Slowly getting a head of steam up and running again. Just to slow things down even further, I've revised the page layout and some of the character designs on the double-page spread I'm currently working on to accommodate dialog and and such. Slows me down a little, but it's worth taking the time for it, I think.

After several days of bad time-management, I'm finally ready to move onto the 'inking' stage of pages 18-19, though the agonizingly drawn-out 'penciling' stage is exactly the same process but with more of me shouting at it than the later separate layers that are almost redundantly named 'inks' or some variation thereof.

For reasons long since forgotten, I 'ink' backgrounds and foregrounds on separate layers, with further layers for hatching/crosshatching, and more often than not I forget which layer I'm working on. This blog won't make a very good tutorial for anyone, I'm thinking. I should probably put more of my horrible sketches and comics on here and end the WIP facade.

Last episode of the Black Donnellys tonight - this better be good!
In other Coyle-related news: alcoholism.

That is all.

More "just got back from work and I'm too tired to be drawing" drawing, but it helps tie me into a work routine, I suppose. Two panels a day and at least a page per weekend is the provisional schedule I'm aiming at while I'm still at t'job, with a step up once the inevitable hulking shadow of unemployment falls across me in a month or so. Although there may be a tad more Playstation involved in any schedule made after that point. And anime.

Watching: Defying Gravity, Metalocalypse
Listening: Japanese show themes, amateur covers of sad alterna-rock songs
Playing: Jak 3 - AGAIN.
