Part 2 – Chapter 4 – Page 3 – Red Moon Rising – a steampunk fantasy webcomic

🙂

—In the ongoing saga that is my health, I’m pleased to say I’m mostly feeling better! I think working on this page cheered me up a lot.

And the dirt is gone! —Ah, British ad jokes. Anyway, turns out I was a massive liar last week when I said I was feeling better. A massive liar. I’m off to go sleep until Monday.

Stood up. Awkward. —Wow, this page was a pain. Not due to the page itself, but I came down with a cold about halfway through the week, just as I was starting work on this, and had to slog through it to get the damn thing done approximately on time. Somewhat annoyingly, I started to feel better just as I finished up. Ughhh Edit: I forgot to mention I dropped my tablet on my foot while working on this. How about that dedication to the craft, eh?

Landed! So now what? —Not much buzz on the page this week, though I did have a very good time drawing it! Ugh, I love colours so much. Getting all that green in there was quite satisfying.

Nailed it! Or… they only crashed a little bit, at least. —So I started a print store on Society6 ages ago without really mentioning it to anyone, and they’re doing free worldwide shipping for the next couple of days, so feel free to check it out! There’s only a few different prints up at the moment, but I’m looking to expand it a bit soon. If there are any panels from the archive you’d like to see as a future print, let me know!

TOOT TOOT MAKE WAY FOR AIRSHIP —Hey, New Zealand readers! Some of my good friends are trying to kickstart a board game café in Auckland, and I would kill for something like this in Dundee, so please do check it out because hell yes, board games and cake.

Mixing things up a bit for the cover this time round, I couldn’t really get this image out of my head. I have to say, one of the unexpected upsides of getting the cintiq is being able to use a normal plastic ruler while I’m drawing digitally now. That probably sounds really stupid, but man is it good.
