Production Notes: I have no idea why I decided to start a new chapter only eight pages into the story. I suppose in a way, this is where the story begins and the first chapter is more of a prologue.
I was playing around with the gag-a-day format, and eventually compacted it into something that drives the storyline too, not just either/or. I felt my art slump a little towards the end of this arc in the process, but I think it's helped me refine myself as much as chapter one. The art and format was beginning to become more consistent here.
Most of these pages are going to be completely re-done at some point, and not just the art. The story needs serious editing too. I'll spend some more time fleshing out the beginning and on more serious character development that isn't quite so gag reliant. The Quaternary Park digression would probably have to go too, because it doesn't really fit in with the rest of it. (though Shatner still cracks me up) Maybe I'm being overly harsh on my work, but it's this slight decline that made me bolt down and do some serious improvement.
...though I definitely want to keep the art I did for this chapter page in some form or other. |
