Boost the Signal
Right now seems like not much is happening, maybe I need to pick up the pace.

All right I’ll admit it. I am out of buffer and up to date. This one would have been a lot more fun without such an impending deadline. Must start next weeks.
Enjoy

Here’s page three and it’s the first with a mixed media approach to lettering. I appreciated the feedback from last week’s page and I even tried to act on it. I hand lettered Buddy’s dialogue to give more of a spoken feel. I kept the typed format for Klink because she’s a hologram projection with a computer voice so I justified that it shouldn’t feel “spoken” so much as produced. I like the ideal of the combination, but I think that I might write the words on a seperate page next time so that I can move them around if I need to or even edit them. I changed the dialogue for Klink as I placed it, but it would be really hard to do that for the handwritten stuff.
Overall I had fun drawing this page, but it has given me a new appreciation of well written books. I wrote and rewrote and rewrote trying to cut down exposition and I even dropped off a couple of gags because I literally couldn’t figure out where to put them on the page (or in the flow of the narrative). No spoilers, but next week’s page is a lot fewer words and lot more action.
Smells like awesome
TAG! Team assemble!
Okay this page was tough. I loved doing the drawing, and then realized that I hadn’t left any space for the words or even considered exactly what I was going to say.
I have really enjoyed getting going on this project because it is forcing me to learn as I go and it’s helping me to appreciate what other artists do to create a webcomic. I drew this comic and then scanned it and added all of the words etc in Photoshop. I think that next week I am going to give Illustrator a try.
I hope that you are enjoying the adventure and I look forward to the next installment of YURIT. So anyone have tips on lettering or wordbubbling?

Inspector, Doctor… Doctor, Inspector… you two have a lot in common.
And just WHO do you think you are?

I had this drawing banked from a really prolifici week and I felt it was appropriate after the wonderful, but veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery busy holiday. It’s also appropriate for the new year coming. January second should bring you the first installment of TAG! with the first YURIT soon after.
Look for changes to the sight and expect lots of random and new things coming.
