Lim is one of the most original, versatile fanartists I know, keen to experiment. This here is a woodcut-like Photoshop manip, with a sorta art nouveau look that blends well with the ancient script that's used as background. Cool effect, and the result looks gorgeous.
Well, I finished another comic page. But it's the one that has the epilogue. It's usually at this stage of a comic that my plan to work chronologically flies out the window.
speaking of comic, I bought #7 of Angel - After the Fall, because I heard that my two absolute favorite characters (after Angel) are in it: Kate and Connor meet over fighting demons in post-apocalyptic L.A... I love that idea! And now I really wish someone would write that fanfic, because the comic was little more than setup and only good to whet the appetite.
Also, the artwork... I've seen worse, but really, I've seen better. The line art was all over the place. At least the layout was okay (unlike that of the Wesley story in the same book...) Three different artists altogether, and the only artwork in this issue I thought was good was that on the very first and last page.
Anyway, yeah, so is this the setup, is there more to come? If so, worth buying? I don't really want to pay several Euro for so little story and mediocre artwork like this one so the next issues would have to offer more.
Though it wasn't all bad. I liked the characterizations, and Connor's 'No, really, I can fight' cracked me up. [eta: and actually, my problems with the inkwork aside, the likenesses are good, much better than in most tie-ins I've read.] There's potential there. But I think a good fic writer could take it much farther than the guys at IDW. IMHO :P
On Wednesday there's going to be an tour at the botanical garden to watch the Queen of the Night blossom. I'm kind of excited. :) I've never seen one before. I just hope the queen keeps to the schedule. Good timing that there's gonna be no French class this Wednesday, due to Pentecost.
For the same reason, all the Xerox places will be closed tomorrow. That's less fortunate timing. That puts a crink in my work schedule... I'd totally forgotten about this holiday and I can't do the color work I need to do without being able to print my drawings onto the watercolor paper.

I always loose track of the holidays that change dates as well. And with Pentecost in particular you don't even get any commercial warning, like nobody sells chocolate doves or anything.

LOL. True.
I lose track of all the holidays, even those with fixed dates. With the exception of Christmas, which would be impossible to ignore if one tried. A rock that big ain't exist...
