On the home straight, one more page to go for the end of the arc, then into Adam’s old nonsense for Wychwolf part 2…. Adam wrote a story for Dom for the 24HCD, and Dom managed to get about 11 pages done, before he gave up, as there was too much “talking talking talking”
We’ll see how the story fairs under new authorship.
Sketched during the Royal wedding, and inked with my trusty old Rotring 0.5 and 0.2 isographs.
I’ve installed photoshop elements on my powerbook now, as I prefer it to CS3, which is quite a discovery… the general view is that CS3 is better, but I just found it needlessly complex for the workflow I’ve got in place. I guess I could re-learn, but there seems little point.
It makes me wonder what other premium items would be worse… I’ve always fancied a bigger tablet or even a Wacom Cintiq, but it might be I’m more suited to the titchy bamboo… it’s certainly portable.
Royal Wedding today means a break from toil and labour and a chance to catch up on story sketching.
There is without doubt an awful lot of utter ar$e talked about almost everything. Luckily a great deal of it is fantastically amusing. When I was looking for image references for the pyramid eye that is found on US currency, and adorning the tomb in the story, it was like hitting a rich seam of glorious lunacy.
I found so many people who are living incarnations of Garth Marenghi, one favourite included the phrasing ”I am very fascinated with this amazing world we call Earth, the Occult, the Paranormal and the Unknown.” which made me laugh an awful lot.
Anyway. Single panel today. Mainly cut a paste, in PS elements (which I still prefer to CS3)
Thinking about getting a cintiq, but it’s a shed load of money.
Have a good week, Rob (Fabulist and Dreamweaver plus artist)
Feeling tired and lazy, hence the outside shot for the strip today.
