As the comic becomes more and more complex (and I use the term “complex” very loosely) it requires a lot more effort to push through the idea that I have onto paper, so to speak. Because of this, it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain quality on a black background. The white lines on black background worked very well when the line work was minimal, but white is so much easier to work with now.
In addition, I started adding color. This is just to make it easier to express depth and relate importance to things that I think require it. I will probably keep this format for some time, as I already see a difference in the quality and “lookability,” if I may make up a word for a second here. Things seem to pop more from the background, and I guarantee that there will be far less feeling of not knowing what an object is or where it is in relation to the characters.
I know at least two of you have asked what the new update schedule is, and the answer to that is every Tuesday and Friday. I know I was going three times a week for a while, but I’m just trying to be as realistic as possible with my time.
Pretty sure Raiders of the Lost Ark is where I learned, “See something rattling in the bushes? KILL IT WITH FIRE.”
