It should be rather obvious where he is now.

The clock face took a long time to do for a piece of background. First I did it backwards (it's facing outwards, so it has to be flipped, right?) and then the lines were crooked, and then they were just… they were hard to do. Yeah. And then there were the gears… When I was all done (or thought I was) I realized that there was no way the clock could work; it was just hanging there in space. At first I told myself “Meh. Magic Clock in a magic world. Forget it.” But I couldn't cheat you out of that, could I? Besides, this comic is supposed to be as realistic as it can get.
Some of you may wonder why I don't come up with my own method of time-keeping. And my answer to that is “Bugger off, you sod. Pip pip, wot?” I like doing a British accent.

Okay, all randomness aside, I really am happy with this page. The lighting came out a lot better than I thought. A nice little tip to all of those working with Photoshop: if you want to make a silouette look like it's standing against a bright light, use a really soft brush to spread a little bit of transparent white around. That really helps. See it in the third panel?

If you haven't already, go back one page and check out the HILAROUS animation TH89 made. It's so cute! I love it! Of couse, me being in the clip has nothing to do with it. *cough*

If you like this page, just wait until the next one! Now THERE'S a page I'm proud of. It's one I printed out to be reviewed with my college application. And it ain't even colored yet! ;)
I'm struggling to get back onto the weekly update schedule. One page every Friday from now on. You watch, people.

Cheeko out.
