Reader question
I received an art related question from Fen over on tumblr. It was a good question so I thought I could share my answer for it here too!
“Your screentones always look so good! How do you avoid the moire effect?”
I think the reason the effect doesn't happen much with my strips is because my screentone pattern is quite big, and because I usually keep it pretty faint.
I do it this way mostly because it's a taste-thing, but I did have it in mind a little bit when I decided the look of the strip.
I see the moire effect a lot more when people do the opposite (lots of tight little dots and high contrast). That bothers me sometimes.
Thank you Fen!
Space Deer: Then & Now - 50% OFF!
I originally came up with Space Deer 10 years ago. But they looked quite different back then. This is a PDF collection of all the old comics and a bunch of old, new and unreleased sketches. There’s plenty of notes to accompany it all.
Normally this costs 5$, but right now you can get it 50% off! The sale ends Sunday this week (that’s November 3rd)!
I also made a bundle so you can get it with Empty Planet. A short graphic novel I made at the age of 16. I made this comic right before I came up with that first version of Space Deer.
It doesn’t quite hold up to Space Deer today but might be interesting if you wanna see some of my earliest steps towards what I’m doing here today.
Purchasing something is also great way to support me in this!
