Kualan Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 VOLUME THREE - ISSUE FIVE - DEN OF VICE, PT. 1 is now ready to view!However, the Tales From The Clone Wars site is currently having a lot of issues (I really need to get a new site provider, it's shocking) so I've uploaded the issue to an Imgur gallery for easy viewing. Feedback and constructive criticism always welcomed. Cerez, Penekowski, JAWSFreelao and 4 others like this
Cerez Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Waah! No criticism here, just fan love. I love Zym's entrance and that exchange. <3 Also, Ki-Adi-Mundi was awesome -- the real thing! And the exchange between master and student was brilliant. Kualan likes this
Kualan Posted January 24, 2017 Author Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks @@Cerez , glad you enjoyed it. Out of curiosity does anyone have any recommendations for a good reliable web-host with a n00b-friendly sitebuilding interface? Seriously want to jump ship on the current host site for this comic since I'm getting nothing but problems from Webs.com these days.

Kualan Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Script for the next issue is finalised and I'll be kicking off Photoshop 'production' tomorrow. The next issue will be out a LOT sooner than the last since I've ironed out some of the plot wrinkles that held me up before. Cerez likes this

Cerez Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Oh no!!! What'll become of them?! I'm psyched! Interesting choice of weaponry on Zym's part... @@Kualan, the new environments you come up with are just brilliant. (I know this map, but it felt like an entirely different place now.)

Yeah, when it comes to using different maps for the same in-story location there's a few tricks to help keep the immersion up - from simple stuff like consistent colour palettes to adding in windows and stuff that link to the other map and make it seem like they're all connected. I have this week off from work so I've been able to get down and really work on the next issue. I'd say I got about 30% of it done today, so I'm anticipating the whole thing being done for the weekend (I hope). Cerez and therfiles like this
Jeff Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 What map is it? It looks really familiar, but I can't figure it out. Anyways looking forward to this issue.
NumberWan Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 The casino is actually from the old Expanded Universe. I am glad to see so many elements sticking together in one story. This is what they've started in The Clone Wars, but the show was cancelled, so TFTCW continue the tradition. And this issue boasts quite a lot of interesting characters in the background, which are yet to be named. Who is that Jawa in the hat??? I love it! Cerez likes this
Kualan Posted February 2, 2017 Author Posted February 2, 2017 What map is it? It looks really familiar, but I can't figure it out. Anyways looking forward to this issue. The main casino map comes from HERE whilst the map used for the guest quarters in the preview for Part 2 comes from HERE . I then added in windows / new skyboxes via Photoshop to make them appear as one cohesive location in the comic. The casino is actually from the old Expanded Universe.

Heh, yeah the casino is straight from the old Thrawn Trilogy I believe, and I've kept it as the same one (the LoBue). And you're right, the background characters walking around on the casino floor are filled with easter eggs and cameos. Points for whoever can find them all Jeff, Cerez and NumberWan like this

Cerez Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Woohoo! Go Asher! (Loved the Lady Zym vs. Asher/Mundi conflict.) She's good, but Asher's something else with his extensive combat experience! Basically skilled bounty hunter vs. experienced soldier.) Great looking bruises -- fantastic skinning! And best of all... A wondeful Tarkin vs. Mundi/Windu moral conflict! Absolutely brilliant storytelling! The ending was catchy! Love it - love it - love it! <3 You have me waiting (impatiently!!!) for the next issue! Kualan likes this
Jeff Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Incredible writing and story I swear I could hear Tarkin, Ki-Adi, and the clones just from reading the dialog. Can't wait to see what's next. Cerez likes this

Pleased to hear you liked it Cerez! The Zym-Asher fight was originally much different. In the first draft it was much more of a smackdown for her, and I toyed with making her Force Sensitive but I realised earlier on that this made her too similar to characters like Aurra Sing. So instead I made her fighting style based more on tricks (the whip, the Falleen pheromones, etc) rather than just being able to go toe-to-toe with a physical clone of Jango Fett. Incredible writing and story I swear I could hear Tarkin, Ki-Adi, and the clones just from reading the dialog. Can't wait to see what's next. Awesome to hear! Out of curiosity - do you read the clones' voice as Temuera Morrison from the films or Dee Bradley Baker from the show? Since introducing Asher and Corliss (and having the need to write them as distinct personalities) I've been leaning more towards hearing Baker in my head when writing the issues. Cerez likes this

the_raven Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 like this!one question for the knowledgeable - how do I make my own comic? I have a few ideas, and I understand that I mainly need to make screens, edit and arrange them, but how do I animate the characters properly for the screens?
Cerez Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I have a few ideas, and I understand that I mainly need to make screens, edit and arrange them, but how do I animate the characters properly for the screens? I think one way to do it would be to create a simple "greenscreen box" map, and take all your shots in there, then take the green background out in Photoshop, and add whatever background shots you've taken instead. But I'll leave it to the master to answer this question.
