Trying to get this one in under the wire re: midnight. I did just a little bit last night but I’ve been working on the strip (and watching movies) for most of the day. I have parts 1-3 of the fourth strip complete, and part 4 is roughly sketched out. My new computer actually shipped, and I’m supposed to get it this week. I’m using that as a pseudo-deadline to have all my drawings done.
The main thing bothering me at this point is how the backgrounds are going to play out. I don’t want to neglect them, as I know they can really add to the feel of the comic, but so far I’ve kind of been skipping/skimping on the backgrounds of the drawings with the thought that I’ll put the work in when I ink/color. Something tells me that skipping that step now is going to add another week or so to my timeline, but I feel that it’ll make the backgrounds better if I draw them full as a separate layer, which is best done on the computer.
As far as what I’ve been watching all day, I took a big bite out of my Netflix queue: Fido, The Rum Diary, True Grit (the remake), then The Big Lebowski (the second two I had already seen). Fido was great. I saw the preview for it a long time ago but it kind of disappeared after that. It was a nice surprise to see it show up on Netflix.
