Once again I spent the entire weekend re-doing the sketchbook for a "The Veligent" kickstarter reward. Sheesh. Why did I think this would be easy? I should know by now.
I have gotten two different proofs of the printed book and I didn't love either of them. This is because I was thinking I could do it cheaply and have the book printed in black and white. Cheap never works. Even after I enhanced the black and white images they still came out -meh- looking.
So now I have re-done the whole thing AGAIN to have it printed in color, so the black is rich black and the pencil drawings look like pencil.
If this doesn't work, I give up!
So, what I am getting around to is the reason I didn't get a new page of Rue day up today! It is being worked on in my head though.
I also got a printed proof of "The Veligent! Very exciting. I promptly filled it full of sticky notes about things I still need to fix, but that's why you get a proof!
I'm plugging along slowly toward the goal of getting a kickstarter going and getting this mess printed!!

Drawing comics, or trying to...
Its April 4, 2023 and I'm still wrangling with page 164 of Rueday. It is giving me a lot of trouble! I have the most trouble with fitting one entire "nugget" of the story onto one page. I really should have made the page format of my Graphic novel larger when I started. Too late now! I also can't draw my own characters.That is kinda weird isn't it?
Spammy stuff in Chat
Hi ! Just a note here to apologize for not responding to the "requests" section on the "new notes" chat feature. There is too much weird spammy stuff on there! I do read the notes that are under "General".
I work totally backwards
Do you have an atypical way that you go about creating comic pages?
REAL comic artists have the dialogue written out exactly, then form the art around it so it fits!! I work totally backwards. It's so stupid! when I do a comic page I do all the art first, then scramble to figure out the words I am going to use from maybe paragraphs of dialogue. Visuals first, then get the words to fit? This is a REALLY dumb, weird, bassackward way to work, but I can't seem to break the habit!
I keep saying to myself .. OK THIS time I will have everything written out and ... and... oh, I don't feel like writing it out now. Later. Here's a cool picture.
Anyw
Welp, maybe next week for page 53!
I find I am much happier with a troublesome page if I let it "soak" for a while.
