Note: It recently occurred to me that Clip Studio Paint on the iPad likes to shift dialogue boxes in balloons to the right. It’s a very unappealing effect, and it makes me look like I don’t know how to use the program… even less than usual, I mean. The images have been updated with the improvements.
Why not provide some commentary at the end of these things? I’m sure readers would want me to explain myself.
So far this is the shortest scene but, as far as my aching hands are concerned, it’s the most detailed in terms of backgrounds. Clip Studio Paint does have a way to “extract” lines from reference photos, but I didn’t like the effect.
I didn’t get my mythology mixed up. Of course centaurs aren’t native to Ireland. If humans from different countries can immigrate there, so too can other types of folks. Besides, I’m sure residents appreciate an alternative to the usual ridesharing services.
I’m sure centaurs can obey Irish road laws. They just choose not to when it’s convenient.
I don’t like the quality of the last panel, but I export these at 85% quality JPGs to save space. If I were publishing books, this would be a different matter. (And figuring out how to publish a seamless webtoon as a book would be another different matter.)
Note: Yes, I’m aware of the white spaces between certain images. This is one of the many downsides to having a site on WordPress.com: the persistent use of blocks. WordPress.com claims that its blocks–its precious, wonderful blocks–are so versatile, that anyone can create anything they want on their sites.
This isn’t the case as you can see above. The seamless effect I’d been going for is ruined because of the space between blocks.
Yes, I did try different solutions. I tried grouping the images, editing them as HTML, and a number of other things I can’t remember right now.
I could install the Classic Editor plugin to get the exact look I want… but that requires a paid upgrade. Because of course it does.
Make a liar out of me, won’t you, WordPress.com? Those spaces between images were in the preview, not on the real post. Cripes, I still dislike WordPress.com so much, I don’t even want to take back what I said. I’ll just strike it out instead.
Full disclosure: Since I suck at drawing buildings, I used a 3D model in Clip Studio Paint and made some slight modifications. The original model was made by Lizin (リージン) and can be found here. (Added December 1, 2022)
