Ch2 Pg51

Cheeko on Sept. 28, 2006

Well, after re-evaluating things I think Chapter 2 is going to end up being close to 100 pages. This will easily be the longest chapter in the story, and I'm starting to regret not cutting it off at the end of the Shroom/Dart/Ranu scene and going back to Narini and Orson. I had the big sort of cliffhanger ending in mind, but I suppose the threat of something bigger on the horizon would have been appropriate, too.
But anyway, there's really nothing I can do about it now.

I love the new Drunk Duck! Everything looks so streamlined and neat and professional and cool. Just great. All these new features are going to be so much fun to explore, and the best part is everything is still free. I love this place! I don't understand why everyone is threatening to leave if some stuff isn't changed. So far I haven't had any problems.

So this page was drawn at the height of my illness last week. I was in my 2D Design class completely out of it. I was exhausted and it was dark, which made the lineart and inking really hard to do and ended up making everything weird-lookin'. But look, the shading and shadows are back! I'm trying to make it look dark but moonlit… I hope I'll get better at it. If anyone has coloring tips please let me know.

Next week's page is already partway colored. Heck, at the right 2D is going, I might get a few pages ahead! So here's what I'm hoping will happen: if I manage to get 3 pages ahead (that means if three pages after the current one are totally scanned and colored), updates will be twice a week, on Monday and Friday. Keep in mind, I don't know if this will actually happen, but it's something to aim for.

I have a Calculus test next week and I don't know ANYTHING. Gotta study… see ya!

Cheeko out.
