It took me a long time to be satisfied with the pacing in this one, and satisfied may be too strong a word. Let’s pretend I went with “accept” instead of “satisfied with”. I do like how the middle and especially last panels came out, most particularly the linework on the house. I’ve started adding some flourishes when using the brush, and I’m finally getting a sense of how to properly adjust the ink in the reservoir. There’s still a lot to learn there, but it’s helping make the linework better reflect what I’m trying to convey.
However, I did intend to throw the lobster in at the foot of the bed, and just forgot. Repeatedly. I’ll see if I can’t sneak him in soon.
