Description
Things I like: Winsor McCay's artworkThings I'm not good at: Working with India ink
Things I spent way too much time on: This
Things I have now: A neck-ache
Originally envisioned as the first panel of a Winsor McCay-style comic strip, if Winsor McCay had done comic strips about Team Fortress 2, but I'm starting to think it will be a one-off after all. See above re: working with India ink; having neck-ache.
Drawn and inked by hand; coloured (colour CMYK halftone with intentional registration errors) in Photoshop.

I think this is definitely worth the time you spend on it. Love the McKay look to it.
Great work

This is so cute!
You do have to do more! I like the missed registration marks. It really feels like an old comic panel. Awesome work!

Old-timey aged and off-register CMYK comic colouring is THE ONLY COLOURING I CAN DO :frogsiren: I don't know how all you people make things be coloured so pretty, I just do colouring-book stuff and then run filters on it to make it look like it might be art or something

Aside from this being a nicely framed comic panel, you really got the hand-lettered McCay style font down perfectly.
It is delicious hand-lettering you must eat it!
If at all possible I would like to express my desire for more because I really want to see this unfold. Don't make me beg, I do it very poorly.
PLEASE OWL PLEASE OWL OH GOD PLEASE.
See? Atrocious.
