more comic

Just a quick sneak preview before I head to the gym. Page 5, inked but not yet coloured or lettered. Don't click if you want to read the whole comic unspoiled and in the right order. It's just a photo, not a scan, hence the lousy image quality. [eta: replaced with scan]



Goshdarnit, my keyboard switched to qwerty again, seemingly without my doing. Now I can't find the colons and quotation marks. How do I keep doing that_ And where's the question mark_

Looks neat - but going to hold back to really "read" anything till it's finished. At least, I'm going to try to be spoiler-free. Let's see how long that resolution will hold. ;-)

Wise decision. I've started to read WIP again because I'm weak-willed. But unless they're really updated every couple days, I find it hard to keep track of what's going on.

I am so in love with the middle panel. I suspect that's where my icon will come from. :-)

I'm happy with that panel, too. I left that one open until I got back home because I needed photo reference, but once I sat down to finish the page, it clicked into place in just a few minutes.

Do you remember if the scythe on Buffy already had the stake fastened to the other side, like in the comic? I don't have the s7 DVDs, and the few screenshots I found were too dark and blurry to make out details.

I don't remember offhand, and don't have the S7 DVDs. I'll ask, though.

Holy cats, what a great montage! The composition is awesome. And the black spotting is perfect. *takes notes*

Ah, glad you like. I'm pleased with it too. This is one of the pages I pencilled at Comic Con, except I had to wait with the montage until I got home and could dl screen shots. As soon as I found a few suitable ones, the composition was done in less than 10 minutes, I think. I like it when it's this effortless. Of course having direct picture reference makes it a lot easier than drawing from the imagination, at least for me.

Looking Good
