Totem Journals

Currently finished colouring 9 pages of the comic, just adding the text and working out how to place bubbles so they'd make the most sense. I used to think that was the EASY part....but it's acutually alot harder than I first thought...for one thing I seem to have waaaay too much text on some pages......If only I were rich enough to employ minions to do it for me........mmmm......minions.....

Currently on page 8....forest imagery has been tatooed to my inner eyelids....

Scary Trees...

Behold 3d models of over priced British Transport! (Models done with google sketch-up and jpgs imported in to PS for colouring)

People on a bus for page 3:

My neighbors are outside paving their driveway...And I have this -thing- about when to say hello to people and how many times a day to say it. I've already said it once today so is it weird to say it more than once? Should you say hello to your neighbors everytime you leave your house, if they're out in their garden? Or should you just nothing and risk looking like an icy snob....There's always that 3rd possibility of saying something other than hello to people....but that small talk you make with people whom you known for ages but aren't exactly friends with, or have anything in common with (aside from living proximity) always feels like fingers on a chalk board to me...I suppose think of something gloriously witty to say but I'm not good at witty on demand.....It comes out as a verbal twitch......I'm convinced the amount of anxiety I've built up around this issue is surely a sign of some kind of social phobia.....@_@

On the plus side that does give me something in common with myriad of great artists.....

Natural settings are soooo much nicer to paint than man made ones....

Panels in progress...(colours done with photoshop CS)

I was re-reading some of my original script for the
comic....and I've decided that I really wasn't happy with it, so I'm
starting it again from scratch. Apologies to anyone who was getting
into that story line, but I think the new one is ALOT better. It
makes waaay more logical sense for one. So yeah...I've pencilled out
about 12 pages of it so far and all I have to do is colour
them....Apologies for the long break...there will be new stuff up
soon!
