Modern family: Addition

Transforming

I paired all of them to work together. Every pair took their page issues as distributed, took bristol papers from their stock, and went to work.

Being overseen by a 5-6 year old seems to have spurred them to do their best and to prove that their merit.

They were now quite fearful that they would become insignificant if all kids these days are as accomplished as this new little boss of theirs.

Every pair that I approached and talked to could tell my extreme familiarity with all the pages which for them meant that I made the artworks myself.

It had to be said that this Dragonball is a  previous world's 1984 Toriyama inspired while the artwork's fluidity is from the 1991 Bone comics.

As such I knew that the lack of edginess and its design was years ahead of time, so it came to no surprise as to why these art people were looking at me with impressed and admired looks.

The unpaired one was out of place but he was tasked with the cover page or the title page. Aside from recreating the original with a fully inked and colored version, I also worked with him to plan out the layout of things.

The cover page is what attracts the buyers to the comic book but it also had other necessities. The book title, the publishing companies name, the pricing, the creators, and all that.

I now had to consider all those as everything was really going into the scale of formalities.

Comic artists practically work with a lot of repeated images that average to about 100 pages and each had a consistent design.

I saw a sketcher or two mess up with the recreation during inking and instead of me worrying to pick up the mess, the sketcher just recreated everything again to satisfactory levels.

It helped that the Toriyama plus Bone design was simple and easy to work with due to its lack of shading complications. The simplistic animation direction of the Japanese had helped in that regard.

The Goku style of one artist was the Goku of all. They each followed my template and this was their advantage against the average comic book professionals. Each prime artist wants to stand out in that field while these not so well known comic artists know the value of conformity.

Even the chosen colorist had much more creativity with the coloring and make their lighting mastery and color combination quite surprising than what I was expecting.

Conclusively, working with these remaining employees is convenient, conducive, and exceedingly better than what I thought of initially.

The employees were now also adapted to the little boss. The kid was quite nitpicky with their minor mishaps but it also made their final product much better.

Before they knew it and when the page colors were drying, the content issue was finished.

Everyone got to know the compiled issue after that and they were quite looking forward to how their work could contribute to the quirky characters as they rush to completely collect the mystical Dragonballs.

When the I revealed that I already have the next 23 issues at bay on the box, they could only hold their breath from being too impressed and from the anticipation.
