Around the Tree

Got to hang out with my niece and nephew today, plus some good chat time with one of my brothers. It was a good day. Didn't get a lot done (yet), but knocked this out while the kiddos were all playing.

Trying out the white lettering.

Also, added some dialogue. Figuring out if it's a silent comic. I like folks filling in the narrative on their own. Providing a snapshot of dialogue cuts down on the available possibilities. But it also provides at least a little context so folks aren't completely lost.

@hesstoons Hahaha! Ah, sorry, brother. After seeing a couple more, I'm definitely leaning toward black and white. (Especially after I clean up my scanning process to get them a little more uniform)

Potentially with dialogue.

Seeing a couple of them together has me leaning more toward leaving these black and white. I do really love the glowing eyes effect, so I'm gonna play with how to get something I like using the ink/paint.

Man! I'm so torn between the black and white vs color.

Gonna try some white ink or paint effects to see if I can get a glow effect around the eyes I might like.

Added some word balloons. I'm still figuring out if it's a silent comic.

Did a little lunchtime coloring pass on that Kid piece. Figuring out and playing around with how I might combine the traditional ink and wash with digital coloring, and exactly how much of that I might want to do. I'm a sucker for black and white art, so we'll see where we land.

But I also really like adding depth to panels. I guess I just need to find more places to add little “Wattersonian” backgrounds to panels/pages.

Or how about some more trolls? I love painting trolls :)

@GrelotsLagriffe This will be the layout/design of the actual Trade cover! I love it. Plus, I get to put my super sweet quote from Jeff Smith on there :)
