The gouache wasn't coming out in the newspaper so I decided to try some ink washes instead of colors. Overall I'm much more pleased with the look of it, and the washes don't compete with the pens nearly as much as the paints did. Also, typing text is much easier (and looks nicer) than when I handwrite it. Go figure...
Gotta remember to do those stylistic thick outlines like in the first panel. It really helps make things stand out.

You would include an octopus alien. =)
ReplyDeleteOf course I would! I actually tried to make a new type of monster, but creature design is a lot more difficult that I expected! I couldn't think of anything scary enough. so I decided to go with what I already had a pretty good grasp on.
ReplyDeleteWell I like it. An octopus in space would definitely scare me.
