Encounters 1/22

Your eyes do not deceive you, I did a hand drawn page. Shame I can't colour for toffee. At one point I planned to do this whole story like this. The problem is my colouring is so bad I figure it would drive away what few readers I have.

I uploaded two pages yesterday, one was a page about the Xatorians, the other the cover for this chapter.

What can you look forward to in this chapter? A little intrigue, a little action and… well maybe even learn a bit about a character or two.

Originally this chapter was envisioned as ten pages to act as a little interlude before kicking off the next story which was written before this. The reasoning being that the previous story was such a long drawn out chapter that it drained me and I didn't want to face doing another long one. After a little thought I decided to go the traditional 22 page issue format as it puts things into more manageable chunks. Of course making a 10 page story 22 pages would lead to a very stretched out story, a little like the hobbit movies. So in came other elements… a little like the Hobbit movies… but magically it fit nicely into 22 pages of script. This is the first chapter of Lore that has been fully scripted before starting work on any art.

My usual method is to write the basic plot and note the characters involved. Then I'd write the basic of the scenes involved and key dialogue points and start making pages.
