Unmasked - 1:20

Oh hey, 20th page. What's up?

I had a lot of fun with this page, too. As we're starting to progress towards the plot more, characters are getting more animated and interesting to draw, and I'm starting to get a feel for what needs to go where on the paper. There's a certain symmetry to the page that needs to be conserved so it doesn't look messy, but then the page also needs to pull the reader in and be entertaining. The more I experiment the more fun it gets, so in the future there's going to be some different looking pages from what I've done before. Page 20 is sort of my first.

I was also recently inspired by a graphic novel called Koko Be Good by Jen Wang. It's amazing and you should read it.

ALSO, because I haven't done enough writing on this post, this Sunday's post will be a bit different from my usual. It's not going to be a page, so make sure to check back! Bwheheh...

That's all for now, thanks for being awesome!

Dear O.P.,
I'm sorry you're hopeless at talking to girls. But you can't be good at everything.
Sincerely,
Zoe

I FREAKING LOVE THIS PAGE. Seriously. This was probably the most fun page to do so far. What's better than drawing a bunch of people crazy drunk and partying like hell? As you can see, the Grunge is an all-thieves bar. Errybody be in masks. It's exclusive to the thieving community, and no normal person would go in there because it looks like a run-down shack.

Also, we meet a new character today. I've been waiting for this. Introducing Masquerade, female renegade thief with a lot of charisma and flair. She be pretty fly.

Cover

Well, this is my first post that's not an actual comic page. I hope it doesn't disappoint. I recently acquired a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet and have been going to town, staying up all night and messing around with it. I've been wanting to do a cover for awhile and saved this project for when I got the tablet.

This project was a lot of work, but I love the result. If you can't tell, the characters from left to front are the Businessman, European, Operative, and Masquerade. And the word Unmasked is coming from the European's cigarette.

STAR WARS REFERENCE DURR HURR.

So now we find our three heroes at a dingy, sketchy bar to meet with the mysterious "Scorpion." Will they find him? What does he want? How many cigarettes is the European going to go through? Hopefully all will be answered in due time.

Apologies if you're European. My bad.

Well, this is exciting. We're 15 pages in and the plot's just starting to pick up some speed! A lot of people have asked me how many pages this is going to be, and I have honestly no idea. I write out a script then I block it out page by page - so far it's gone pretty well.

The European is starting to become my favorite character, which is probably bad because I shouldn't show bias, but he's so fun to draw. Just look at that big shnoz.
