Here’s the first page of PFS, which I wasn’t very happy about:
So yesterday I redrew the whole thing. Removed more than half of the characters, tightened the whole thing up. Started inking it tonight:
Time to make a sandwich, so will finish it and the final missing page…tomorrow maybe. (Photos taken with webcam, so they are kind of awful.)
Thumbnails, inked border and text, full size rough drawing in progress.
The SVA class has been over for weeks, but on Monday I told myself I’d finish this by today. And I did. Now I can enjoy 5 hours of Lost finale and pizza.
The assignment here was to do a 10×15 comic featuring no images. Only words, sound effects, borders. And there should be some reason why the panels are blank. So, a snowstorm, being blind, etc. Here’s mine:
It could be called “Know Your Enemy” but since it’s about water, perhaps “H2O Your Enemy”.
Read more to see some process/workup.

This is going to have to be reduced to 6 or less Pantone colors, but I wanted to put it together before bed. All vector, in a similar style/work flow to the bird experiments. With the lightbox, I drew taco-cat as a bunch of different parts, that will be layered together in Illustrator. So the body is 3 little drawings, the front of the face is ~4, some parts for the taco filling, the back of the shell, the crown, the starburst thing, and the ground. I was pretty excited with how this was looking, so I couldn’t sleep without posting it somewhere.
Off to read American Elf. Good night!
Another week, another woot competition. This week the theme is palindromes. After a couple pages of sketches, this little guy appeared all of the sudden:
This is TACO CAT. (To the left is an idea for an orc riding on a giant crow – CROW ORC)
I thought this was a really awesome idea, and cute enough (plus: an animal!) for Woot. So, I drew it some more, trying to come up with something that felt right.
In the end, I think this TACO CAT is almost 100 times better than PIZZA DOG (seen below on an old page with old gnomes and such).
