Testing a new method, to try to speed up a bit.
Just blocking out dark areas quickly on the whole page. Then modeling out details bit by bit.
Quite fun and feels very free.
No sketching.
Lower two panels just blocked out, the rest almost finished.
But - does it look too much like 70’s pulp horror? 😀 What do you think?
Read about the project here:
These are the first pages of my Codex Atlantica, a dark history/techno thriller.
Is the style consistent and clear enough to pursue?
Anything you would change?
Will be four parts with around thirty pages each.

My upcoming Codex Atlantica graphic novel series also is an alternate reality game. Solve the mysteries before the characters do!
I have been working on this for a while. A few pages are done and the full script is around 125 pages.

How’s it looking? :)

ATLANTICA
A GRAPHIC NOVEL 10,000
YEARS IN THE MAKING
A young, socially awkward philologist discovers that her mentor might have uncovered something both fantastic and disturbing.
He was laughed at, disgraced and ultimately eliminated.
Now she finds that he was right all along. But also, that the truth is immensely more shocking than he knew.
Accompanied by a pragmatic and tenacious journalist, she is pursued all over Europe by powerful factions with very different motivations.
She is prepared to sacrifice everything for the truth.
But should the truth be set free — or buried?
