Mix-media effect

Warning Spoilers 

In Black Voyage there is a portal and I didn't want to draw out the portal as I felt I wasn't confident enough to draw a convincing portal. So I used the same technique I used in Transplant on Sophia's home.

This involved making prints from shaving foam and ink. Once these were done I scanned them in & did a quick edit on photoshop. After I was happy with the color quality I used the twirl tool in the filter bar.

Print using only black & red ink

A Black ink only print

This print already has a spiral design before the editing has begun

These multicolored ones are more visually pleasing however, they don't fit with the Black & White theme of the comic

This creates a perfectly looking portal which I will then place in the panels where needed. This technique is more authentic at creating a portal and will be continued to be used to have some consistency.

As you can see from the examples there were a variety of colors in the prints along with the pure black ones. However I did not use them as my comic is Black and white and felt the colors would be more appropriate in the full color version I will do once part two is finished next semester.


That also goes for Elizabeth's dress as I used the prints as the designs on her dress to give the character a way of standing out among the other women about. In the colored version she will look like this.

However for this version she will look like this. I prefer the black & white version as it's the dress pattern that gives her the uniqueness and the color is another dimension of that.
