Added 2014-11-13 04:59:40 +0000 UTCTwo pages and two panels on the third page inked today! I just got four panels left and then this motherfucker is DONE. Well, I mean, my part in its production is done. Matt's already started coloring the pages I've passed on to him.
I'm inking this one all out of order, starting with the easiest pages first, so I could get them in Matt's hands as quickly as possible. Now it's down to page one, which has the most stuff to draw and most variation in camera angles.
Matt and I watched The Duchess on the weekend and I've been fixated on drawing an 18th century nobility porn comic ever since. I drew some silly little doodles of noble ladies in giant curly wigs lezzing out that night but when I told Matt about my idea he didn't get my *~*~vision~*~* ("Wait, so the statue just COMES ALIVE for no reason? That doesn't make sense" BITCH, IT WILL BE SO BEAUTIFUL IT DOESN'T *NEED* TO MAKE SENSE) Also, I don't have time to draw this comic. Like, for reals, I do not have the time. I'm supposed to be drawing the "I'm 30 now!" comics when I finish the OJST strips each week, there's no way to squeeze in a period piece with super elaborate palace interior shots.
And yet. Last night I unintentionally spent about an hour researching and collecting reference photos of the Palace of Versailles and other ridiculously over-embellished ballrooms and halls of mirrors and in-door statue gardens.
And then, during my bus ride home tonight I spent the entire 40 minutes thumbnailing the beginning of the story. And it made me really happy. And I can't get this setting and these costumes and these characters and this silly little smutty story out of my head. And I really wanna draw this comic.
And. And. And.
We'll see.
