My thoughts on the craft, the process and the subjects
Here is the ink of the third panel of my fluids comic book. When I was laying out this panel, I made a decision to use a 3D model for the backgrounds, and now that I am several pages into inking, I am certainly glad that I did so. Considering that the story takes place in the same room full of small details, maintaining consistency of the set without the ability to simply re-position the camera would have been impossible.
I’ve been working on a fictional short story, hopefully the first in a series, on the subject of my academic research and teaching – fluid mechanics. As a colleague of mine said about teaching fluids at the university level, “fluids is a dry subject”. In the hope of making it a bit more entertaining, I’decided to try a manga format. It’s a crime story set in the not-very-distant future with the working title “The Flowing Clue: La Source Unveiled”
Here are the inks of the first two panels. Stay tuned for the updates on this work in progress.
