Torpid prototypes — Description
I dug these up and decided to upload them, seeing as the first one is basically where we are in the comic now time wise! The other is a deleted scene.

When I decided to make Torpid into a graphic novel, I tried many different styles for it. My original intention was to make it traditionally, inspired by one of my favorite webcomics, but after conducting these two pages, I decided that making it digitally would be more beneficial for me.

The first attempt was just making the comics with inks. And as you can see, the result was kinda lackluster. I don't really have much experience with inking, and it's a very careful progress as far as my understanding for it goes - so I was kinda missing what I wanted to achieve, which was atmosphere.

The second attempt was made using markers. It was definitely better, but time consuming as all hell. Pretty sure I had to apply at least three rounds with the marker to achieve that colour on Triplus. So, this one was trashed as well in favor of making the comic digitally. This page was the birth of the "KAZ" tag, which is spread throughout the comic.

Enjoy!
