Back from the dead! That’s right, I remembered how this drawing business works and came up with a few new ideas and got them drawn. We’ll see how long it lasts.
His particular comic is about our drive down to Crystal Beach, Texas, where we hung out on the Gulf Coast with my family for a few days. It was a lot of fun, even if the drive seemed to go on forever.
While my last day was yesterday, Michelle’s wasn’t until today, so I had to get up early on my first day of summer break and take her to work. Boo.
Yesterday’s two hour delay turned into an actual snow day for me! Sadly, not for my wife, who I spent an hour driving into work yesterday morning.
I then went home and, yes, took a long-ass nap. It was glorious.
Some people are really, really oblivious.
It’s a murder of crows, yo. The shirt is a pun.
Here’s the finished comic!
As you can see, the comic isn’t quite done, and it’s late and I still have miles to drive tomorrow. So, here’s the rough draft – the blue “pencil” layer – and my basic inks. Still have to fill in the hair and do the shading and all that, add the real dialogue bubbles and text, but at least I don’t leave you hanging like last week. I’ll finish this when I get home in the evening and upload the final product.
On Tuesday, the Wife and I drove 850 miles in 15 hours to visit her aunt and uncle on their farm in Missouri. It was a daunting voyage, to be sure, and for a time we felt we may have to live in the car.
Our three-day weekend suddenly became a four-day weekend, and damned if we even remember where work is anymore.
