The holiday blitz in retail is already on! I've been so busy with my other job I can barely keep up with the comics. That's why I've been pretty silent on the blog front lately. That and the fact that most of the ideas and thoughts I would want to share right now involve burning down my workplace. Just yesterday I pencilled, inked, and colored this new Radicals page. I think it kinda shows too. Seems like I had been steadily improving and this was sort of a step back. Also, You may have noticed a pretty stark diference in last week's linework. That's because I did it over a year ago. This was originally supposed to be the beginning of issue 1. See the previous entry about "Bug" to see how we got so screwed up, story order-wise. But at least I got a lot of wordy internal dialogue and exposition out of the way. Next week begins a sequence that should yield a lot of action! and be a good chance to get back into practice. When I got my unwanted promotion-like thing I was FIVE WEEKS AHEAD on the Radicals. Now, I have fallen so far behind, I am doing the new pages the day before they are due.
The Tuttles Vol. 1 Collection has been submitted to the printers. I'm just waiting for them to let me know when to pay or that it's ready. It should be available before Christmas.
In collecting news, I picked up Transformers Movie Megatron the other day. He was the last character from the movie I didn't already own. He has a pretty impressive robot mode, but a barely-existant vehicle mode. Tear the kibble off his back, spray paint him silver, and NEVER TRANSFORM HIM AGAIN and he's pretty cool. Mostly just good next to Optimus as display piece.
