I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I’d chime in on where I am with the new comic. I’ve finished the first ten pages (five spreads), three of which are already posted to the site. I’ve faced some unique challenges with this book; first, I’m not used to drawing this large. Everything in this book is huge! In my last comic, I was known to pack 7-10 panels per page with detailed backgrounds galore. With Aurorae, I’m doing the exact opposite. No spread (two pages) has more than ten panels combined and most sit somewhere between four and six... View Article

I figure that nobody cares about a comic with less than ten pages available so there’s no reason for me to post any of those pages until I have enough content to fill at least five minutes of reading. But that doesn’t mean I can’t post previews. I started work on the comic a few days ago after several weeks of preparation and thought it’d be kind of cool to show the first (real)... View Article

My process (coloring)

Brock Beauchamp

For Aurorae, I wanted to use a coloring style that is unlike “standard” comic book coloring. I wanted an emotive, loose, oil-based look that strays away from the typical cel-shading you see in these types of graphic novels. I also wanted to avoid the gradient-heavy look in most modern mainstream (ie. Marvel/DC) books, as it doesn’t fit the look and feel I want for Aurorae. My goal is to make this book feel different than most comics in as many ways as I can while keeping production time within reason (there are plenty of cool ideas I have that could... View Article
