My first post here so I'd like to present you a promo banner I made for a comic project I'm working on - The Owl Tribe. I'm going to document and present my work progress here so I hope you'll enjoy it!

Last winter it was picked up by Sandawe, a Franco-Belgian publisher/crowdfunding platform, and ever since then, I've been working hard on every aspect of the project and the campaign (which finished at 152%). Here's the link to the project page in case you're curious... and here's the cover :wink:

Anyway, the progress has been amazing: the whole book (56 pages!) is drawn and written. Now, I'm mainly colouring the pages (more than half to go) and preparing rewards for my Sandawe supporters. So, since the French version is nearing completion, I've also started considering options for publishing the English version (which is already written)...

Here's some artwork I've done and a shot of the current look of all the pages.

Hey! This seems cool! What medium is this? Looks a bit like watercolor!

Man that looks really nice! Definitelly keep updating your progress. I bet I won't be the only one who will find it pretty cool :blush: Wish you all the best for your project!

Thanks, guys!

@achronic it's mixed media actually: traditional pencils on A3 bristol coloured with digital watercolour brushes in PS... good eye, then :smile:

PS you can check out my YT link from the first post, there's plenty of speedpainting/colouring clips there

Congrats. This is just a lot of work.
I saw the pages and the link!
Will that be a printed version or just digital?

Thanks, schmigel! Yes, it's a heavy load, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel :wink:
It'll be digital for sure, but I really don't know about the print version... I'll probably have to crowdfund it somewhere (unless it gets picked up).

Cool stuff in ere!

Is that last image every page of the book? Or will it be longer?

Either way, it's a lot of work, but you're knocking it out of the park!!

Thanks, big-misch. It is a lot of work indeed. And yes, that's a shot of all the pages of the book, 56 in total.
