Day 9 of The Concord Initiative storytime!

I absolutely adore henchmen. The problem is that they usually go down very easy. Henchmen are an oppressed group, used as power fantasy fodder, but I intend to give them the respect they deserve!

Day 9 of The Concord Initiative storytime!

This ~12 page fight scene took 3 months to finish, and it will take readers less than 5 minutes to read through. I make great fight scenes, but damn. Creators, understand this: consumers do not see the process; they see product.

Day 8 of The Concord Initiative storytime!

I really hate the first two pages, here. Definitely in dire need of total reworking. This also really brings to light the lighting/shadow problems I had early on. The soft brush is murderously ugly, and I was so sloppy with it...

Day 7 of The Concord Initiative storytime!

There was a serious clutter problem on the latter two pages. I learned what is probably one of the cardinal lessons of writing--9 times out of 10, say less. Words are precious. Choose them wisely.

Storytime! Once upon a time, I was asked to draw Micro from the Punisher show, but everyone thought his sandwich was a dick. Soooooo, then I drew Frank.

Foxy Friday! We do love a fox in Storytime and this one is rather lovely, though it discovers the meaning of the phrase 'sour grapes' in Issue 61's fable. A fun lesson for kids, with art by Martina Rotondo 😍

Day 5 of The Concord Initiative storytime!

Like many characters in this comic, Astreides's nose seems to grow and shrink at will. I realized around this point that I had a Pinocchio problem--every character's nose was long and pointed. We fixed that... mostly.

Day 4 of Concord Initiative Storytime!

Quite a few rough faces here, but the biggest regret is making such a great potential panel in the 4th page here so small--the raining scene could have been tremendous.

It's also amazing just how much dialogue you can cut.
