Inkful Weekend
May. 28th, 2013 08:48 amI had four days off this weekend, and enjoyed sleeping in for each and every day of it. Other than that, I really didn't do very much. I didn't go to the movies, or the bar, or anything.
Thursday night (or was it Friday night, I forget), I finished drawing the last page of the next issue of my comic. I was thrilled. So naturally the next day, I started inking it. You wouldn't think that inking, essentially tracing over the pencils with black ink (Sharpies, ink brushes, etc.) would take long, but you'd be surprised. Because my pencil art is somewhat "unfinished," I add details with the inking (such as chest hair) along the way. Each page takes 30-60 minutes to ink, depending on the art. I have three more pages to go and then I start coloring them. I'm hoping the next issue is out by the end of June.
Yesterday, during my inking frenzy, I watched "Daughters of Satan" on Netflix. The movie stars a 26 year old Tom Selleck with full mustache, as an art expert who buys a crappy painting in the Phillipines of three witches being burned at the stake. One of the witches in the painting resembles his wife and the rollercoaster of demonic dog visitations, possession, and death ensues. Tom goes shirtless quite a bit, which was fun to watch, especially when he's asleep in bed and being nearly asphyxiated by demon smoke by his possessed wife. He definitely had a 20-something's body, which luckily filled out more before he hit his "Magnum, P.I." days. It's good camp when nothing else is on.
Today is the substitute Monday here, trying to catch up on the stuff that piled up while I was out. Softball double-header tonight against two teams from the tier above us, so it's going to be a rough night. Fingers crossed we can hold our own.
