Artist's Notes:
I stopped just short of substituting 'bored' in there, because Juno is (blind luck has the attention span of a squirrel on speed) and I'm guessing the people waiting for this strip were too.
A lot of this was dashed off quickly-- partially because it's a good way to keep my detail fixation from overworking the art and making everything look too static. I am actually happy with those clouds, and believe it or not they didn't eat a lot of time (most of my detail fixations do, not because they're time-consuming so much as because I get STUCK in them). It sounds silly, but felt like I've gotten closer to understanding clouds along the way, so these were just a few minutes' exercise trying to 'speak' cloud with the airbrush. Made me happy, anyhow.
Hang in there, believe it or not this whole stretch of fighting has an important story purpose that supports the arc in its entire, and wouldn't be such a pain if it weren't for my onerous pace. I am as eager to be free of this harvester as anyone-- at least you don't have to spend hours staring at it trying to make it three dimensional. You don't have to, you know. Please don't. Trust me, prolonged exposure to that visual drivel is bad for your mind. |
