Notice anything similar between the previous page and this one? Take a look.

Not I, at first and surprisingly too for someone who has been at very close proximity with the project, quite literally. But you'll have to forgive me. I found that there exists very separate roles for the task at hand - storyteller, scripwriter, illustrator, colorist, graphic design - and these are just generalising them. There is a chain of command as the process goes from an unfiltered concept to the finished product and in between those, a myriad of interpretation.

As I've mentioned before, I received the artwork a few at a time with no forecast of what's to come so colouring started from a different mindset; you gave what you knew and sometimes, expected. This meant, you were both working in the past and towards the future scenes. Of course, I had tremendous help from the illustrator, Jerem who gave hints along the way and steered me in the right path if I meandered too far off.

So reading through the comic again has me looking at different things, in different ways. I'm the audience now; no longer do I need to pixel hunt for smudges or make sure the pages are in the correct order and size or if the colours are telling the right story at the right time.

And we're back to the two pages again. The visual narrative continues with the same "passage of time" theme before the frame is punctured by Jennie's discovery and her ultimate realisation, clearly unaware of Jim's quiet despair in the previous scene; neither spared by the flash of what's to come.



Now for something completely different:

The Drive-In Horrorshow needs our fans! Robert Fitz, one of the creepy folks who brought us our ultra-gory special fx, is raising money for "Blessid," an indie film he directed. The film is made, but needs an extra 5 grand to pay for film festival fees, PR, marketing, etc.




Among the Sleep is a first person horror adventure, in which you play a two year old child. After waking up in the middle of the night to mysterious sounds, you start exploring the dark looking for comfort. Freshly released yesterday.
