Description
Yeah, uploading to dA on a Friday. It sure is a full life. But where I am there's little else to do but hole up in the AC and wait out the oppressive heat. So yeah, this was the next spread.Here we see Major Tom Rucker in the throes of a nervous breakdown, and Major Sarah Bronniford undergoing emergency skin graft surgery in an underground bunker. This probably all seems very obscure and horrible, so to read how it got this way, I recommend starting from the beginning over at my comic's website [link] There are of course all kinds of little things I wish I'd done differently on these pages, but this was the best balance I could find between making my deadline and making it as good as I can. I resist the urge to touch up too often as it can really get out of hand and prevent me moving forward, but I might actually make a couple of corrections here and there and then repost this later. But for now, not.

I'm learning to let go the urge to touch up constantly myself. Great page update

Hah! Yeah, I'm currently succumbing to that urge and reworking all the art from the first two chapters. I claim that I'm limiting myself to "touching up" but in true novellistic fashion, fully two thirds of the novel will likely bear no resemblance to the previous version, except in layout and general "feel." The funny thing is, I kind of feel good about it so far.

@ Arioch (who posted here, but then it inexplicably disappeared) Thanks! I began laying out two pages at once in the last chapter and it really helped my layouts, I think. The story flows much better page to page. And actually it's a real benefit of the digital format that I can do this easily. When I was using boards, like in Chapter 1, the size would have been prohibitive, and making them all match up page to page so cleanly was next to impossible.

I really do like the compositions of these wide pages.
