First shaded comic?

Post by CelineSSauve » Thu Mar 14, 2013 6:11 pm

Searching my mind for when shading began, I remembered it was during the fight between Biscuit and that white Goblin dude (Gem, I think?).

I believe this was the last unshaded http://www.goblinscomic.com/08242012/ and this was the first shaded http://www.goblinscomic.com/08282012/
.

That means the fourth book will change style near the ending, if I understand the updated archives correctly. :shock:

On shaded pages you can clearly see transparent body parts, so I believe it started earlier than that.

So, Celine is correct in that Morikahn took over coloring duties in between those two comics, but Thunt had been doing his own shading for a while before that.

I'm not sure how they'll handle that in the book, to be honest... Maybe they will hire Morikahn to go back and reshade the other pages for the book? That's no doubt up to Thunt and the publisher.

Just to nitpick, the "last" unshaded comic there isn't the last, because several strips during the FMK / Zombies / Triplekin fight haven't been shaded yet. Forest may go back and deal with them, but for now he's doing the more recent stuff, so like for instance the "I always carry rope!" strip is shaded, but the "Herbert...Turn Undead!" one right after it still isn't.

I'd thought so too, because the change wasn't that sudden. I remember sending Thunt an email that it seems a bit too dark to fit in with the previous pages, but the new colourist explained that. :oops:
