This page took *forever* to finish. And there are still parts of it that I wish I could have had more time to fix (the Bouncer). Meh. Next week I won't have a page because of the convention (I am falling behind... nooooooo!!!), so you will have to wait two weeks for the next fairy encounter. :)

I was so excited about this page last week that I drew most of it then. But in the intervening week my enthusiasm has faded somewhat. Bleh. All that text, the stupid furniture, the failed perspective. It's just one of those moody "I suck at this" weeks I guess. :/

It's definitely a Red Stapler moment. And you can see that in addition to Disney (which I've copped to before), I drew a lot of Barbie in my formative years. And unicorns. And fluffy bunnies flying through rainbows. I was a girl. :P

P.S. In the written script for the previous page, Morgan brought Holly coffee. I was too tired to try to draw that and it didn't seem to fit, so I left it out... only to realize that it was a key event in this scene. Oh well. Just imagine that between page 30 and 31 she stopped by Starbucks before coming back to the office. :P

I have learned that I love to draw the OUTSIDE of mass transit. But not the inside. Damn bus seats. Hate them. Now I am sore and exhausted because this took 10 times longer than I was expecting. :P

Damn this was a hard page to do, for many reasons more than just that I really liked Janice. The doors especially just *suck*. Hate doors. Hate. I used Umbrella Academy for reference material to make the explosion. They have some very nice explosions in that comic. :) Maybe it was a little overly dramatic to have a big explosion from what is later written off as a minor electrical fire, but dammit, I wasn't writing Janice out with just a fizzle. :P

This one felt a lot more like work than my typical page - all those horrid web pages-! Yuck. :P And I didn't go through and verify that all the web pages don't exist, or at least exist in similar forms (yes, I am normally that obsessive). So, you know, have fun with that.

Like most of us, I spent most of the weekend crying for Neil Gaiman's cat Zoe. *sniff*

I wasted far too much time this weekend reading the very funny webcomic, Girls Next Door, and the fanfic My Fine Feathered Friend, both revolving around the characters of Labyrinth - although GND has appearances from Good Omens, Discworld, POTC, LOTR and more.

Still experimenting with the whole coloring/inking options. I think my biggest issue is with Photoshop showing more color and detail than comes through in the jpg. This is so washed out... *sigh* And I had to stop mid-coversation because I couldn't fit the last few sentences on this page. Which I hate doing. It feels like a widow/orphan book issue. Plus I am going to lose the top row of the next page to finishing it. :/

This was a great venting for some unexpressed anger today. Virtual doors slammed, maybe I will get a good night's sleep tonight... :P

Lucky is one of those people who is only fun in small doses, I think.
