Maybe it's the
summer heat...
Whatever the
case, I've begun a few comic pages lately only to find myself growing frustrated
with them, and eventually deciding to cut my losses and put them aside. Maybe
I'll return to them, maybe not, but at least for now I'll just work on other
stuff.
Still I thought
people might like to see these abortive efforts (I know how much people like
images of abortion, after all) so here ya go...
The first one
was going to be a bit of a rip-off/homage to Winsor McCay's "Dreams of the
Rarebit Fiend" (great strip, by the way.. I actually kind of like it
better than his more famous "Little Nemo" comic. It's slightly more
"adult" in content, more irreverent, and can be quite visually witty
and hip, esp. considering it's 100 years old.)
My version is
just a conversation between a couple in "the future," but I found it
very difficult to maintain a Winsor-ian consistency or naturalism to the
drawing.
The second
page.. actually now that I see it scanned, I see more potential in it. So this
blog post has been useful after all-- I think I'll refrain from posting the
pencils on that one until I see if I can get it in better shape and have a
finished page to show as well.
