The Last of the Polar Bears pg 37
Why is this page in black-and-white?
Short Answer: While I’m preparing for The Last of the Polar Bears’ big relaunch, I thought it would be fun to share the raw pencil pages for the next part of the story. As soon as new color pages are ready for viewing, I’ll return to the regular format. 😉
If you’re new here, you might want to click the ‘first’ button on the navigation bar above to jump back to the beginning of the comic and see how the pages normally look with coloring and finishing touches.
Long Answer: I’m currently in the process of storyboarding the comic in its entirety, in preparation for a big early 2012 relaunch, and a return to regular weekly updates.
As part of storyboarding the comic, I’ve reworked the first chapter. There’s a couple of important reasons for this, but for now I’ll just say that due to the changes, I won’t be able to use the pages I created last year and will be making a fresh start (though I will be able to salvage quite a few panels from them).
Leading up to the big relaunch, I have about 20 pages I penciled last year, but never posted. Since I won’t be able to use them in their current form for the relaunch, I thought it would be fun to share them in their raw pencil form…enjoy! 🙂
Personally, I think you should LEAVE it in B&W. We’re looking at snow, white bears, white foxes, white rabbits, and shadows, after all. Coloring it will take away from the art – which is excellent, BTW.
Personally I like it better colored, I think it looks more nice, but really it’s all your choice. This comic is awesome! I can’t wait untill the next page is out!
