To be honest, I can't believe that I found the time to sit down and post here in the comments section. This had to be the worst week for both me and Jason, mainly in that his job is often very demanding (sometimes ridiculously so), and I'm almost broke after finding out (after being pulled-over by a state trooper) that I needed to update my car's insurance and registration (I was VERY lucky- I somehow got off with only a warning), which, after jumping thruogh the neccessary hoops at the DMV, set me back about $150, meaning that I'm currently less than $100 from having no money whatsoever, not to mention a bunch of other crazy stuff all happening at once. >:-(
On the plus-side, Jason and I still managed to complete a page this week (which we practically did all in one sitting- something we haven't attempted since we were both still undergraduates), and we've managed to create a page buffer as well, so hopefully we won't miss any more updates too soon.
But enough about us. Let's talk about what you all really came for.
It looks like it's time for us to say goodbye to the talking rock, as Deimos and Jeremy continue their "tour" of St. Gabriel.
Overall, I liked writing all these sequences of how Deimos's perceives the world (the way that certain features assume different colors, and how inanimate objects seem to get his attention by apparently talking to him). You can bet that as the story progresses, we'll be seeing a lot more of these strange "visions."
Jason commented to me that the perspective in the second panel, where we're looking down from an angle, is one of the hardest to draw. And considering how much time that the line-work alone took in that panel (almost 30 minutes), I'm not going to argue with him.
I have to say, when I first finished writing for Chapter 1 in 2005 (which I ultimately went back and changed drastically after finishing several other chapters), my original intention was for this to just be a violent little "hack-and-slash-genre" experiment in writing for graphic novels. By the time I began writing Chapters 2 and 3, however, an entire storyline and series of smaller story-arcs began to take shape, and All Saints gained a life of its own. I've now written almost 20 Chapters of scripts (1200+ pages in word documents, collectively), and I'm still working on this and still enjoying it.
Anyway, that's it for this week's update. What else will be reveiled about or strange hooded indivdual? Tune in next week to find out!
