next grOw/cOmic to be a GTS story.

The previews for issue 2 begin with this sneak peak of page 19 (which is the first page of issue 2). This page took a little longer than I thought it would, as I was dealing with some "real life" work, as well as getting used to the new Adobe Creative Suite CS6 upgrade that I just switched to a week ago. Enjoy! It's now on to page 20...

I made really good progress today, completing the second page of the second issue ? page 20. This page was an easier page, and thus, I was able to pump it out just 1 day after the last. The next page, however, may take a bit more, as it is noticeably more complicated. Enjoy!

75thparellel: Sorry. Not yet. I working hard on the issue to get it out as soon as possible, though! Hang in there!

Taking extra time due to its complexities, multiple panels, and numerous facial expressions, page 21 is now complete! This was a great page to work on, with lots of angles and close-ups of certain... ahem... fun parts! I think the preview says it all. Enjoy!

Uhhh uhhh yes! Just out of curiousity will she grow large enough to burst out of the building? Or can you not give it away yet haha.

I'm more curious about the other girl's predicament. If I were a more capable artist, I would volunteer to do a side story =D

Whoot! Another day, another page! I was able to pump out page 22 in only one day, getting a second preview to this post in as many days. The next page won't be so quick, as it is a much more detailed page. Until then, enjoy the newest preview, which is the color version of a pencil preview shown earlier for this issue.

75thparellel: Well, without giving away any specific details, I would scroll back up this post to pahe 1, post#11 for some info on that subject.

JBird: An interesting idea. I will have to ponder it. I will also have to get the "permission" of said people that that couple is based on. DeviantArt, anyone?

...I see what you did there =D

Oh you sly devil. Well played indeed.

Whew! This last page was a detailed one, but I was finally able to complete it, and can now present the preview for page 23. The more people in a scene (especially if their faces are shown), plus the more panels on a page, can all add up to more time needed to finish. Faces require much more detail, and that detail also takes extra care to craft properly. This page had 10 bodies and 8 faces.

Enjoy the preview! And to my U.S. readers, enjoy the Memorial Day holiday weekend!

Now that looks like a nice ass! lol

Well, it took a while as compared to the last few pages, but I was finally able to finish page 24. A number of things caused the completion of this latest page to take longer, including: the Memorial Day weekend, "real life" work, some red tape with my website host, and the fact that this page is quite complicated in terms of detail, faces, overlapping of items, and background integration. The "overlapping of items" refers to instances such as (but not limited to) when the main girl has torn clothing (which may overlap other body parts), may be wearing tight clothing (in which skin may overlap), and hair. When you have these areas of overlap, it takes more time to isolate and mask these areas so that they can be colored. Plus, just the fact that there are more "area to color" takes longer as well.
