(I'll insert the "next" and "previous" links here later. Our web connection got busted in a thunder storm last week and all I have now is my portable USB web stick that doesn't work in the countryside where I live for the summer. It took me ten minutes to log in DA, and that's only because I only have this one tab open. So apologies for the lack of links, I'll make them when our phone operator gets around to fix things.) FIXED

Apologies to all of you who wanted this page to be in colors. We already had signed the agreement with the printing company that this was going to be all black and white, and it would have required special arrangements to get the last page in color (and probably would have cost more. I had already leached every single euro from my student loan and had starved with noodle diet for two months to collect the over 600 euros it took to print it, so I couldn't have paid more).

But it's the page 62 and with it it's the END OF PART ONE! 8D This is the first time I have actually been able to stick with a personal project long enough to finish something, even though it's just the first part. The second part has already started, a bit slowly but it has started. It's the summer vacation desease that drains all the will to do anything that smells like work. I'm eagerly waiting for next Sunday, the girls from Liminka school of art's comic department (those crazies from apartment number three) are coming to kidnap me, and their company usually means inspiration. They're awesome.

With this page I also realised that my fears about not being able to draw trees were wrong. The trees are no problem, they still need lots of practise, but they're not the worst part. The actual problem is grass. How on earth am I going to shade all that grass! It hurts my hand to try to shade it like the fur of the characters, grass is a lot shorter in the matter of line length and grows upwards and fills the whole ground in wrong direction. The horizon is horizontal, but I have to shade it in vertical moves. Must learn a way to cheat with it...

I fail at proportions. Those sure are small for mountains.

Oh, and I'm not sure if I can upload a page next week, because of me getting kidnapped and all and I have no idea how long I'll stay kidnapped, but if there's no page next week, it means double page on the following week.

See ya people!

Wurr stuff (c) me stuff

(PS. For some reason I can't look at this page without getting that old Lucky Luke ending song in my head. Ya know, that one that played in the end of every episode/volume when Luke rode alone to the sunset. "I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, and a long way from home...")
