The Trolls of Orleans -- Page 2

Again, I apologize if you looked at that last page before I fixed it (with the yelling and sound effects). I updated it as quickly as I could.
I finally finished drawing up my contribution to the 2011 Drunk Duck
Awards. I’m doing the “Best Adventure Comic” award. So hopefully I can
get back to building up a buffer of pages for the Bluenoser as I just
finished this one last night. And I have to admit, I was rushing it
quite a bit. Having that one panel take up over half the page helps, as
do the speed lines, but laying it out to show the people and the trolls
running past the Bluenoser in a slightly more dynamic fashion than I
usually do was a bit more time consuming.
And I completely missed that I have gone over 50 pages (or maybe I realized it at some point but forgot again). And I still have plenty of ideas to get me through at least 100. But we'll see if that happens.
One last thing, I didn't realize that the reason nothing's being done on the Duck is because WOWIO's waiting for there to be enough money to make it worthwhile. That's not a good sign. So as a reminder, if the Duck dies suddenly and you would like to continue reading the Bluenoser I do have a mirror site set up at http://bluenoser.darrellferguson.com
