"Fireworks"



Another bit of progress...
I'm working on the title page now and trying to decide if I should go a multiple panel route as opposed to my usual full-page image featuring the title logo. I think I've got the text semi-realized now so I'm wondering if I should deviate from the obvious intro style that I've always favored in the past...

We'll have to see...

"The End is nigh..."



Yup... it's finished, folks (the main story proper anyway...)!

I still need a frontspiece for the title page, but I'm actually thinking of doing a small painting for that while I'm waiting for Rick to catch up on the Inks. It'll keep me busy during the off-time when I'm not working on my new teaching resumes.

I'm fairly pleased with the last full-page image... it's kinda a pin-up at this point... but I figure that it can't hurt.
I'll be posting more of the transition panels before slapping up the final page...

Here's the final sequence from flashback to initial set-up...

Enjoy...

"Running to stand still..."



I'm almost done now with the new transitional page I had to add before moving to the final image... and I'm quite relieved with the results. I'll try to post a few of the panels in the next day or so and see what sort of feedback it garners... if any.

I'm not really sure why I even bother... I suppose that I am a bit starved for reaction from my peers. Lately, I've isolated myself a bit from those whom I once shared an artistic exchange... for many reasons... none of them particularly weighty or significant.
For lack of a better venue, I guess that this place is as good a spot as any to pick up random criticism...

I want to start attending the SVA Alumni Life Drawing classes being offered at my alma mater... but I just feel that I have to at least completely finish the pencils of the story proper before engaging in another potentially distracting aesthetic venture.
At least that's what I keep telling myself...

My God... I'll be 40 in February...
