Trying Not To Burn Out - Blog Posts

2 pages from the graphic novel that is currently brewing besides the Zelda zine. Catching a rhythm with color at last.

Color is always really challenging for me, and always feels so daunting, specially when it comes to the first pages. This project is really special and the want to get it “perfect” can fill one with doubts. I found myself doing minimal color changes, that were barely noticeable to the first batch of pages instead of advancing just for fear of screwing it up. I figured that if i kept down that road I wouldn’t be able to stick to the planned schedule. Now I’m finally able to not be so hard on the results and focus on going forward despite the doubts.

But lets tell you a little more about the characters!

The lady in blue is Severine, a young girl who as an amateur naturalist has a small collection of specimens at her attic. She’s noticed that some of them are gone, the salamanders in particular. Usually is her little sister, Elisa the one that messes around with her stuff, but the little demon insists in her not being the culprit this time.
