Completion be thy name
I finally finished the inks on the Rose Red and Snow White graphic short story. I skipped out on doing the different chapter title pages so (and because) it's only twenty pages. I still need to add the heavy inks to some of Snow's hair and some guy's suit, but aside from that: DONE.
I mean finished. Completed. Mission accomplished. There is not another page to ink.
It's a pretty good feeling to have that under my belt. I mean, I still want to add the words and word balloons, but that can be done at work on PhotoShop not necessarily tied to my drawing table. Although, I'm thinking I might want to rescan in everything at 600 dpi before getting into everything, just to make sure it's print quality (in case I want to submit it to somewhere, the files are already at that dpi). But honestly, that's only a small amount of tinkering. It takes me maybe half an hour to slap on borders and balloons and stuff.
What I'm really excited about is, now that I've cleared the deck, I can focus on the Small Press Idol contest. It's a contest to submit and develop an idea for publishing a 4-issue limited series. I've been putting some thought into it, and while I have a lot of interesting ideas, I think the one mostly to be able to consume 96 pages of story is.... DOMESTIC VILLAINY!
What can I say? I'm both excited and terrified at the idea of expanding on the worlds of Dr. Destructo, Dash MacPherson and everyone else. The first step, however, is creating a fabulous, eye-catching, can't-resist-picking-up cover...
CRAP!
