Movin' along ...

Yesterday I got pages 15, 16 and 20 of RC #12 penciled (already finished pages 17-19 this weekend). After I get these inked and toned, I have one more scene to go, probably about 3 pages long, and then this issue is finished! I know it took a ridiculously long time.

I have to switch back to working on Kismet this weekend, though, because next Monday's Kismet update is the last one I have finished. I've run into a major sticking point on the Kismet plot. I mean, it's really a very MINOR sticking point -- I just can't figure out how to draw one building -- but the entire next scene takes place in this building and I can't draw it until I can figure out what the building looks like!

So this weekend I'll be closeted with Kismet and I *will* draw this thing until it looks right!

It's now official -- I'll be in Alaska for the entire month of April, will be back in Illinois briefly to finish packing up, and then will be moving the whole kit n' kaboodle back to Alaska. Egad, soooo many books to pack ...!

So I have to get a huge backlog of Kismet pages finished by the end of March. And somehow do it without the quality suffering. Erk.

Off to work now.

So what's the building you need to draw? Maybe by describing it here you'll figure out what it needs to look like. The act of explaining a problem to someone else usually helps me figure out the solution.

Also, good luck with the trip back north! Where in Alaska will you be moving to?

Actually I think I'm getting it. It's the Kismet Clinic ... since it's going to be a recurring "set"* in the series, I want it to be unique enough to be interesting, but not too hideously hard to draw. I think I'm going to locate it in an abandoned sewer ... it was going to be in an old ore-mining shaft, but that just turned out to be too horrible to draw and try to figure out how they moved equipment and patients up and down the shaft.

*I generally think in movie terminology when I set up my scenes -- sets, camera angles, stuff like that

Oops, just realized I didn't answer the other question! I'm moving to Fairbanks.
