THE MAKING OF NECROPOLIS

Concept Statement

Illustrated 4 comic pages and bringing it to life by exporting all assets with different elements on seperated layers into After Effects. The story used is based on Jake Wyatt's web comic series called Necropolis.

On the early stages of the beta comic development several art styles were made (slide on the right) for the client to choose from. This includes character poses, character design (mage character), expression sheets and environment design. After the client picked one particular style a beta comic was then created and was used as a reference image for the final comic and animation. While finalizing the drawings, each elements and objects in each frames were seperated into different layers for it to be animated. The animation portion takes about 2-3 weeks, and an extra couple of days were spent to tweak minor details and composite the entire animation.
