Webcomics and Graphic Novels, Fantasy and Sci-Fi by Mark Oakley!
What
is, Thieves &
Kings?
“Thoroughly
engrossing self-published black-and white fantasy saga. [. . .] This is
a story for fans of Bone, Elfquest, Nausicaa, or Harry Potter to fall
in love with; highly recommended for teen and adult fantasy readers
everywhere.”
Please become my Patron! It's super-easy. See Patreon to find out how. -Now, don't worry; everything will remain free to read here, (many of my readers do not have credit cards, after all). But I'm a full-time cartoonist and I need to pay the bills. There are hundreds of folks reading, so those who are able, please consider chipping in with as much or as little as you choose. Even a buck a month would be a blessing! Those of you who have already extended your support, oh my goodness, Thank-You! It literally means the world to me!
I thought it might be fun to make available for download the full-resolution (around 50 Mb) working file for the next episode of Stardrop. This includes the pencil and lettering layers. This is for anybody interested in trying their hand at inking my stuff... Give it a go!
I realize when looking at my pencils that I do a fair amount of detail work during the inking stage, so I tried to tighten them up a little more than usual this time for the benefit of anybody who might come across one of my scribbles and think, "Um, there's a hand somewhere in that mess..?"
Please feel free to take liberties where you see fit. You'll need to.
I've provided two file formats, both .tif and .psd which can be opened in your art program of choice. (ClipStudio doesn't import layers from .tif very well, so if you stick with the .psd file, you should be okay.)
I'll be posting my own finished version of this strip in a few days time, so you can compare! Feel free to send me a copy of your finished work if you feel like sharing!
