It’s done! Not necessarily to my satisfaction, but it’s done nonetheless. Oh, except for a cover. Don’t rush me! Click on the first page and then use your arrow keys to read. Well, I’ll work on the cover tomorrow, and then see if I can print out few copies. I’ll offer some more thoughts on the comic creating experience when I’m a bit less sleepy.
Just some proof that I’m still working. I think I’ve gone to my last Christmas party this year, so this weekend will be a terrific time to put this thing to bed.
Got a corny idea for a Christmas card involving a pengin. Here’s the initial sketch.
Digital inking has its advantages. For instance, I can use different layers to experiment with different elements, and I’m less anxious about inking freehand, as I did with these background characters.
I should just be finishing this, but I guess experimenting with comic inking isn’t the worst form of procrastination. A lot of comic book artists who still work with ink do their pages on 11"x17" paper. Among the advantages: little imperfections disappear when shrunk down to print size, and the larger the scale, the easier it is to manipulate a brush or brush pen. So anyway, working on a sheet of 8.
