Good day, friends! Remember that crypto-dystopian comic book inspired by Steemit I mentioned? If not, have a look at the script of the first issue and a bunch of character design in my previous post "Full script of issue #001 of Cryptopia, my Steemit inspired comic!". Well, I just finished the pencils for page one!
The last few weeks for me have been awash with turmoil and seemingly endless photography work [...not complaining about that]. I hit my saturation point, and when that happens, all I want to do is draw. It's my therapy, and I was long overdue by the start of this week.
Here's a look at the first page of Cryptopia - Issue #001. Here we see Detectives Howe and Arendse arriving on the scene of a particularly heinous murder just uncovered amongst a construction site in West Brompton, London. Some poor soul has been buried alive in a tomb, supplied with bottles of water and air ventilation pipes. The inch deep claw marks on the casket interior suggest the deceased was alive for day, maybe weeks.
Finishing this first page was a great way to reignite my passion for Cryptopia. I'll be sharing the pages that follow shortly. All draw using Procreate on the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
Thanks for reading! Follow my blog @Kommienezuspadt!
Amazing work.

Thanks @gportman! After quite a bit of research I learned West Brompton is a pretty expensive neighborhood, but in this world, the physical wealth has collapsed and previously "ritzy" areas have become high crime ghettos.

It seems pretty authentic, as there are a lot of building sites in West Brompton at the moment. Look forward to seeing further instalments.

This page has instant appeal.
I am a comic artist new on Steemit and I think is cool what you've done so far with the designs and script work. On this page, I love your use simplified shapes for background elements and figures (something I should do more). Let me know if you are open to critiques because I do have couple of questions / potential improvements for flow and things that jump out at me. I am not a fan of critiques when the artist isn't looking for them. Either way great job!! Following you for sure, Steemit comic guys got to stick together.

Constructive criticism is most definitely welcomed @catapanoart! I just checked out your work! Incredible. Followed immediately.

Ok, I'll break down what I see, and maybe it will help. You have a great "Z" shaped read on the page overall which is awesome and you obviously did that purposefully. To help with that, you could do a couple of things.
Didn't think my explanation was good enough so I did this paint over.
These are all things that might help, but at the same time maybe you have reasons for it to be as is. Either way, awesome job, hope to see more pages soon.
