Another deadline slain. \o/.
This book took AGES to color. Or it felt like ages, anyway. For pencil/ink/color time I calculate sketches x 2, which usually gets me a pretty accurate estimate. This book sketched itself insanely fast, but I guess there's only so much time you can shave off the final work, and coloring is still largely gruntwork. But, it's done. All that's left is to do a continuity check in a day or so, and scan the whole bunch.
Now I have a whole week off (provided I don't catch the roomie's cold virus that's currently ricocheting off the walls of this apartment.) Tomorrow I'll go to the sauna first thing. And do some clothes shopping before the stuff I'm wearing starts falling apart at the seams. And clean the apartment which is in a state that's... well, right now I wouldn't let my dad visit, that's for sure. We're warning our friends before they enter. It's like several layers of chaos. I'm actually looking forward to cleaning up the mess - I like cleaning when I'm relaxed and got plenty of time. I think I will perform the Ritual Post-Deadline Cleaning of the Desk right now. :)
I have a few books coming out this month and next, so, picspam. Wild mix of topics. ( original book illustrations behind the cut )
This blog now returns to regular programming. I didn't get to do any fanart lately, but I hope I'll have something to post soonish.
linkage: Very Short Stories
33 writers. 5 designers. 6-word science fiction.
Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves.
