coloring this.

Finally done with this. I'm going to be a bit late now in starting the next page, but oh well. I also got further delayed by having to deal with some hosting issues. Many of you may be aware by now that my website is down, and I'm in the process of dealing with that, but now it's related to things largely outside of my control so I can only do what is possible from my end as things progress.

For now I'll finally be sketching page 156.

Late start to the week, but here's one new page sketched. I'll be lining this after I get some sleep then starting on the next page.

Chain Reaction 156​

Here are the colors for page 156 of Chain Reaction. Julie clarifies that Jack has permission to go all the way, and he wastes no time getting them both ready.

Before anyone asks here, I am away my website is down and am currently in the process of trying to get something up. I cannot disclose further details at this time.

I'm still working on page 157 to have done as soon as possible.

Also, I decided I wanted to brighten up the colors slightly. I have retroactively done so for previous pages and reuploaded them, and will continue to do so for future pages.

Chain Reaction 157 Sketch​

Here is the sketch for page 157 of Chain Reaction. Jack continues to admire Julie with a more hands-on approach.

I just recently woke up, so my schedule is very late again. I'll still be up for a while lining and then coloring this.

Chain Reaction 158 Sketch​

Here is the sketch for page 158 of Chain Reaction. Jack finishes warming up with what Julie taught him and is moving in for the main event.

Finally got this sketched after the late start to the week again. Hopefully this page is rather easy to line and color compared to previous ones.

Chain Reaction 158 Lines​

Here are the lines for page 158 of Chain Reaction. Now I do a mix of coloring this and starting the next page.

Chain Reaction 158​

Here are the colors for page 158 of Chain Reaction. Jack finishes warming Julie up with what she taught him and is moving in for the main event.

Took an extra minute to upload because I decided once I had this resized in the browser window that I wanted to change the effect text color, and due to how the font is done I had to do each character separately.

I am still working on page 159 and do have some progress in sketching it from before I stopped to start coloring this, so I will be getting straight back to it. I also have some other distractions this weekend, including some things I must do regarding my website still being down, but again I'll try to have everything done as soon as possible.

Chain Reaction 159 Sketch​

Here is the sketch for page 159 of Chain Reaction. Jack finally goes in and gets what he's been after all along.

I had this done sooner, so I also have good progress on the lines, but I wanted to get my website up and running again first. The reason is that, as can be seen in the bottom margin, my URL is temporarily changed from .com to .moe, and I wanted this reflected on current updates. I will be trying to get my site changed back as soon as possible, but that could take weeks or even months, so I'm just doing what I can to have things up and running in some way.

For anyone that cares, I also went back and reuploaded the current finished pages of this scene to have the new domain. This is because I want it consistent with what I will be uploading onto my website. Since my website went down right after the previous scene of Sultry Summer ended, I had not begun uploading these to it yet, so there were no public versions with the .com URL. This way I can keep the whole scene consistent moving forward, and hopefully help people not subscribed find my website. I have not changed any previous sketches or lines because I don't feel that worth the extra time.

Now I finally get some food then get back to working on this.
