I just wanted to do something that was noir in spirit. This was super fun to do, but I don't think I've ever put that much ink down on a page before in my life. I smeared it a few times. I try to fix as many of those mistakes as I can, on the actual artwork, I don't like to fix it in post, but sometimes I have to.

When It came to color, I was torn. I was going to just do pure gray-scale, but then I just heavily muted the colors. Then I skipped the usual shading and just used flat colors, opting to allow the sharp shadow and light I had so meticulously inked, do the talking.

I still feel like I'm really behind, so this week I'm going to get another comic done, and work on the script for the extended story-line. I really miss having that script to work from each week. And I can't publish a second volume until I have a second story-line. I applied for Salt Lake Comic Con in the Fall.

We had some friends over for gaming this past weekend. It was good to sit at the gaming table again. It's been far too long. I'm going to start holding regular game nights again, now that were fairly settled into the new house. I think that will also help get my creative juices flowing a little better. I even wrote a one-shot adventure for Savage Worlds for the inaugural RPG game night, with pre-gen characters and everything! -- After We've played it I'll put it here for all to enjoy.
