We take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the project and/or shared it.
Thanks to you, we have reached 33% of the goal! =D

Discord and content of the month

Published by Suisei at 28/09/2018 à 09h45

Hi everyone !

I am here today to announce the exclusive content that I will deliver to the patrons at the end of the month.
As the planning for this month of September is a little tight, I'm announcing everything at once instead of publishing a news by type of content. So the news of the day will be a little copious.

But first of all, we have a newcomer among the patrons and it is time to thank him and welcome him!

Welcome to Salagir! I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope you will enjoy it here. =D

Salagir writes several comics that you can discover and support here. =)

New features!

Discussion channel on Discord

Before talking about the usual content, I have a little something new to offer to all patrons.
The discord channel, which until now was only used for private lives, is now permanently open to chat whenever you want, with me or with each other. :)
I will provide again the address of the channel in a private news for patrons.

The channel is organized into several thematic subchannels as shown in the capture below.

There is a general channel to discuss everything and nothing, often used during private lives, a channel per comic project, a channel to discuss drawing and art (tips, tricks or other) and a vocal channel for private lives.
Each theme is available in French and English.
Of course, the list is not fixed and may evolve over time. =)
In fact, it is like a forum but by instant messaging.

Facebook group

For all patrons who use facebook, I have created a private group where all the pages of Space Wizard McKcarell are grouped into albums. I also publish links to the news here as and private lives planning.
I will remind you of the link to the group regularly in the private news so that you can apply to join the group if you are not yet a member.

For patrons who don't have Facebook, don't panic. There will be no exclusive content on this group, so you won't miss anything! =D
This is just a little extra convenience for users of this platform.

Content of the month

Now that the new features have been announced, it is time to talk about the usual content.
As usual, the download links for these contents will be sent by email to the patrons for their contribution once the tips of the month have been validated.

Tutorial of the month

This month I will explain how to remove a blue sketch from a black and white comic page or illustration without eraser. I will explain how to do that with The Gimp, Photoshop, Affinity Photo and Clip Studio Paint.
This tuto will be delivered to all patrons who have taken the reward Backstage or more.

Graphic resources of the month

This month I propose you a pack containing many speedlines in very high resolution for use in your comics or illustrations.
They are generated by programs that I have written with Javascript and SVG.

In addition to these speedlines, I will also deliver 2 pages of my personal colour chart for Promarkers pens. If you use these tools yourself it can help you reproduce certain effects without wasting time with thousands of tests.

In this month's pack: new skin colors, oranges, sand and rock hues.

The complete resource pack will be delivered to all patrons who have taken the Graphic artist pack or more.

Illustrations of the month

This time I will deliver existing illustrations (but never published in HD) because I was still really busy with chapter 2 of Dragon Cat's Galaxia 1/2 (finally finished !!!).

This month, the G-rated illustration will be in colour and the NSFW illustration in black and white.

G-rated illustration

NSFW illustration

The HD scan of the G-rated illustration will be delivered to all patrons who have chosen the reward HD pack or more. The NSFW illustration in HD and uncensored will be delivered to all patrons who have chosen a reward labeled NSFW.

A6 ex-libris and holocards of these illustration will be delivered to the patrons depending on whether they have chosen the reward Little collector or The 90's kid, NSFW or not.

That’s all for today.
I have other news on the side, but it's already a lot of news at once so I'll let you digest it all.
Good night and see you soon!

Graphic resources of the month

Published by Suisei at 21/08/2018 à 15h45

Hello !

As promised, today I announce a new bonus content that you can get on Tipeee and Patreon at the end of the month ! =D

This content is the graphic resources.
As explained on Tipeee and Patreon, I create my own graphic resources to improve my productivity when I draw my comic pages. It can be brushes especially for Clip Studio Paint or reusable patterns in the form of high resolution image files.

This month, I propose a pack of brushes for Clip Studio Paint that I use to make silhouettes of foliage, their border more exactly. There are exactly 36 of them with different leaf sizes and line thicknesses, whites, blacks and blacks with white borders. These brushes will be accompanied by some examples of use themselves reusable as screens to make backgrounds on your drawings or comic pages for example.

I made these brushes from pieces of drawings I made by hand.

I used these brushes during my last live session on Twitch.

In addition to these brushes and screentones, I will also deliver 2 pages of my personal colour chart for Promarkers pens. If you use these tools yourself it can help you reproduce certain effects without wasting time with thousands of tests.

In this month's pack: skin, brown and warm greys.

The complete resource pack will be delivered to all patrons who have taken the Graphic artist pack or more.

That's all for today.
Have a nice day and see you soon! =D

Tutorial of the month

Published by Suisei at 17/08/2018 à 15h45

Hello, everybody!

Now I have returned from holidays and the pages Tipeee and Patreon are launched, it is time to tell you about the bonus content and how I will manage it.

By bonus content I mean all additional content in addition to the comic Space Wizard McKcarell: HQ scans of monthly illustrations, tutorials, graphic resources and goodies (ex-libris and holocards).

All these bonuses will be delivered at the end of the month, when the contributions have been validated definitively.
The physical rewards will be sent by post to their owners and the digital rewards will be sent by email or made available for download on a password-protected area of my website.

The rest of the month, while waiting for delivery, I will post public news (they will be posted in a little tight time frame this month) to announce the bonus content, which will allow you to know in advance what will be delivered and modify your contribution according to what interests you before its validation.

Well, today, we're going to talk about a first content: the tutorial of the month!

This month, I will explain how to convert a black and white image (a grayscale image) to a transparency level image. Basically, the whiter a pixel is on the original image, the more transparent it will be on the final image. I will explain this for 4 different softwares! Photoshop (CS6), The Gimp, Affinity Photo and Clip Studio Paint!
This tuto will be delivered to all patrons who have taken the reward Backstage or more.

That's all for today. I will quickly reveal the contents of the other bonuses.

Good weekend to you all! =D
