Extreme Close-up Action!

I was putting some pieces together in Photoshop today and super-enlarged one image. It looked kinda cool and different with the texture of the paper and all, so I took a screen shot.

In other news, I may be a bit slower with the posts for the next 6 weeks or so. I fell prey to an impulse for a little thing called "income".

process

I've recently changed the process I use to get the page laid out, and it might seem like a bit "duh" but it took me this long to figure out that this is the best way to do it. Ok so I am a late bloomer.

Before, I was doing it panel by panel, looking at Kumari's description of each panel and then drawing it out and hoping for the best when it came to fitting it all on the page. Most of the time there were some spacial discrepancies.

So I finally wised up and started making a full size mockup of the whole page first, using a combo of sketches and printouts from Google Sketchup. Since then, no more surprises when it comes time to fitting the final watercolor panels together! And no more important parts getting chopped off by the borders.

Over the Hump

As of this post, we are over halfway done with Issue One. It's just like running a footrace, so they say---on your workouts, if you can go halfway you can go all the way come race day. At least that's how I am trying to look at it. Only I'm sort of the tortoise on this venture it seems sometimes!

Anyway here's page 15.

Hand lettering take 2

New and with a Micron pen! (I think that's what Mr. Lettering said he was using.) We are shooting for having it all look the way the text looks in the last 2 bubbles. I'm super pleased and hope you all like too.
