Happy Birthday Wensleydale!
Happy Birthday Wensleydale!
A little early, but posting this since she has already received it. :D A short, contextless comic, oh so very NWS. Takes place a day or two after the scene that was comicked last Christmas.
Plotty stuff here, Florian is agreeing to help Edmund with some schemes.
Man, every time Florian has funsexytimes with Edmund, Benedict is stuck fighting Edmund's minions.
I decided not to use a ruler at all, since I really hated measuring panels last time and it took me a lot of time. I felt a bit like I was drawing the same panel over and over, but it is a panel I quite enjoy. I think I learned a lot drawing this. The process of composing comic pages still feels difficult and mysterious, especially conveying motion. I decided to think of it like editing, which may have improved the end here.
Tools: 95% Pentel Pocket Brush pen, with microns for the text bubbles and sometimes small details or faces when I didn't feel I was controlling the brush pen well-enough, and occasionally some Zebra sign pens for the same reason. Switched from regular pencil to light blue lead, since that doesn't show as much after I erase it.
