Okay we’re 35 pages complete of Kinfolk #2, and I’m just out of the first scene and last night I made some different setups – like posing the characters in different scene/lighting situations, ready for the next bits of the comic.
This is the fun part really – getting my Barbie and Ken dolls into new places and seeing how they smoosh together UH-UH-UH-UH! Great fun.
Anyway I don’t want to give too much away, so here’s some inconsequential renders
^ you can see the poke-through on Jilly’s knickers. It’s little issues like that that takes a while, when you’re setting these things up – some of the errors I leave (it can’t be perfect, too much faff), and then when I’m adding speech bubbles later I just hide the problem.
Anyway, great fun. And I now know the path this comic is going to take. Kinfolk is going to be a series of three fairly large comics when it’s complete – this middle one is fairly calm and chill, our two enjoying the weather and talking shit for hours. Lovely!
I really think that if the Ken and Barbie dolls were more anatomically correct (not quite like these two), there would be far fewer issues in the world.
Just like in the Family Bubble series, there are serious women’s issues being explained to the masses. Certainly a public service.
Seeing all of the work you put into these works makes a person appreciate them more.
Thanks semi 🙂
Looking forward to this coming episode. I trust that you will make it beatiful.
Yeah, interestingly (to me), I’m finding it hard matching the beauty of the first comic! A lot fo the poses and renders I’m like … ah, I need to try harder to get this up to the standard of Kinfolk #1, because that lighting … hoo-eee yessir. Boobies.
I mean bubbers.
