< The start of the 250 storyline

Doing the visual work for a typical AFR comic– the rendering, composing, postwork, etc.– takes 1-2 hours.  This one took over 30 hours all told.  And there are more comics coming up that are going to take a lot of work.  I’m happy with how this series is going, but I’m also looking forward to getting back to just telling jokes.

    • Yep. I’ve been able to schedule myself some time to work on these comics in advance, which is good. Particularly for the last few comics in the series, I’m going to need it.

    • Thanks, you’ll see the stories play out and come back together soon.

      I do most of the character work in Poser. It has the advantage of being very flexible and fairly easy to use, but the drawback that it doesn’t really look like WoW. You don’t entirely appreciate how distinctive a visual style the game has until you try to imitate it.

  5. I dunno if it can be a real montage though. There seems to be a lack of an 80’s song in the background.
