Color Test

The entire comic is in black and white, and will most likely stay that way. But the idea of color is a nice one, and we can't help but wonder what it might look like. So here is an attempt at it, with water colors.

The original:

And the one with color:

Maybe some more of these will be shown.

A Good Day

Today, September 01, 2010,

The last pages have been ReDrawn, edited, touched up, and it is all finally done! It is a good day.

Thank the sun and moon.

Now to add all the final text and sound effects and the book will be complete...

More Fixings

Finally we are nearing the last pages that are being ReDrawn. I'm currently working on page 81, but here is page 78, both its older and its newer self:

Now everyone has eyes, and Owin's got a chair! Subtle changes I suppose.

the Latest ReDraw

Here we have a page that had an implied march of Septimus and his soldiers. They are hinted at, and then appear en masse a few pages later. They needed to be shown as a group before their grande gathering, so I added a new panel. Also, Septimus doesn't walk with his men, but rather rides a chariot contraption. The new establishing shot now better shows this luxury, whereas before it was mostly cropped out.

ReDraws

So we don't want to give away too much more of the plot, which is why there hasn't been anything new for a while now. But what we can share is what has been happening lately: redrawing.

"What do you mean?"

Well, a lot of the older pages needed quite a bit of retouching.

Compare a picture posted in August 09, "Owin and Huath"...

to its newly redrawn goodness.

I guess editing is another way of putting it.

Bonfire

Otso stays behind on the farm with Ma and Pa, and they collect plants to burn several bonfires. If the giant comes towards the house, the smoke from the fires should turn it away.

As the giant roars somewhere in the trees, they stare into the fire, and Pa wonders, "Will this really work?"

The Chase

Pa's concern is obvious. The giant is truly just that. But it doesn't put up a fight, and runs before them.
