Uh oh, another rough draft? What’s the problem this time, did I get sick again? Am I going out of town for something or other? Did my computer explode? Thankfully, none of these things. There’s every reason to assume that I should have this update up to normal standards in another hour or two… buuuuut I’ve assumed that with a lot of the horrifically late updates lately, and look how they turned out. Since this is one of those pages that doesn’t really NEED colors and effects to work, I figured I’d go ahead and post the rough draft early (hahahaha, look at me calling 9am “early”) just to make sure SOMETHING will already be online if and when things start to drag. So, yeah, hopefully this version won’t be up for very long, and you’ll all have a finished draft with colors and cleaned up line art and a new Voting Incentive and everything later today. See you in a bit!

EDIT: Yeesh, what happened here? Let this be a lesson to you, children, always do the “just in case” thing even if you think you won’t need it. ESPECIALLY if you think you won’t need it. I was just chugging along, fiddling with details and thinking I was doing just great, and all of a sudden the sun was going down! I think I discovered a time warp inside my computer! Heck, I STILL don’t even have the Voting Incentive done, this was all just me cleaning up the ink lines and tinkering with the colors! How does that even happen? Well, if nothing else, I DO think the end result turned out quite nicely. It’s the first page in a while where I feel like it turned out exactly like the version I saw in my head (lately they’ve been coming out at 60%-70% resemblance at best), I just wish it didn’t take so atrociously long to get there.

And yeah, I DO still have to get the TWC Voting Incentive up, it’ll be ready by tomorrow morning. For real. No fooling.

EDIT EDIT: OKAY! NEW TWC VOTING INCENTIVE UP! Now that this update is FINALLY complete, I’m gonna… get straight to work on Friday’s because I CLEARLY need to start work of these things sooner.

(Historical Notes: I’ve already mentioned this elsewhere, but reading commentary like this just reinforces why Far Out There will only be updating once a week after the hiatus ends, at least until I’ve had time to get used to a regular schedule again.)
