(This is literally my seventh time updating this page) wordpress kept crashing on me when I tried to put the non halftone page in. I tried and tried and then finally trashed the whole update. Then tried to start all over and it still didn’t work. Then I realized I was trying to upload a 300 dpi file. Oops.
Anyways, I decided against the halftone for the comic. Thanks for your feedback everyone, it helped. I do like the look of it though, so you will probably see it pop up in some various illustrations.
Halftone?
So I’ve been experimenting heavily with how I color and I also figured out a way to halftone the comic that looks pretty good. I’ve been wanting to try this look for a long time but hadn’t figured out how to make it look right. So I’m posting this version of the page up. I haven’t decided if I’m going to continue on in this style or stick with the regular version. I may end up posting the original later. What do you all think? Interested to hear your opinions.
This page feels heavily inspired by Gastrophobia. I felt like I should draw Jackie flying off the page in the last panel.
Anyways, it’s time to get back to the action >=D
Poor Eddie. So timid and unassuming… and Dian is, well… She’s er– how should I put this. Aggressive. Jackie Rose to the rescue.
(( In case you’re wondering, there is no update today. I got behind with the last page, so I’m just going to get back on schedule with Thursday’s update. I used to try and play catch up, but then I always end up behind every time. I would rather just skip a day and get back ahead of the game. Still trying to get my comic schedule adjusted around my crazy work schedule! ))
I decided to go ahead and post the pencils for today’s page. This is one of the few pages I’ve drawn and actually cracked myself up. Looking forward to drawing the rest of the pages in this scene =D
Really like how the expressions came out in this page. I had a lot of fun working on this on ustream and chatting with readers. I’ve been putting my ustream up on the site lately as well as posting a link to it in my twitter feed. If you follow me on twitter you will get live updates on when I’m streaming as well as my other ramblings. Just click on the big twitter icon on the right side of the page and it will take you to my feed!
Something to leave you with before I head off to San Diego. Who can name them all first? One of them is obvious and you don’t get any points for her. If you get her wrong, you lose points though.

This page was a BEAST to draw. Took me forever and a half.
I saw Inception this week and OH MY GOSH. It melted my brain. Absolutely one of the best movies I’ve seen for as long as I can remember. Go see it!
Now it’s time to make with the pre-San Diego preparations. So excited!
