Just thought I'd share the WIP I shared on tumblr. I'll scrap this later.

I'm in the middle of moving across country (T-minus 1 1/2 weeks) while battling frustrating symptoms of hyperthyroid and/or stress, namely fatigue the likes of which managed to knock me off my feet almost like before I started medication (only almost though, thank god. No heart-rate-of-an-upset-cat for me ever again, please!). So I'm trying to take each day a little at a time with a chunk of chores and packing to complete and then a little R&R to relax and keep my body going for the long term.

So, like any sane person would do to relax I ad-libbed a set of non-sequitur strip comics for Gemini Journey and am working to see that through. It's just for fun, as I must remind myself, and a way for me to dip my toe into the waters of something I'm self conscious about.

These are process shots of two panels I like. I'm saving time by going straight from the rough sketch to inks, skipping the tight sketch inbetween I normally do. I've only been at this process for about 3-4 evenings, maybe 6-8 hours total, and I'm already churning out results at speeds I'm not used to. There is a loss of quality, but I'm not sure it matters on the whole. They'll be colored in the end, too, this gray scale is just for value reference for me.

Hope you all like. It's exciting and daunting to think seriously about story content and final comic presentation and stuff like this but it's thrilling that it's happening. The first script for the first episode/volume is locked down after critiques and revisions and we're already starting to write the second script which we'll open up to beta readers in the future. So. yeah. Stuff is happening. I'm moving. Life is changing. Here's a sample of my first baby steps into comicking. Thanks all.
