Hey, lookit (Charlie Brown), it’s a new strip. I actually thought I wouldn’t be able to get something up by dawn this Friday morning, but in the end some stuff came together and I imagined to produce something that doesn’t entirely suck.
I actually started this strip on Tuesday, doing the layout and what not. I then discovered that I was working at far, far too low a resolution for the sort of “pencil drawing” thing I’m going for, so I had to redo that. Then I was kinda faked out by the fact that my inkjet printer doesn’t handle printing line-art very well (I’m gonna have to try it on one of the nice printers at work we use for proofing). Then I had been looking at some resources about printing and realized that if I didn’t adjust the way my images were being arranged, it’s gonna be a super pain if I ever have to print them out in some sort of particular manner. As such, redid the template a bit. That all took so long I figured that I’d have this done 8pm friday *maybe*. As it is, it surprised me. Kinda nice.
Hopefully I’ll be able to iron the kinks out of the particular “pencil brushes” I’m attempting to use, and things will go from there.
See you next week!
