I decided to share some process/progress pictures of a panel from the upcoming issue 4 of The Adventurers to prove it is progressing, if a little slowly. This page called for a big panel as it's a special moment.

| Ellie overlooking the city. |
Buildings have been sketched in and perspective lines ruled. It's always tricky trying to get some different building designs that also look like they belong in the same city.
 |
| Refining the buildings. |
I have changed some of the buildings in a effort to give it a more art deco feel. Also to give room for more buildings in the background to help show more of the city.
 |
| Initial inking |
Initial inks have been applied and I've blacked the shadows. The scene is set at night and I want to make it look like the light source is the streets below.
 |
| Almost finished. |
Shadows have been added to the characters. Gradient lines to the buildings. It still isn't complete. The next step is to make some adjustments digitally. I will tweak the buildings in the very back ground in order to create the illusion of more distance. I will also experiment with more shadows in the foreground. Digital is wonderful because of the "undo" function. I can try something and if it doesn't work, I can just undo it.
There you have it. A progress page from The Adventurers Issue 4.
