So it turns out that the last time I sat down to write some strip scripts, I didn’t get as far as I thought I had. So when I went to draw my strips this weekend, I realized I had no scripts left. No problem, just write some more. Well, I had some trouble writing the next couple of strips for reasons I’ll go into in a couple of weeks when the events I’ve just written actually show up on the site and I don’t have to be ambiguous so as not to ruin what’s coming up. I didn’t get much beyond those strips either, so I’m going to find myself in a similar situation fairly soon, unless I get my ideas straight and get back to writing.
I’m really digging the steampunk mash-ups. I think I’m putting out some of my strongest stuff yet. Which I suppose is good, because I’d hate to be regressing.
You may have noticed a slight change in the Funnies. The characters no longer have stick arms and legs (or tails in some cases). It’s something I thought I’d try in one strip and once I realized it didn’t totally ruin or complicate everything, I decided I’d continue. I’m more comfortable switching brush sizes in a given panel as well and this week’s strips had me playing around with angles. I can see real progress in my drawing.
My biggest challenge right now is staying consistent with sizes and being able to judge how big I can make one character so that all the other characters will fit in a given panel. I end up having to cheat because of the disparity of sizes between the characters. I’m okay with a little cheating though…so long as I never draw Zoë and Barnaby the same size in the same panel.
I added Tomaw’s entry in the characters section on Friday. It had been a while since I’d written an Ardebast journal entry. I’ve got to get back to doing that.
Okay, so that’s all for today. I wanna get some Tomb Raider in tonight. Have a good week y’all!
