Pfew, this page was WORK! I was on it until 3AM this night, did another 3hrs this morning. But it’s DONE! I wish you happy celebrations 🙂
I’m going to take a break for two weeks to make time for family & friends and return a bit refreshed!
——————
The page with the most panels in the comic had to be an action sequence^^ – here’s what I have so far.
Well, it’s been a while since I could hold the weekly release schedule. I really don’t like this, but at the same time don’t want to undermine page quality. So, for the time being let’s say that the official release rythm is every two weeks – and if some pages are quicker to make, it will build a buffer. (hopes)
So, why do pages take longer lately? There are several reasons. One of them is that we’re at the beginning of a new arc and I’m setting it up as carefuly as possible, resulting in more details, or me spending more time figuring out layout, or new characters/places/type of scene I’m not used to, correcting multiple times maybe. Also, I rest less during the week (paid work) and so am slower and more tired at the end of it, while doing the page. Finally, I think there’s momentum. Not being able to release weekly means I become less fluent in drawing the pages, hesitate more, and so on.
I’m setting up things with my classes to try and gain more financial stability, it’s taking time, and I have to be careful to not let the means overpower the end, but if it takes off things should become easier 🙂
In the meantime, enjoy this raw pencilwork 🙂
