Far Out There

WHOOOOOOOO boy, this page. This freaking page. Just two panels of a few characters talking. How hard can THAT be to draw, right? The answer is VERY, if you just straight up forget how to draw for a day. No, seriously, I sat down Monday to pencil this thing out, and it just wouldn’t happen. It was like I somehow started drawing with my left hand instead of my right without noticing, I couldn’t do ANYTHING. I erased and redrew and erased and redrew these characters so many times I was seriously afraid the page would start falling apart in places, EVERYTHING kept turning out wrong. I still have no idea what the actual problem was -maybe I just used up all my mojo getting an admittedly impressive amount of Conventional Wisdom & Patreon stuff done on Sunday- but in the end I had to just give up, go to sleep, and start fresh this morning. That seems to have done the trick, BUT it obviously left me running super behind schedule, so I’m going ahead and doing the “Half-Finished Page Now, Final Draft Later” thing again. I also don’t have the new Voting Incentive finished yet, it’ll go up along with the final draft of the page. Yes, I was so out of sorts yesterday that even taking a break to draw Jenna in a cute costume couldn’t get me back in shape. That is REALLY bad, right there.

EDIT: Okay, there! New Voting Incentive and everything!

(Historical Notes: “And make sure nobody specifically mention what we’re actually going to do!  Not only will that require the author to figure out more details than he actually has right now, but it’d obligate him to cause something to go wrong so that the story is less predictable!”)
