Total project time for #3: 5.5 hours
Total project time for #4: 6.5 hours

I want to build up a buffer of finished comics but I can't seem to churn out more than one a week. I always put it off until Monday because I know I can finish it in 2 days. Anyway, I'm starting to play with variable line width to make my art "less boring". It's difficult to get this by varying the pressure I use on my tablet, so I cheat and simply block in the shape with several strokes (using this tutorial). I think I kind of overdid it, though, but it does look nicer. Next step: shading!

There's no hope left for #1, but starting with #2 I'm going to record the total project time for each comic. This one took about 7 hours in all. I thought that once all the drawing were done, it would only take like half an hour to put everything together, but it took more than an hour. I guess there is a high amount of speech text. There was also a lot of resizing and stroking (because once resized, line widths get thinner).

Starting with #2 we are also using new comic size. #1 was 750 pixels wide and I think that's not big enough. Now it feels a lot more spacious and I have more real estate to work with. I picked some special dimension because I am oh so clever.

I couldn't figure out how to do rants with WCN, so I had to start a blog elsewhere to act as the rant space for COMY. For some reason, comy.blogspot.com has already been taken. WTF? Who uses that? What does that even mean? WTF is a "comy"??? Weirdos! Anyway, so I snagged this one, which should be just as good. It's more typing, but it's not like anyone actually types in urls these days, what with search engines and the latest bookmarking technology. We sure do live in amazing times.
