finally….

Well, I've finally finished something off. How's about that then.

..and once I get this post done, and email the work to old Gio Spinella, I can liberate my hard drive of all the jpegs, psd's and various other stuff that has been cluttering it up for ages.

It's been quite useful to examine exactly why it has taken me so long to get it finished - sure, there has been that constant distraction of having to go to work and that, and true that as I've been on leave for the last couple of weeks I have managed to get the thing finished. But the question that I'm asking myself is "why has it taken so long?".

There are a few answers. The main one being stuff like this.....

Which is a selection of some of the many many many attempts to try and get sorted out a space ship which featured in the strip. As seen in panels 5, 7 and 8 (from page 1) and  2,3 and 5 (from page 3)

I had reams and reams of scribbles and designs at various stages of completion for those damned ships – why? Don’t know is the answer, just one of those cul-de-sacs that I find myself in quite a lot, constantly beggaring around.

 

Contrasted to this one….

Which is the opening panel from page one, which is supposed to be this cargo ship thing, that I just drew. Yes, no design sheets for this one – just straight onto the board and think that it came out much better (and easier) than the design of the other one.

 

So all in all – lesson learnt, just do it. Rather than buggering around – just get it done.

 

Hell, may as well post everything else hadn’t I? Here’s page one, and a character sheet for the professor character.
