Sorry about the past couple weeks, I should be on a more regular update schedule soon. Something better than bi-weekly at least :P
I tried 3 times to do the middle panel as this fancy shot down the alley, showing off booths and shops on both sides. Unfortunately, since this is a curved alley, the perspective nearly drove me insane. Just more proof that's something I need to work on.
Ah well, I kinda like what came out instead. Though it really would have made more sense had I gotten the establishing shot done first. As it is, it gives the feeling of this being just a bunch of stalls, and that's not what you'll be seeing in the next few.
Part of the slowness lately is also due to me spending a good deal of time hammering out things for the next project. Yes, it's way early, but some things need to be dealt with now so the details can slow cook. I laid out the major timeline and plot points for the first third of the series, and have just started to really figure out what the skeletons are gonna look like for the other two. Seeing it all laid out in sequence for the first time was pretty rockin'. Up till now this has been a total mess of notes and thoughts, and a lot of it was in contradictory order. Hammering all the pieces into place brought up things I hadn't thought of before, and has really been eating up my time as new ideas keep popping up.
This series is really nothing like RP in most respects, but I don't think that's gonna be much of a problem once you see it. It's been my baby far longer than this strip has, and it's really going to show.
Back to work!
