This week will be another bonus materials week as I get closer and closer to starting Chapter Two next week. This is intended to give you a peek at old and new characters and their evolution between segments. I'm getting the drawing style closer to how I wanted it to begin with (but was stubbornly trying to do something outside of my comfort zone), so there will be some visual changes. Not the least of the wish is the transition from Adobe Flash to Adobe Photoshop for the "inking" and "shading" portions of the process.
I love coloring these characters. My hope is that eventually I can position things in such a way that I can do five-day-a-week updates in full color, but until I can justify that with more and more readers, I just can't do it. I can do it a step at a time, either going five-days-a-week or full color without the other, but not before the end of Chapter Two. Consistency and all that.
And coloring the strips makes the ghosts more obvious, which is important. Yes, I said ghosts. You think Gary's going to figure out all this ghost stuff on his own? Pfft.
I've got Chapter Two plotted out and halfway outlined. It should be scripted by the end of the week and Monday will provide us part one. Until then, it's daily updates to show you what I'm up to in the meantime. I won't reveal the title or cover of Chapter Two until this coming weekend, so be sure to check in on Saturday or Sunday for that. If you want. I mean, it's okay if you don't. I just…I just get lonely.
