Hour 6 or 7 (or thereabouts) of the 24-Hour Comics Day challenge. I coaxed the laptop and scanner to behave, so here's the last row on this sheet of illustration board. And now I'm running late for work, so more scans late tonight.
I was worried everybody was going to start looking like Death Note characters. Seriously. But the more hours passed, the more the essence of my inner scribbler rose to the forefront. Also, Felix's nose gets progressively bigger :P
I'm not sure whether I would have gotten so deeply into the grip of the story if I'd seen the Death Note anime before seeing the pen-and-ink art, which I spend a lot of time just staring at in envy. Odd but interesting. The characters have me hooked.
While you may have felt pretty punchy while doing these, I think in your heart (and mind) you know the story and the characters, and the sleep deprevation merely allows you to release the creativity. This is all great stuff!
As I mentioned as I was posting along the way, the story started ballooning out in the middle. The characters were definitely in charge. And everyone wanted their "For Your Consideration..." Oscar-worthy scene :D
I had just said some of that very think to our artist. I think the details that she keeps up with, the cup art (along with the dogs) is extraordinary considering she'd been drawing for hours.
Egad, my computer goes down for a couple of days and all manner of 'comic' adventures happen. I should have breakdowns more often. Ahh well, I can't afford to buy a new computer every day. Now if I can just get my e mail up and working, I'll be good to go. Keep at it Mighty Klio! DRW

Then I recovered, and stuck on some different heads and bodies :D
