Birthday Funtimes and Sense of Duty
Went down to the pub after work with the boys. They thought'd be hilarious to get me a Muff Dive Shot seeing as it was my birthday and all. When I bent my head down to pick up the shot, I chipped my front tooth on the shot glass! That kinda shit is cool when your, like, 18 and all - but I'm getting too old to be explaining to my dentist that I've chipped my tooth doing birthday shots!
In other birthday related news - My horoscope today said that "This year presents a great opportunity to start those projects that require patience". Thought that was funny because I've just wrapped up the concept/storyboard phase of a 50 panel Merlin comic that's going to take up a good portion of my springtime!
Which leads me to another story - last night I grabbed the 16 pages of storyboards I have for this 50 panel project, intent on scanning them to my computer to start laying down some basic sketches. I put page 1 on the scanner bed, and my scanner kicks the bucket!
In other news - New art!
Merlin takes a crossbow bolt for Arthur.
Back when I was researching "The Bear Trap", I came across a few other scenes from Due South that could crossover. I knew I wanted to use this one from season 1's "The Wild Bunch".
I originally had it taking place in the jail cell like on the show, but as Dief's silence is forced, Merlin's is not. I couldn't imagine him NOT responding to Arthur pouring his heart out - so I whumped him good! I'm such a sucker for character peril. LOL!
Got lots of practice doing blood with this one. Arthur's expression in the last panel gets me every time.
