Pencils, inks, and panels... and now letters:

I'm lettering Time Log similar to my Super Haters webcomic in that I'm using square word balloons. I dunno how well this is gonna go over... but I like it!!!

I may be the first person ever who suffered a lettering-related injury the other day when I pulled my back something fierce from lettering without proper chair support. It was nightmarish for all of last Saturday, but I pulled through and continued to forge ahead on the Time Log one-shot.

First the pencils and then the inks and now... the panels???

Yeah, I decided to try something different with this book and add all the panels during the production phase. Here's how they look:

Was it worth it? You be the judge. Me personally, I think it looks pretty damn good!

Anyway, I wanted to have this post up two days ago, but beautiful art takes time. Thusly, be back in two days soon to see a lettered version of this page!!!

Two days ago, I shared the pencils to a page from my upcoming comic book, Time Log. Today I'd like to share my inks for that very same page:

To ink Shawn's pencils, I decided to play it safe and work on a blueline copy of his original art. Then I scanned it in on the "lineart" setting using a large Mustek A3 scanner and... VOILA! INKY!!!

Obviously, something looks a bit messy here, and that's because I decided not to ink Shawn's panel lines when I was doing this book. He's got a very fluid, animated look to his work and I thought that would contrast well with super-straight panel lines laid out in Photoshop.

Thusly, be back in two days to check out this page with its panels!!!
