(New) Schedule

After deciding 100% to do a comic, I realised that I would have to work very quickly, and that my schedule might need re-arranging. Since I have a decent amount of writing done for my essay so far, I don't feel too worried about putting it to the side for a little while, but that will mean that December will mean a lot of buckling down and getting the writing done.


November will be spent completely on my practical to get it done in time for the exhibition. I have a left a few days at the end in case there are some delays, and if not then I have enough time to create some physical copies of the comic. If that doesn't happen, I can use tablets to show my comic digitally instead.

The two parts that I want to concentrate on the most are the script and the penciling, or rough panel/layout work. Those are going to be the most effective and important parts to proving my point and creating impact with my story. It is possible I could get help with the colouring and inks once that is done (although for now I will take it as though I have to do everything 100% on my own just in case). The cover will come last, and if everything has gone well, will hopefully be very enjoyable and less stressful. I have included the events I plan to go to so that I am aware of when I will be busy; other than that, I am aiming to make as few plans as possible so that I have time to do all of this.

I have coded everything in order of priority since some parts may be more tempting to work on at times, but could slow the whole project down. The most important stages are in red, and I have tried to make sure that no red sections overlap so that I know exactly what to be concentrating on. In yellow are the 'quite, but not completely important' parts - it would be nice to work on them alongside the read things, and definitely if I finish the red early, but aren't to be my first priority. The green sections are parts that I should do, but can't interfere with anything else - if I'm really stuck for time, I'll just do them as fast as I can when I need them to be done. I've never drawn many backgrounds from different angles before, so I am better off keeping them as simple as possible anyway. Hopefully this  schedule works out and lets me finish every thing in time - or with time to spare?
