This is pretty much going to be something I will do in whatever spare time I have. It'll have priority right after The List (speaking of which, I should work on that some more ).
Essentially this is my 24 hour comic challenge I started, but did not end up finishing. I came up with a story but when I was doing this in the challenge, I put more detail what I'd usually do in these 24 hour comic challenges. I plotted, thumbnailed and nib pen inked this fuckers. I didn't finish it, though. In fact I managed to crank out 4 pages (lackluster, sure, but are those pages pretty). Rather than letting it just languish, I decided to finish it and space the story out with more pages.
Does this require a mature content rating? I guess not, because there is no showing of genitalia. Anything horrific or confronting doesn't count. What a fucking joke this rating system is. This is supposed to be a place for art.
It's crazy-go-nuts and I like it. Great hatching! I don't think I could even attempt a 24 hour comic, for one b/c I couldn't stay up that long, and for two I wouldn't be confident enough with a page I did in an hour. For three I'd spend too much time eating and going to the bathroom to make good time on anything.

Thanks. Hatching is double edged though. Hatching looks trite if you don't consider composition too much. That's not a font. I wrote that with brush. It does look a little too bunched up on low res. I might have to redo it for the final cover version. Partiularly the 'c' & 'u' are too close together. I couldn't pick it at high res, but when shrunk down, you notice it. It's a problem because when you look at the cover far away that's how it would appear as well. Thanks for bringing it up. Btw: It should read "Incunabula"

Ah cheers. The imagery took a while to work out, even if the idea and composition was done pretty damn quickly. I had an idea of how it was possible, but even drawing the thumbnail took longer. Goes to show that some of the best ideas come by almost instantly.

Lawl. Pfft. 24 hrs is nothing, . Though I don't recommend you do it often. Once a year is plenty. It's not necessary to do 24 pages in the time, you can do 8 if you really want to. The idea is not to produce immaculate work. It's to push you to spontaneously do work. You'd be surprised how much you learn when you have to think of a story on the spot and commit to making a comic of it in 24 hrs. I do it mainly because of the learning and experimentation. I've mainly done work for a GN working from a script. For me, the approach is fairly standard, but it's most effective. I stretch my comiking in the 24 hr challenge (and my own projects). Give it a shot. I think the US one is coming up soon. Get some comiking buddies to do it too. I find company really motivating, it might be for you as well (or it could be distracting, but it's all good. It's for fun more than anything).

I love it when good ideas just pop into your head out of nowhere. I could see how this would have been to render. Were the babies hard to do? I find children a good bit more difficult to draw than adults.

One thing though that's a horrible font. I've tried to read the title 5 times and I still can't work it out! Inwqdbola?
