00318: Washed away

I got a bit too carried away with this one. can you tell? There is a very simple reason to why. I drew the page on monday. I didn't feel like drawing, and it looked like a piece of shit. so is aid to myself "screw this, i ink that and colour that it's gona look like a piece of half assed crap" And it really did look aweful. serously aweful. I felt so terrible just for looking at it. it was like "fiona you can sooo do better than that" But it came to today. and i was like "ah i'm soo bored. might as well draw my comic" so i take mr shitty page, and decide i can't be botehred to draw it in pencil again. the poses are too ahrd to gt right. might as well ink it. So i start inking, and thought, eh draw in the background. maybe that'll look better. and then when i get to coloring the background, i think, oooh maybe i'll do my dodge and burn thing. i suck at that anyway, but at elast it'll make this sucky page look better. and then we end up with this monstrocity which took me like since hmm…. 18:15 - 22:30 to complete, so what? 4 hours. which is twice as long as the comic usually takes. I step back and i look at it and i think "wow, for something that looked like a piece of shit this morning it sure looks pretty damn sweet now!" and thats my story
what do people thing of the rain? I was trying out a new rain technique that i picked up from some random tutorial. mainly cause i don't particully like my old one. too blue? do you think i should try it with white rain? maybe i should of made the characters look damper. but i think then i would have been pushing my luck.
So anyways, yes very detailed, hard effort page. woo. what happens next you ask? sit back and wait and find out! cause i'm bound to draw it when i'm bored with nothing better to do! or when i straighten out my priorities. take your pick.
