What’s this? Mel running away from some guards? A cat on the roof with a rope? Another page focused on Drake? No way! 😮

YAY!! Spring Break is next week and I can’t wait to just lay low for a whole week. Hopefully I’ll get some comic pages done ahead of time during next week.

Come May I’ll be gone for about a month down in Costa Rica. I won’t have the ability to post pages down there so hopefully I’ll have a nice buffer built up by then, or I’ll reach the end of chapter 2 and call for a short break ^^;

Wow!! 50 Pages!!!!!

For awhile it felt like I’d never get here, but it’s here alright. I’m officially “over the hill.” You know what they say, it’s all downhill from here…oh wait maybe that’s just with age or something X3

On this week’s page we finally get to see how Drake has been handling by himself. Well it looks like he’s good for something at least 😛

Wow, this page…Remember when I mentioned something about drawing too many small characters per panel on a previous page? Yeah, well this page kinda destroyed that…

I recently realized that most of my humor (whether it is funny or not is up to you) is pretty physical, requiring more visual imagery instead of actual funny lines. This means I have to actually “illustrate” them more than “tell” them.

Also my markers all dried up and I had to use very messy sharpies to finish the page… 🙁

Drunken Guards Assemble!! X3

Anyways messed around with the layout for this page for quite a while before landing on this final design.

Quick question: Do you guys like my “sketchy” shading? I began using it around when my comic started taking place at night so that I could create a darker more dynamic source of light. Eventually I obviously plan on making another comic page that will take place during the day, and I was curious if you guys had a preference?

Now we get to learn a little about this character that Dayton inconveniently bumped into last page :3

Also that overhead panel was super tricky to draw >.<

Sorry about getting this one done late. Hope it was worth the wait! 😀

Great, just what our characters needed. And just when they thought they were home free…

Oh hey there Ryke! Haven’t seen you in what feels like forever 😛

Gosh this page… It took forever to get done.

The finished product doesn’t even resemble the original mockup I made. I was really pleased with how the perspective came out on some of these panels. It was also really fun to do a page mostly devoted to movement and few actual word bubbles :3

Poor Levi…He couldn’t even make one page before he was landed upon by another falling Mel :3

Thankfully it looks like he ain’t too upset this time.

Gosh! These poses and motions were really hard to draw for this page o_O

And they finally emerge from the tunnels. Well now that I’ve spent some time on practicing tunnels and passageways for backgrounds, I have to get back to drawing cities…

Well, I’m back to slaving away at college once more. This also means I’m back to using the college scanners, for better or worse.

On today’s page I take another shot at the action scene. I still have a lot of improvement to accomplish, but I feel that I am learning. ^^
