Second Proof

Printed a new proof and tackled it in the early Saturday hours. I wanted to sleep, but it called to me. Called me lazy. I couldn't let that go unanswered. 

 There's a 60-year leap between panels on this page. We move around a bit in this one.

I put sticky notes on the right side of pages for edits and a note on the left-hand side for pages that need new artwork -- panels or entire pages. I don't have many of those, and I knew they were necessary. Only found a few instances of panels I discovered simply don't work. The temptation to redo art throughout is strong, but I would never stop. I have this dread of carrying the project around my neck for years. Remember Michael Douglas in Wonder Boys, carrying around a printed manuscript the size of a cinder block? That. I don't want that.

I've begun work on the next Heroes of Sinclair story too, and that will become my focus before long. I feel the call of superheroes again. It's been a few years.

Working on the Graphic Novel

 The next OUTSKIRTS story is still chugging along. 110ish pages of comic work. Here's the notes on my first draft after I mark lettering corrections, script revisions and art fixes.

And here's an early page with the layer of blue I'm thinking of using throughout the comic.

This was going to be done in June. I clearly had no idea how much work this would be. But I find myself at home a lot more these days with lots of time to work it up.
