Process

With other art projects, I'd think it out, pencil it, ink it, and go forward with whichever process next be it coloring or altering.  With Coma's End it's pretty much been the same process since the beginning: with a big Sharpie I make my three panels and, again as previously mentioned, I don't make them perfect rectangles.  Using a fine point pen, I get to work.  Sometimes I have at least one image in my head and others it all comes out pen to paper; just ink, no pencil.  If I don't start in a corner, then I start a bit more center and work my way out.  %99 of the time it's completely as I go with no thought.  Just straight ink, from the hip.

I had stopped when I got to #30 because it was the end of its original form as a comic, doing a 31st page to use as the title page.  It was all done over a year ago, probably two.  I started again recently with #32 after a lengthy absence and I'm happy to say it matches the rest of the series.  SO, with that said Coma's End continues and it feels good; especially when I'm writing and working on stuff but have an itch to draw.
