Stole some time today to work on the new Front comic. While I got one page penciled, inked, and flatted all in one afternoon, the truth of the matter is that I’ll have to speed up. I was being far too precious with this page as I penciled it.

That’s way tighter than I had been penciling on some of the style tests I did a while back. I have to admit, I was nervous about taking that first step towards final art on this story, and I wanted it to be “perfect.” But if I want to fit this book into my crammed schedule, I’m going to have to speed it up wherever I can.

Once I can get this into a specific production time slot every week, I hope to do some live streams of the book as it comes together.
