This will be the last update while I'm out of the country. I'll be flying back to America Wednesday, and through the miricle of tme travel (or time zones, I get those mixed up sometimes I'll manage to arrive in Arizona the same day despite spending nearly 24 hours in transit. Oh how I wish I could allow one of my ancestors to take my place and experience this miricle of the future in my place.

I didn't get as many comics up while gone as I hoped, but I'm still glad to have been able to work on and put something online while I've been gone rather than put out 6 weeks of silence. I really can't wait to get back to using pencils and pens though. There are definite benefits to an all digital medium, but I miss the feel of the pen and the soothing nature of the million pen strokes that go into a background that just is not replicated with stylus and screen.

I'm also just getting fed up somehow with not having to pay attention to details. I can pretty much lay down things in any order I like so it's easy to just add in things like the bomb at the last minute, and that just feels wrong somehow. Like I really don't have to consider the full composition when I'm starting out.

And in large part I end up taking advanage of that since penciling out the full image in all it's details is still tricky even at the triple resolution I generally have been working at. Since my pencil line is just a mess of pixels, particularly if I zoom in, it's hard to sort out what's going on in busy areas where there might be swords, necks, bombs, rocks, cuts, and feet for example.
