Introduction
An introduction from Jeromy Cox. 
Opening Page
Before we start the page, it’s good to take some time to familiarize Jeromy’s work area and what goes into his thought process before he begins a page. 
Theory, Tools and Composition
Additional tools and composition theory are discussed as we begin the project. 
Cut and Grad Technique pt 1
The Cut and Gradient Technique is akin to the traditional method of painting using an airbrush with friskets. Isolating shapes of light as it passes across three dimensional figures and objects. 
Cut and Grad Technique pt 2
Part 2 of the Cut and Gradient Technique 
Background and Midground
Using the same Cut and Gradient Technique, we render the mid ground and background in a similar fashion. 
Special Effects- smoke and fire
To add more depth, we enhance the separation of the background from the foreground by knocking out line work and add atmosphere to the image by rendering a glow on the fire. 
Special Effects- additional line work
Knocking out more line work in detail. 
Dramatic Lighting 1)
Moving on to the first and second panels, we continue the same process but pay close attention to dramatic lighting. This features the main protagonist. 
Dramatic Lighting 2
We continue the same process but pay close attention to dramatic lighting. This is a comic book about Vampire Pirates, after all. 
>Dramatic Lighting 3
Continuing the same process paying close attention to dramatic lighting. 
Textured surfaces and foreground protagonist
Learn different techniques to render rock textures. This scenes features some of our protagonists, so we pay more attention to their details. 
Separating Background
Again, knocking out the line work adds depth to the image and makes the background recede. 
Softer Rendering- Female
This mid ground character is one of our main villains, so we place more attention to detail and render her softer than the rest of her Vampyrate compatriots. 
Overview and corrections
Near completion, we zoom out to see how the whole page looks and determine which areas are important to improve or fix. 
Closing Thoughts
Jeromy gives some final thoughts and resources for further learning.
