Slow Going...

As you can see, not much. It's an uphill fight most days to get time to work on the comic. :T

Excuses Excuses right?

Thank you Maya

So... I am a horrible modeler I have no idea what I am doing!!! I spend more time feeling stressed out by it than doing anything else. BUT I made something useful to me. Ugly as all hell but useful!! Thank you Maya!

Behold! A model of Nony's shop! All the extra bits are just... ugly sure but also framing things I couldn't sort out before. And the good news is I didn't have to model it out of foamcore! <3

Hohoho! Piss on you Foamcore!

Damned Backgrounds

Driving me nuts... but I will have a couple of pages pencilled soon - the inking should go pretty fast. I am going to try something different with the coloring (maybe). I know I tend to overthink everything when it comes to comics. I can't be happy with just shitting them out I suppose - If I was I would only do my shitty strips.

Sometimes...

I think I ought to change the look of this place and then I think... No I still like it all eyebleeding. It stands out like a horrifying accident victim amongst all the glossy shiny overly slick blogs out there like it's laying in the street and was mugged of all it's dignity and aesthetic appeal. <3

Not a lot Here

But work proceeds on the comic. Well at times. I am also trying to expand the old GD portfolio. One of which was making in 20 min an official looking form for my brother to hand out to his students. I had to make a logo and a form based on a government agency in a book I never had to read.

Life's funny.

I still hate drawing backgrounds. But I'm always pushing myself with them. It's nice to draw and be bookended by my cats. Especially so I can keep an eye on China who is doing better. Not awesome because - well hard to be awesome with cancer. But she is doing really good all things considered. I am thinking cancer needs to piss off and leave what I have left alone.

I'm pleased with the comic though. I think if I can color it like how I hope to it will look sharp! Stupid me always wanting things to look a certain way and not the same way all the time. Then I would have it so much better just working all the time to perfect one way of doing things.

Ugh!

The Rest of the Thumbnails!

Now to make them into a fullsized blueline and pencil the damn thing! 40 pages! I may up the final book to 80. Which means another story after this one! Just gotta settle on the direction.

Shit I'm no Mike Mignola. And BTW - I would hate to ink one of his pages, I would be scared as shit I would black in a part that SHOULD NOT BE SO!
