Softies 2-4_20 Layouts, Pencils and Inks

Not a ton to say about this one, but you can see the layout changed a bit over the course of drawing!

smeallie post Witebox, Page 20 from patreon

You can see I changed this page layout on the fly again-- as I originally drew it, it just felt really poppy and disjointed to me. Restaging that joke to have Arizona and Diamond walk past the window, carrying the case and egg, made the whole page feel more like it had a coherent "thing" hap...

I wrote sklugzaroony in the script and wrote "come up with something better" next to it and I did not

2-4_18 Pencils and Inks

A straightforward one, for once!It bothers me how far Arizona moves between panels 3 and 4 but I'm not allowed to go back and change it now

Nevermind what I said last week actually, my buffer is healthy enough that I want to keep going with my normal update schedule :)

2-4_17 Pencils and Inks, and the Page That Doesn't Exist

Ok so like. This one is confusing, wtf happened here?What happened is I was looking over the script for this story and realized it was long! Like, longer than I wanted it to be. There's a point in this episode, in my mind, where "stuff starts happening", and realizing that it took me 20 ...

I'm probably gonna take a one-week break after this one for the health of my backlog, on the main site, but I might keep up the pace for patreon and let you get two weeks ahead? Not sure yet!

2-4_16 Pencils and Inks and some thoughts

Above are the layout, pencil, and ink of the final version of the page, but what you see is a result of tinkering while I was in the process of drawing.The script called for Arecibo to simply be in the car- I think I may have originally envisioned her just subbing in to drive the car. When I was in ...

Late oops! Here's this one. I like it.

if it has a screen and buttons and you can hold it it's a gameboy

2-4_15 Pencils and Inks

in a sort of rare-but-not-that-rare celestial event, you can see me rewriting the scene here as I'm in the process of drawing it. this page changed incrementally to accommodate the following page, as I made incremental changes to that one ( you'll see that change next time, so stay tuned! )I...

2-4_14 Pencils and Inks

I think the most interesting part of the process on display here is you can see that at the last minute I realized "Drag her!!!" was funnier and more in character for Thestrich than "Gottem!!!"

2-4_13 Pencils and Inks

had to draw Thestrich a bunch of times lol

2-4_12 Pencils and Inks

The script for this one I think was just like, "Arizona gets off the train and starts walking". Sometimes the scripts I write just have placeholders where I'm like "figure it out later" lol

Oh I forgot to queue this last week... this one will post tonight and the next one will be coming to this feed shortly

2-4_11 Pencils and Inks

I agonized over the camera placement on this page for an eternity because in the final two panels the camera reverses and the train is now traveling in the opposite direction on the page than it was before. this is an example of the kind of fundamental thing where you sometimes just go "ok well ...
