peach tones and comic process thoughts (Patreon)

Well gang, this was one of those weeks where nothing went quite right. A lot of delays and last minute hiccups on my SFW stuff and then a bunch of technical issues(never install a new drivers in the middle of a project) meant basically no progress on the comic, which is frustrating, all I managed was these de-stressing, for fun sketches. 

I did realize something that's getting me stuck about the Gibson comic so far is that while it's only in b/w, the hatching style is different than my normal process and I am hyper aware of how a little bit of uncertainty can make me freeze up. No matter how experienced I become, I still find that little uncertainties add up to procrastination or just frustration and wasted effort.

So, in order to make sure I can keep moving ahead without second guessing myself along the way I'm going to treat the pages in a two step process. 1. Line art and 2. Shading.

It will be a bit more like the way I normally work that way, with line first and color or tone second, which is comfy and familiar, AND you'll be able to see more sooner. 

It's not elegant but I'm more concerned about achieving the goal of finishing the comic in March than I am about looking clumsy along the way. There's no real way to hide the fact that I don't know what I'm doing most of the time ^^;

That's the best solution I think I can come up with to insure that you all have a bundle of pages to see before the end of the month (which is coming up fast, yikes). I want to set output goals every month that are easy for me to achieve and fun for you to watch or be involved with too.

Thank you as always for your immense patience and support of my work!
