October turned out to be a bit of a surprise – Three more books in the works and a publisher who wants them! I’m slightly amazed at the level of ignorance displayed by the ohsocoolandnotterriblyrealistic
posse when it came to supporting the work but begrudgary tends to be a fruitful opponent so the next years worth of projects should be the best yet.
Detail is on my mind – A LOT – the devil (whom I’m pretty sure is merely an imaginary construct invented as part of a wider effort to keep the likes of you and your mucky little thoughts in line) really is in there.
And detail is something I’ve skimped on over the years. Identifying ones weaknesses is the first step to overcoming them and hopefully I’ll address mine. Firstly no more skating! Every line in every panel is there to serve the story. I’ve been too wrapped up in character building recently to focus on story and my works suffering as a result. If you see anything remotely flabby in the next few strips from myself you’ve full permission to call me out on it.
Secondly less concept more plot – sounds simple – let’s hope it is.
Let’s keep a close eye on this one too.
Finally………take every opportunity to find learnings in everything I read / see / do.
Oh December - You're going to ruin me.
