I'm on to page three now, and I am already glad of the freedom that being my own writer allows me. I changed the dialouge mid page, and just went with it from there. I even went in an entirely different visual direction with the page than I had originally planned because it made more sense that way. I don't know what it is, but i am much more comfortable working this way. Included under the cut is a snippet of page three, the words modified.

Just a two panel scribble, trying to plan out an upcoming scene ( sort of , to the extent that you can  plan something without context)

Also, an excuse to see the protagonist use classic gangster speak ~_^

Practing the facial expressions of the main character - I think she looks best when she's annoyed. You can draw your own conclusions about the first one. I need to practice my low angles alot more

( Cut for Sketches )

 

Alright, so I didn't always want to be a web comic artist - I certainly read enough of the suckers to know that these guys do a lot of work, some of them even make money off it ( though I don't think that I could get to the fame of Ghalager of Megatokyo ) But, heck that would be nice.

Nope, I never wanted to be one, but everyone kept insisting that web comics and I were destined to be together. Then This happened: 

   
 

" This" was connected to an entire gritty, assassination plot storyline which we had toyed around with. This now had to happen as a comic. The main character had been drawn, and I'd put my name by her feet. She didn't have a face, she didn't have appropriately proportioned clothing , but she had a hat, two guns, a killer personality (Literally) and she had a storyline. Production immediately began with character sketches, of which the number keeps growing.

My struggle with this blog will be how much do I keep secret and how much goes public before we publish the comic on line. Because of the nature of the plot, revealing too much will be dangerous - but to not tease at all is no fun. As it is I'd like to post up bits of the comic process as I get through them.

Comic Status: 10 pages complete.
