File Setup

I've scanned and set up the files in Clip Studio. I've sorted out all the footery stuff - added panel borders, moved around some of the compositions, added a panel here and there and set up the word balloons and caption boxes. 

I'll still be flexible as I work on each page if things need moved around or edited more but at this point I can start penciling.

This is the second time I've been working on the layouts, got to page 12 and been too tired to rough in that fight panel. Better sort that tomorrow!

The Protagonist

Blasius. Happy with him. Might still try some different things with the Roman armour though. The shoulder pad things are quite annoying to draw and get looking good.

Layouts

Here's my rough layouts for the story. The hard part is done! It's mostly drawing from here on out. They'll all definitely be tweaked some once I start penciling. The last ones are pretty rough too. I forced them out when I was needing a break and I was consciously aware that they were turning out a bit worse than the earlier ones - in terms of the layouts and the drawing being more scribbly. I'll make a start on the penciling later this week hopefully and change each page as needed as I work through them.

Demon Concepts

Here's some more final-ish concepts of the demons. They don't appear for 3 or so pages so I can still play around with the designs for a week or so yet but I don't think they will be changing much from this look.
