Finally finished penciling* this. And I can show the whole thing because it's all mostly dialogue and doesn't show anything important. *Penciling being laying it out and drawing with light blue colored pencil. Now on to the arduous task of drawing/tracing with a real pencil. Which will hopefully have just as much detail, but with more refinement and cleaner line work. We'll see, I guess. Here's the background for panel 1. I started drawing backgrounds and gestures on transparencies then lightboxing them to save the paper's lifespan. I'm using super cheap comic boards and they don't take too kindly to erasing and erasing and erasing. This saves me from making holes and helps reduce clutter from panels so I can draw people and objects without worrying about accidentally erasing important lines of the background, or vice versa.

And it looks pretty decent framed. And related, this year Staci got me probably the best gift ever- VanderHuge dice.

The deadline came and I still had no reply from the company, so I had to order from a different printer. The second time I ordered 6x9's. I spent the same both times, which started out with a few 11x17's, but converts to a crap-load of smaller ones. I never really cared about making money from them, they were just for fun, but I figure I'll put them online sooner or later. Because I got a bunch left. I also gave some leftovers as presents this year. And to their credit, the first printer I used that messed up game me a refund. I actually used them a second time because they're pretty well known and I correctly assumed that this really was some sort of one in a million fluke. And it was, the second order was a good batch. Next thing I post will probly be the second, unrelated, correctly printed
