Wow. Big thanks to Tracy Butler of
http://www.lackadaisycats.com/
. She`s got a series of art process pages which don`t go into great detail but have helped me tremendously. Seriously, setting my linework layer mode to “multiply” instead of “normal” has made a huge difference. Oh, and her art just simply blows me away. Plus, I like the era and the story style. I can`t recommend her work enough — It has helped me realize quite a few things, which I will be working on improving. Go today. Send her an e-mail and tell her that her work is awesome.
I originally wanted to take this to the female character feeling like she was trapped in the house playing games all day, so work was to give her purpose beyond the house. It was a tie-in to a few days back when I pulled that Thoreau quote (one of maybe half a dozen out-of-context quotes I use) out of my…brown paper bag of out-of-context quotes. I couldn`t tie it together, so I went this way. Hopefully it was a cheap laugh. It`s not what I wanted, and I set this arc up for this, but it`ll work. I hope I covered up my lack of writing ability pretty well.
