Omissions.


I really ought to illustrate the pages in order. I just climbed out of bed because I realized I hadn't drawn blood stains on a character's shirt that they receive on an earlier page I hadn't drawn yet. Does thinking about this in bed and then getting up to fix it MaKe Me CrAzY???????

Hrm!

Issue 4 is proving to be much more difficult than 3 was. It doesn't have quite the diversity of settings that are fun to draw.

On the sales front, either they don't update your sales history live, or I haven't sold any yet. :'(

If I don't sell any of these damn comics, what's the point? Artistic fulfillment!?!? Finally realizing a project I've been developing since High School!?!? F that S!

SPOILERZ!!!

Live up to the hype? I dunno.

Page 24


I sketched Page 24 first because I was really excited with what the last panel of the issue is. It is hands down the best panel of the series and possibly the best image I've ever sketched without any source material. So much so that I intend to jump ahead and ink it before I get to work on any other pages. This is THE panel that sums up what 'Night of the Silhouette' is really about and is of the character I've been waiting to draw since the get go. It's mega spoilery, but none the less I will probably be posting it tomorrow, or later tonight if I really move fast.

This is the night!


I finished Night of the Silhouette #4's script, where we finally arrive at the titular night. Surprisingly I didn't run to 28 pages like I was expecting, the dialogue scenes went faster than normal. I even ended up with 3 pages I had to fill in (have to do pages as multiples of 4 because it's staple bound and I don't want to make filler). I thought of adding in to the fight scene that cover the first half of the issue, but instead came up with a 3 page scene at the end that is now a pretty definitive moment in the story. It's a much more prominent introduction than I had originally written for a character that really needs to arrive with a bang.

But more importantly, there's a new poll >

Be sure to fill that out. I'm split minded on which title I like best. Want news on when the first three issues will be available? Ha ha, you're funny.

Surprising twists


So I got a response from Comixpress when I complained on their facebook page saying that summer is their busy season and that's why it has been taking so long. That would make more sense if I hadn't tried to add the first issue back in march...

But they also said they've added me to their priority list now, and it should be up shortly.

Elsewhere, I finished Issue 3 and am working on the Issue 4 script. Looks like due to major action sequence, it may end up longer than anticipated. Probably around 28 pages despite my initial plan for 20. Better that than forcing too much content into too few pages.
