Description Here's hoping people actually read this. I know it's huge, hahaha, but I thought it would be better to compile the first part into one big hunk instead of in pages.

This was a test, more or less. It was to see what I could do in like...two days. It was a comic warm up practice, more or less.

In any case, it's in the Without Void universe but before everything goes down. It's Carol and his roomie Carter on some sort of road trip and having adventures along the way because everything BAD HAPPENS on road trips. You and I know. Mmmhmmm. We're in the loop. *nods sagely*

Anyway, the coloring is lazy but was intended to be a quick way to color so it's all flats really but hopefully it's fun to look at anyways.

Carol is so sensitive.

Carol & Carter (c) me

PS: Working on judging the Nine Levels and commissions so worry not! Thanks again for all your participation and support! You guys seriously rock. I can't say it enough. For stheriousth folksth.

Ugh I cannot even describe how much I love everything about this <33333333

I love the bickering and the expressions and the colors and the mood and the story afsdlkfj 8D <33333 Can't wait for more!!

p.s. The simple coloring is fab, the colors are bright and interesting together, and the accents on the figures and the gradients on the BGs make it dynamic and fun. :]

Looking great! The colouring is simple but you make it really work. Expressions and posture are a great as always, and I still dig the way you do gore. Also your lettering is killer. Looking forward to more!

I actually like the colours. They work on a horror comic. At first I thought the other dude, Carter, was a touch too sensitive, but then I remembered those character sheets you did and it's nice you've got characters with this kind of depth.

Oh, Carol, you rascal!

Yeah, I'm thinking that if you were to continue this the door should definitely be locked...

Anyway, I did read the whole strip and yes, it was very long.

I like how the corpse isn't that gruesome.

God, I love this.

Was this done entirely digitally, or did you plot out the pages on paper first?

Either way, this is really well done. Even the flat coloring really compliments the whole thing, thanks to the slight gradients and little bits of red.
