Time is Taxation

     Well it's done. I'm not going to lie, quality took a dip simply because the time investment was getting out of hand.

    I was going to do a full detail cover page. However, that would take north of 10 hours and frankly I ran out of time/steam.

    I really enjoyed learning to apply drawing to a new medium, as well as trying to apply a research topic to it. I also got a lot of practice drawing cat faces, not sure that's a positive, but I see them when I close my eyes now.

    If I were to do something like this again, I would definitely allot more time for myself. I think if I choose to pursue this as a hobby that I will take the time to do full detail pages that I can be more proud of. I like some of the linework I did on this project, but other parts are sloppy. So more time in the future.

    I'll sign off with a couple frames from my pages.

Man'o'war and Peace

 I am stuck in the grind.

I might have bitten off more than I could chew with my end-product but I'm committed to it.

This week I illustrated 3 new pages, none of which were in order. The story is starting to come together through illustration, but I will still have to pen the script.

I'm probably a little over halfway done. So this next week is going to be a rough one.

I have included the illustration of one of the pages I worked on. I don't think it will make much sense without the speech bubbles, but it is largely regarding post-nationalism.
