It’s been a while, I know… but at least there’s a new comic up, huh?
This particular comic is a bit of a departure from my previous work. In the past, I’ve worked almost exclusively on a wacom cintiq monitor (not that beauty in the link there though… Mine’s about 5 years old.) There are a lot of benefits to working digitally on a cintiq, but the one negative is that it’s not even remotely portable, so to work on comics, I have to be home, at the cintiq. In this comic, only the two panels in the top right were done on a cintiq. The other panels were all done on my new ipad. The obvious advantage to working on an ipad being that I can take it anywhere and work on my comic at any time with no mess what so ever. I’m hoping that as I familiarize myself with this new tool and experiment with different workflows, it’ll help me speed up my production schedule at least a little bit, so I can finish this thing before I die.
Only time will tell though.
Good to see a follow-up. Yeah the only problem with throwing your shovel (or any other weapon), is if it hits (or misses), they’ve got your weapon, and your hand is empty. Good thing about the CS shovel, and the rock– no moving parts to break!
great stuff, love your comic. The life and movement you put into your panels is awe inspiring. Has a feel of Calvin and Hobbes with lots of blood…ha
I bookmarked this page. I’ll be back for more. Keep’em coming.
