[Announcement] Contagious Augmentation - Part 3

Published: October 18th 2024, 2:38:13 pm

What, can it really be!? A new part of Contagious Augmentation?

I know it probably seemed to you like I had completely forgotten about the series, but I didn’t ^^
I just had a massive writer’s block with the story. I didn’t want to just retell the same story from Part 1 again; I wanted to bring more variety into it – and I think I’ve finally managed to do that.

But in the end, you’ll be the ones to judge when the comic comes out in the middle of next week!

Busting Boundaries - Part 3

With Busting Boundaries Part 3, my first two longer comic series (Busting Boundaries and Udderly Unbelievable) have now come to an end. Since this feels like a significant milestone for me, I took the opportunity to reflect a bit (What did I do well? What didn’t go as well? What can I improve in the future?) and have made a few changes to my processes.

A major change is definitely in the writing process. From now on, I’m going to approach it completely differently and give it a lot more attention, which will hopefully lead to more interesting stories and better dialogue.

I also want to invest more time in post-editing the images and illustrating the pages. A new technique that I’ve been trying to perfect was already showcased in the SDXL remake of Udderly Unbelievable and in Busting Boundaries Part 3: characters going beyond the panel borders (see Busting Boundaries - Part 3, Page 10). I’m definitely going to play around with that in Part 3 of Contagious Augmentation as well. I’m not completely satisfied with it yet, but once I get a bit more practice, I think I’ll be able to achieve even more interesting effects.

In addition, I have a few other techniques in mind that I definitely want to try out over the next few weeks to months. Some of it I might discard, and some will stick around for good. Of course, that will depend mostly on how much you all end up liking it.

Now, I know this post was more of a meta-update than actually saying much about Busting Boundaries Part 3, but hopefully, there were still some interesting tidbits for you.

We’ll talk again next week!
Until then, take care of yourselves!
