Day 01 – Entertaining
Vault-42
Fallout 4 is coming out soonish and while there is no way I’ll be playing it in the foreseeable future… I’m excited about it. I’ve tried to keep away from articles that might spoil parts of the game for me. With the exception of the Fallout Shelter game I’ve done a pretty good job so far.
I’m not even sure how much has been released about the story line or game play.
Which is odd since I intend to watch others play it. I’m not trying to save the experience for myself in 10 years when I buy an XBOX One or PS4, I know better than that, I just want to be a little surprised.
So, today’s capstone is injured vault girl from dim-lit Vault-42.
BATTLE
There is probably another capstone with the title “battle”.
I was going to become verbose about my inspiration for this capstone… but… I’ll just leave a list for you:
- “Ice Station – Impossible!”- The Venture Bros.
- World Shaking Attack – Sailor Uranus – Sailor Moon
- Jean Grey – Red Phoenix – The Uncanny X-Men

Day Trip: Various Errands
While out I stopped at a local restaurant which I never knew existed. It was a bar and grill with an interesting “something for everyone” menu. I actually felt a bit of déjà vu at the decor. The Tiffany style lamps and the dark stained beadboard had me thinking of another popular neighborhood restaurant but I suppose all bar and grills built in the 2000’s where furnished the same way. I was particular enamored with the slanted windows which angled outward. I shyly snapped a few photos.
Getting out of the house for something other than work was great, plus, I got a lot of stuff done, took some photos, and had a good meal.
Don’t worry though I’m headed back to the drawing tablet.
New Process
When I used to work on comics I would draw them all on a single page. The approach I’m taking now is to make them all in separate files and piecing them together later in Adobe Illustrator. Each method has it’s own set of problems.
When I worked on a single page I had to plan out everything. Even when I carefully planned out everything it never looked quite how I intended and I wasn’t really happy with the results.
The problem with drawing each panel individually is that I haven’t planned out how it’s going to fit together and it looks more like a very detailed animatic or some sort of sequential art . Since every panel isn’t going to be 1032×729 it requires a bit more editing than if I had just planned everything out properly.
However, working on each panel individually allows me have multiple finished pieces. Which makes me feel much more accomplished. Seven high quality panels to display is much nicer than one low quality comic page.
Now that I’ve switched servers and my hosting is functioning I can spend my time on completing my comics (and various other projects) rather than worrying about if I’m going to have to migrate to a new a host and how much that is going to cost me.
