  I draw slow! =PJul 03, 2010 4:29 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:"Wait"...for next week, when hopefully I don't have so many distractions and can get more comics done! =p
 
I suppose I'm also slowing down a bit because I want to raise the quality level of the artwork. For a while there I was holding steady at about 3-4 pages per day (usually the 4s would be Mon and Wed when I don't go to the gym and thus have more time to sit and draw :D), but now that I've gotten pickier about the final images it seems to be more like 2 a day. I think in theory I can maybe get out 3 a day on a full uninterrupted Monday or Wednesday if I'm not caught up doing something else. Gotta work on that. ;)
 
Hopefully you've noticed the artwork being a teensy weensy bit more developed of late, though! (Or at least might be persuaded to think you've noticed it, now that I've mentioned it. LOOK DEEPLY INTO MY EYES!~~) I guess my goal has been to bring it closer to the quality level of my one-page-per-week Princess and the Giant. Those pages though, which are a little less than twice the size of an A* page, have been taking me something along the lines of 8-12 hours each lately! 8o I know that seems ridiculous, I guess I've just got into this odd drawing method where I actually sorta try to avoid following a structured scheme that would speed things up--like creating figures from stick men or simple geometric forms, for instance; instead, I just sort of build up and shave down blobs of black and white until they start looking like I want them to. It's fun, but kind of slow, at least if I really want a polished-looking final result. Buuut hopefully it at least looks different than most any other art you'll find out there... I do like to be different. :)
