Egad, I'm actually working on something I want to make a career of!
It's not a paying job, more of a portfolio-builder, but it's something.
It's a six-page self-contained story with original characters; sothacid and I decided on the story this evening (did we decide how a longer story arc using the same setting would end? OF COURSE WE DID), which I then wrote up and converted to script format, and I just now finished doing the page thumbnails. The actual art will likely take much longer, as aside from the fact that I have to cut the Bristol to proper comic size I'm going to be inking these using my hand-tone method, which will take damn near forever. But it'll look so good when it's finished!
Leaning towards hand-lettering for now, since ideally the only digital work I'd need to do is scan things in and adjust the levels, but this may change. I may draw the speech bubbles separately and add them in in post. Thoughts?
The finished product will probably be PDFed together for ease of portability. Juggling six different image files is annoying.
Oh man, I just realized I'll need to design a logo for a pseudo-cover (I guess copyright stuff goes on the pseudo-back?). Awesome!
