Legion Issue 2 progress!


It's been a long time coming, but I am finally making some progress on the second issue of Legion. I'm trying to get this thing finished before Christmas, or at the end of the year at the latest. I took a lot more time to ink the pages properly and it definitely shows (The first issue was used as a final project for a college class so it was a bit rushed). I'm still having some issues scanning the images into photoshop so I am still using illustrator to straighten up the line work with live trace, however since I inked the actual pages before I scanned them in they are showing up a LOT better even with the live trace. So issue 2, while still using some of the techniques used in issue 1, is overall massively improved. I definitely need to invest in a better scanner next year. Overall I have 10 pages colored, which means I have 5 more pages of the main story and 5 more for the backup. Since I started working on this issue WAY back (around when  finished the first issue) there is going to be a part where the art style changes a bit because I've refined and improved my style a bit. I'm hoping it's not too jarring, but I didn't want to get rid of those older pages because I remember being pretty pleased with them when I originally did them. I got a lot of feedback and apparently people really liked the backup story and were interested to read more about the "boy who blew up everything", and while I'm definitely excited to do more with the character, I can't promise anything more than the 5 page backups at this time, sorry guys!


As a bonus, here's an image from the second issue of Adam using his power to form a giant concrete fist! I'd hate to be the guy who is going to get whacked by that thing!

Thanks for reading! And remember...

Eat It.
