crime-noir comic book created by Saurav Mohapatra and Vivek Shinde
Worklog updates
So vivek has fired in some more pages and we are working on a cover concept. I’m going to post two of the cover tries. these are mockups we made to play around with various layouts/compositions and these contain some placeholder content.
Click on the images for higher resolution versions.
as usual do feel free to let us know what you like or don’t like about the two layouts.
Here is a three page preview 🙂 (Strong language and swearing, so not suitable for minors) (click for higer res pages)
In case you were wondering where the updates went, it’s just that we had to keep quiet for the right reasons. Mumbai Confidential has almost found a publisher and the good news is it’ll be released in India first 🙂
So keep your fingers crossed and RSS Readers peeled, for I’m going to make the announcement soon…ish!
When I developed the concept of Mumbai Confidential three years back (This was before Vivek came on board) the most awesome Sid Kotian did some explorations of the concept. Sid signed off the project due to personal reasons/time constraints. Vivek came on board and redid the art from scratch in his own style. This post contains some of Sid’s earlier designs. Maintained here for archival’s sake. 🙂
Here are the inked pages for pages 1 and 2. Sid is not happy with Page 2 (Well looks more than okay to me 🙂 ), but anyways you be the judge.

Here is an art dump of the thumbnails of the first sequence and character concept for Sawant, the bad guy. Sid has done a good job in translating my jumbled notes into a real visual treat. The opening sequence is a shootout between Sawant and Kadam in Dharavi. It’s night and monsoons are lashing Mumabai 🙂 Our two dudes are at it shooting each other… why you ask? 😛 well check out the book when it comes out.
