Style of my comic

Style:

What colouring style will I be looking at using for my comic?

Ideally i would love to have a fully coloured comic but still using the manga style, like a cross between a manga ( Greyscale Japanese influenced style) and a Manhwa (Korean coloured webcomic).

Below is the mood boards I created to help me decide. Time wise I  know with my style I will find it hard to do this quantity of pages in the time frame given. So I will likely conform to the normal manga style using screen tones a grey scale cell shading.



I was feeling a little dejected about what colour style I should use when i came across this anime called Katsugeki Touken Ranbu. Aside from loving the characters and story arc's I fell in love with the opening. It had this greyscale block harsh colour scheme which quickly changed to this vibrant beautifully coloured anime. I was thinking of adapting this for my manga, having the majority of the comic in this harsh yet beautiful greyscale style, then the last page(s) to be in colour. This allows for adaption if I run out of time for it to continue running in the grey scale, but also gives me the option to be colour.

Below is the link to the opening if you are interested in seeing it!

Bone Rank System

I thought, since it is quite prominent in my story, that i would delve into the Korean Silla Dynasty's bone rank system  to get a clear understanding of just what it means. The Bone Rank System, so called because it was based on a person’s hereditary bloodline, was introduced as part of a new law  in 520 CE by king Beophung. However,  GolPum system was technically abolished with the fall of Unified Silla in 935. This is the simplest diagram I could find which explained the kind of standing that people had, and how it corroborated with their title. First of, a Sunggol or 'Sacred Bone' They have to be directly related to royalty on BOTH sides of their parents. Up until King Muyeol, only a Sunggol could ascend to the throne. It was due to the lack of an adequate male Sunggol which made it possible for both Queen Seon Duk and Queen Jindeok to ascend to the throne. They were the last of the Sunggols. Jingol 진골 also known as “True Bone” refers to someone who was dire

Front Cover

Designing my front cover! Using Medibang as the main source for adding colour, I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Using one of my perspective drawings of the shrine I designed, I chose an area I wanted it to be situated. I want to include the three main characters, but not the extra's s of yet, i want them to remain in the story alone. I went through the roughest sketch through to line art and colour all digitally. I had this idea for the cover since the beginning and finally getting to draw it is exciting. For the rough sketch I used Clip Studio Paint EX, Line art was Paint Tool SAI, Colouring was Medi Band and the final effects where added with Photoshop CS6. I am really pleased with the final outcome, it is quite brightly coloured and at an interesting angled, but isn't too busy or overwhelming. I think the composition is just about right in terms of balance, and quite effective with the sunset backdrop. For the title the disjointed font is qui

Meetings:

11/4/18 Three weeks are left before the deadline and the stress has begun to raise its head. Its apparent in all the 5 members attending, myself included. Although I am proud to see that instead of panicking and submitting to the pressure, everyone is raising their work effort and trying their best to meet the deadline head-on. The table dimensions was posted today for the MCM table which is 2 x 6 foot. In the following weeks we will discuss the presentation method and display ideas for the table. We also discussed the possibility of business cards and other merchandise for our group. Millie is still waiting on  response from her father on the car arrangements, which means there is a halt in buying train tickets for the moment. MCM has rather strict rules against fanart if you are not behind a dealers table so original artworks will be required, weather it is comic influenced or not is another matter entirely and a personal decision. Again the banner was discussed, but we came to
