Even though it made for a short scene, we decided to cut the two, feeling this scene was best made to stand alone.
Ah Isabelle. Like most of the characters in The Sovereigncy, she is from a RP, though her origins are different here, she’s got special meaning to Cross.
There was actually supposed to be a stand alone ‘photograph’ to go along with this scene, featuring Seb and Maddie standing by the coffin with Jake and Bella almost off camera. Unfortunately we never got around to getting it done.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is one of those rare ‘Cross had an idea and wanted to do it’ scenes. Drawing it first then adding in the dialogue. Kris supplying the dialogue for the last seven panels.
Short and simple, yet still holds some favorite independent panels.
The script called for this press conference to be inside the palace. But I had this awesome image of a city I wanted to use, so outside it went. ~ Cross
Bella at the end there, really enjoyed doing that one. I love emotionally charged images, always hope they come out. ~ Cross Photo reference for the stairs: Deviantart’s faestock
Here Kris thought I should have had Seb’s laughing fit last two more panels. He was right. I should have. ~ Cross
Dunno why, but love how the first panel came out. ALSO the evolution of painted explosions continues! ~ Cross
Used the first panel of this scene in one of our promotional post cards.
I was leary about how to do the displays of power here. Some didn’t turn out so great but the ones that did were accidental. The power slam and Seb’s radiating blast totally happy accidents. ~ Cross
Oi. So here, Sev’s whiskers/beard. A post-scan addition. Due to a miscommunication of what character was what, they had to be added in photoshop. ~ Cross
This pretty much marks the true beginning of my enjoyment of taking the time for additional panels just for the sake of body language and expression. ~ Cross
Chapter: The Sovereigncy One
Location: Scythera
We still haven’t settled on just what race our good Sergeant is here. There are options though….
There was actually more body to Jake at the bottom. But it got cropped out because it looked lame. ~ Cross
FIGHT! FIGHT! All those spells swirling around Missa? Photoshop additions. The only part of her powers done by hand and paint are the red swirls. ~ Cross
Apparently, according to Kris I nailed the mood/feel this conversation was supposed to have. ~ Cross
Nate there on the bottom. Making fun of the helmet. Priceless.
My sister likes the couch. Go figure. ~ Cross
The panel when Seb checks his phone while waiting? Not in the script. I just thought it’d be funny. ~ Cross
Originally there was supposed to be a table in that room, so Maddie could pound her hands down on it. But I dislike tables. So the sofa got a beating. ~ Cross (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ ~K
Chapter: The Sovereigncy One
First panel. On my list of top ten favorite images in the strip so far. ~ Cross Pose inspiration for second winged Seraph: Deviantart’s yuchenghong
Nate’s slightly squirmy face never turned out quite how I would have liked. Close though. ~Cross
Chapter: The Sovereigncy One
Of all of the four Royalty strips, this one is my favorite. ~ Cross
