COMIC ILLUSTRATION
(Personal Project)
Mediums
- Pencil and Eraser
- Sketchpad
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe Photoshop
Process
In my medium, I will make comic style digital painting like illustration and comic scenes but any size of canvas.
Sketching - First of all, I will first draw on the sketchbook for sketching a composition, perspective, gesture, and lighting in the traditional way. When I finish rough sketching and clean-up, I scan it and transfer it to Adobe Illustrator so I can ink there.
Inking - I use Adobe Illustrator for inking only because my line becomes straight and not zigzagged. Additionally, I also used Adobe Illustrator because my Adobe Photoshop has a pen pressure problem. When I'm done inking in Adobe Illustrator and exporting as a PNG file, then I'll transfer it to Adobe Photoshop for coloring and rendering.
Coloring - In Adobe Photoshop, I'm here to paint and color without worries about alignment. In this process, I will only find out what should be highlighted and the difference of light colors. Additionally, I also think about the seasons of my illustration such as day, night, foggy, underwater, rainy, or three point lighting scenes.
Rendering - Finally I will paint digitally the elements without lines depending on whether it is solid or not. This is the end process of my comic style digital painting.

Description: In the future, God will come to take all those who believe in Him. They will meet God in the air and be taken to paradise. So they will be saved. In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, believers in God or those who accept Jesus as God and Savior will be caught up and met in the clouds to go to heaven. It is a prophecy that will come to pass and this is where the Church Age will end today. It is called the "Rapture" by many but there is nothing in the Bible to call it that. On this judgment day, all believers and those who obey the will of God will suddenly disappear and their bodies will go to heaven with them. All the belongings that the believers carry will be left in the world, all the vehicles will collide, there will be aircraft that will fall to the ground, there will be objects released by people that will harm people, and many will be injured or have accidents. The people who will be left in this situation are those who do not believe, continue to live in sin, do not take God seriously and those who have not yet come to know the living God. But the people left here still have the hope of being saved by God if they continue to be faithful to God and reject the work of the enemy (Anti-Christ) who will rule this world.

Description: Many angels are mentioned in the Bible even in the New Testament because they are one of the creatures included in God's plan. The angels are spirits that created by God have many purposes until the end of the world and they can be God’s army. Their purposes are that God will command them to: serve the people, deliver a message from God, to praise and serve the living God, fight the war between good and evil, and they will do much of what is mentioned in the book of Revelation. In this illustration, it shows that the Archangel Michael went to Israel to protect and defend the people there according to Daniel 12:1. This verse indicates that it is possible that God will use angels to protect the world, but in Daniel 12: 1 it is only one group (Israel). Not only is Israel protected or defended by the angel but all of us to this day, because we read in Psalm 91:11 that there is an angel who will watch over and guard us wherever we are but there is no term "Guardian Angel'' mentioned in whole book of the Bible. Obviously there is an angel guarding us but the God is still more with us. Angels are also the ones God uses to fight the forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12) and for us not to be separated from God.
In the illustration, the angel is a winged warrior because they are armies of God and there are many in the Bible that other angels have wings. Moreover, the angel in the illustration is wearing a hood and covering his face which means that even if we do not recognize or see them they are with us as a protector. But there is no specific or explicit statement in the Bible as to what angels look like and there are also some in the Bible that angels can take human form and have wings.
