Yup, I'm still at it.

Last time ( https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8137957/ ), I was having trouble with dialogue. As it turns out, I worked through the entire script without creating anything useable.

On the plus side, I did find a couple plot holes and figured out ways to fix them.

So it looks like I'll be trying what a friend of mine assures me is the "Marvel method" of comics writing (at the very least, it's how he does it and I like his results). First, after you have decided what your story is and how it will be arranged, draw the art. Second, after the art is done write the story's narrative and character lines into the spaces around the action, basing what is said on what is shown.

Above, you'll see the first thumbnail. It shows the first two beats of the storyline, which are the top and bottom halves of page one.

This story was originally going to be submitted to a foreign comics company, so I'm sticking with a "european format" page size, which in this case means the finished art will fit onto A4 pages (or, if printed, both sides of A3 sheets when saddle stitched). That normally might be a pain to print in the US, but when I'm done I'll probably keep it digital.
