Sorry that this is kind of a "filler" picture rather than an actual strip - I've been having some personal difficulties lately, and it's been affecting a lot of what I do, particularly the comic. I used to be in advance by three months; now I'm drawing the strips the night before they're due to go up, so I hope you can bear with me. As it is, I've been doing some experimenting with altering the artwork, and I thought I'd give you a look. I've been modeling my revisions on the work of the excellent Jeph Jacques in his strip Questionable Content (note: his strip is R-rated) - I'm not trying to out-do him by any means (just as well, because I'm not really succeeding), but I wanted to try to move in a different direction with the artwork. I hope you'll let me know what you think (my email address is on the Links/Contact page), even given that the revisions are very much in the early stages. But even now, there's a significant difference from what I've done before... Penny's got actual curves in this one! Still, her eyes and fingers are much too large for my liking. Still a long way to go before I can get a consistent sort of result - but to be fair to myself, I think it took Jeph somewhere around 500 strips, drawn daily, for him to get to the artwork he liked. |
