While this page was a lot of fun to do
and I learned a lot doing it, such as what all I need to plan out to
panel a page before I scan it in instead of moving everything into
position after, it did take over 9 hours to make. Part of this was
learning new stuff such as the paneling and working with the new
character (his head is shaped oddly and I like it but I don't have a
perfect model for it yet). The rest of it was due to the fact that
there is a lot on this page. Beyond the fire and sharks there are 8
people I had to draw and color where I started with only 4 in the
beginning pages. I am always trying to stretch my self as an artist
but that means as a get better and faster I do more and never really
seem to have enough time to do a second page. I already have to take
a few breaks to rest my hand and defrazzle my self on top of the 9
hour project like this. I am going to try and not bite off more then
I can chew in the next couple of pages, though the plot I have planed
out for chapter 2 is already more complex then it was in chapter 1.

ps i wrote this while the duck was done a while ago.  every page since this post has been in color, and while one or two wern't incredably complex overall i failed at trying to not bite off more then i could chew.
