And I introduce my first attempt at rendered 3D backgrounds using Google Sketchup (remember how I was talking about that before?). Hopefully I was able to blend it in well enough with my style so that it doesn’t look too out of place… I’ll probably be learning more about this as I go. It certainly beats trying to draw one big backdrop… or using nondescript backgrounds all the time.

I’ve also set this update blog to be the front page of the site so that you can see the newest update news upon first visit. Not the prettiest of things, but functional. Enjoy!

I know it’s been a while since my last revamp update, and I do apologize. However, I’m glad, in a funny way, that I waited this long before I got back into the revamp pages. During the week’s summer vacation I had, Syn visited and introduced me to Google Sketchup. Though I’m still learning the program, it seems like an excellent way for me to render more realistic, detailed and consistent backgrounds. Of course, I have edit them to make the match my style better. But I think that the outcome is going to help the overall quality of the comic when all is said and done.

You’ll see the first sample of a rendered background on Chapter 2, Page 6, when Aur first enters Ben’s room. In the meantime, I’m going to try to get back into the swing of things and get some revamp pages up again!

It’s a minimalist piece and I decided to go for a more scenic page than the original. Just trying to establish the location of the Tower compared to the Blue Planet.
