It’s usually the same, project to project. After reading the script, written by Michael Swanwick, I begin to do tiny layouts. Roughly 1” x 1.5”. This allows me to focus on basic shapes, flow of panels, panel sizes, and a rough idea of lettering space needed. This is before I gather any reference, or develop any designs. https://onceuponatimemachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/longbow_handletters1.jpgAfter the thumbnail stage, I’ll do a quick pass at all the lettering. I enjoy doing this myself on smaller stories, and, I like to see hand lettering on pages. It doesn’t happen too often these days. This stage also allows me to reassess my page layouts, and see if I need more or less space in certain panels to accommodate the balloons/captions. https://onceuponatimemachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/longbow_designs1.jpgThese are my quick passes at the character designs from the story. I asked Michael for a brief, physical description of each character, then started to come up with their looks. I tried to incorporate a little fashion sense from Ancient Greece, and a VERY simplified Kirby influence to some of the clothing.
