This is Ichor's first finished concept. I used my phone instead of the scanner because this handmade notebook won’t fit. Some things may get touched up a little when it goes into the comic, but once I crop the notebook out it should work as a panel. I wanted to post this first because it turned out exactly as I had imagined, which never fucking happens. I hesitated to do a graphic novel by hand in ink, but it feels right for this story.
I had originally planned to draw this the same way I am drawing Prodigy, drawing the first drafts by hand and then scanning them in to finish digitally in full color. For Ichor, I may do certain background elements digitally, but most of the art will be like this image. I’ll still go nuts with color for most of the covers, but the body of the comic will have a limited color palette. I may add a splash of red watercolor to certain panels. Friday will be a few more concepts from Ichor, and the next page for Prodigy will arrive on Monday.
