I know this makes you all sad, but due to recent events, future scripts, secret projects, and my inexplicable desire to draw complicated things, I just can’t push forward with the Mon/Thurs schedule while retaining my sanity. I think that todays comic (which will probably be a day late) will show you why… but to sum it up: I’m shifting my focus in this extra time on drawing a better comic which focuses on more details and which is actually a bit bigger than the usual strips (more frames and taller).
I’ve basically jammed out a new working schedule that will give me a bit more freetime to play videogames, sleep, and maybe socialize a bit, and I think all of those things will be good for not just myself, but for the comics as well. The new schedule will basically take what I’ve been frantically doing in two or three days, and spreading it out over 5 or 6. This way I can write and sketch the next comic Tuesday. Resketch elements and start inking Wednesday. Spend my sweet time getting the linework the way I want it… and then color, shade, and drop in the text and bubbles late in the week, or even over the weekend.
This should mean a few really awesome things for you: first, that Gleeful Nihilism is up earlier in the morning. Second, that B4B will actually update on time. Third, that I’ll have some time to work on some secret projects I’ve been writing for a while now. And fourth, maybe I’ll finally have time to work on some decent merch and stuff to sell at conventions I have my eye on for 2010.
Thought I’d give you the heads up on all this while it was fresh in my brains, and I’ll add it to the header later this week. Thanks for reading, and hopefully I’ll have the comic up tonight or early tomorrow.
Hey Mark, I loved the POV shots. Keep up the good work.
