Scrooge McDuck
The last issue of Disney Adventures is in stores right now. We have two pieces in this issue; a one page Kid Gravity story titled "Paranoia", and what was almost the first of a new series of Scrooge McDuck comics. Eric Jones, colorist Pannel Vaughn and myself have been pursuing this project for the last year or so, and luckily managed to get in one published 3 page strip before the axe fell.
This is the comic strip we created as a sample in the hopes of kick starting the project. Not my favorite bit of writing. But it served as a vehicle for the art while we found our legs with the characters.
The process behind this was a fun one for us. Eric drew each panel on an entire sheet of paper. Then I scanned in the artwork and printed it out on paper Pannel had procured that took well to water color (we had to experiment quite a bit to find the right stock), then we rescanned each fully hand colored illustration and dropped it into a page format. From there, this one page bit underwent the standard process via Illustrator and Photoshop.
I'm pleased with the end result visually. The Scrooge work disappeared with the rest of Disney Adventures, but I'm hoping we can find another outlet for this production style.
