Description
Yup, I pulled out all my old pages and sketchbooks and took a picture, just to see what happened. It was fun looking at the veeery first concept pictures for GOTF. (in the black sketchbook farthest to the right) I also found the title, "Ghosts of the Future", written in an old list of story title ideas I'd forgotten about. Huh. So I guess the name came first.It's a bit sad that my life's work for the last two years amounts to a mess in the rec room. but anyway... I'm almost to 100 pages!(not counting covers & extras; with them, I'm there) Awesome!
Hey, my house matches DeviantART, lol.

You sent me one of your sketches, too... albeit the commissioned one I asked for. You know, you didn't have to send me your original drawing. That's an awesome gesture of you.

Ha ha! I've got a room FULL of pages! *SHOT* XXD
Nah in reality probably a closet full of files and scrap paper - (see I was environmentally friendly to be useing scarp paper from my sister's accounting firm office to draw all of SA2 Fan Comic - except for the later pages! XXD)
Thanks for sharing this photo of your remarkable real life pieces of the artwork archives... It's nice to see the real deal once in a while!
I didn't realise that you ink your pages via Adobe photoshop! XD
There is however one inked page that sticks out like a soar thumb on that photo - could it be the one of Shadow and the dragon in Shadow Underground?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, all these pages are GOTF. I think the one you're talking about it is Issue 5: Page 22. It's upside-down for some reason. [link] You can see half of Sonic in the picture.

Ah right cool.
Yeah I knew majority was GOFT material.

Congratulations on reaching or about to reach-a 100 pages. Your comic was one of the bests comics that I've read in awhile. I've read and admired and lust(mostly about Silver) since I've found it. Your my inspiration for me staying in the arts. I'm no longer drawing on deviantART since I'm well into my academic career in studing my animation major. Right now I'm working on my final classical animation project which has to be 48 drawings displaying animation prinicples. Please keep up the ultra awesome work.

EDIT : Minus the '100' pages achievement (which is staggering. o_o; I remember reading the first four pages posted up, when you just started...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
... Iiiii'm still impressed. o_o; (and are those plushies I spy?)
How weird does it feel looking through your old sketches? Personally, when I do, a majority seem cringe-worthy, and others seem like a style was going somewhere and developing, but then it changed.
So you do start off traditionally. I was wondering if you were doing everything on tablet, but I guess you start with pencils and inks, still.
Huh. This is an interesting thing to post up. 
What's the occasion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do all the pages in pencil before scanning them in to be inked digitally. And sometimes, I break out the 'ol brushes and inks and do those by hand too. You can see Issue 5: Page 22 on the left side inked traditionally. (It's upside-down, though. Whoops).
No occasion, I did it because did one for Midnight Swing, and it looked like fun.
Those are mah Silver plushies. the one on the right I made last summer, and the other was made for me. His hands glow in the dark and keep me up at night.

I see it.
Maybe I should give that a shot come my graduation...
Yeah, I saw those, too. I really like the concept - can't wait until she finally gets up and running with it. ^^
(Why were glow-in-the-dark plushies invented?)
