Nothing to say, really — I just read an article on superheated water and somehow belly button lint popped in to my head. If I can say anything, it`s that NOTHING is worthless in your quest for ideas. Take in everything you can. You never know where a bad idea will come from.
I fell really short on the middle panel, but I had to draw it. I had this in mind and I was really excited about it. I want to do more landscapes and I want to push my skills with shading and color mixing. I learned a lot in doing this, of course, and it was fun, but it still looks terrible. Plus, it makes the bookend panels look even worse.
Happy New Year! I originally wanted to draw this twice as tall, with the top row being a door five times, getting larger and larger, all angles, as it someone was running towards it in a panic. Then I decided I would do it digitally — That`s a lot of black ink to drop on paper and I don`t have a way to do that conveniently. Then, I decided the strip stood on its own. Which is good, because it`s getting late and I have to work tomorrow.
