Ugh. Eleven panels. I’m an idiot. This page nearly killed me.
I wanted to blend a little of Mike Mignola’s style into the art in this chapter. Problem is, my normal goal when drawing is to look more like Geof Darrow — lots and lots of detail. Mike Mignola’s style does not blend with Geof Darrow easily. The scene-building inset panels and moody shading fights against added texture and line detail. Well, now I know.

It’s a great look, but if it’s going to kill you, then I say that you learn from this experience and never repeat it. On the other hand, it’s a great look…
I’m going to find a happy medium, don’t worry. 🙂
No, rats don’t count. Not unless they have cloaks! And even then, I’m not that kind of guy. 😉
Well sorry, but you’re going to have to wait a bit more if you want non-rat furries. 🙂
The page might have come close to killing you, but it is to die for 😀
…Sorry, couldn’t help myself! Don’t hurt me!
Am I the only wondering on re-reading where Pakawa is keeping a phone? Or would we rather not know?
The year is 2109. It’s probably woven into her hat. 🙂
