spqrbluesNo new comic today. Neither scanner in the house is working. I didn't want to break down and buy a new one until I could afford an 11x17 scanner, but it's way past time to get something that functions reliably. Who knows, I might even have finished Big Failed Project if I had a scanner that didn't keep breaking down in the middle of the night. And also if I understood InDesign better. And also if I could draw and lay out 30 pages a month. Anyone who reads SPQR Blues knows how slow I am. Which brings me back around to: No new comic today.
There are, however, new sketches-of-the-day, but they aren't Romans. I couldn't scan the Herculaneum and character sketches, either, except for this itty bitty one of the House of the Beautiful Atrium:
This is the little study-card book (pen shown for scale) I was using to do sketches on the plane, right before I drank too much airplane wine and became passed out:
If the scanner is going to keep breaking down, I wish it would at least have the sense of style to do it by catching fire or exploding or something interesting.

Date: 2011-02-21 12:00 am (UTC)What kind of sacrifice would be required to make a scanner work correctly ? And to what god ?
Mercury/Hermes ? God of travels, and by extension of postmen, and then of communications, why not of computers and telecommunications ?
Or Jupiter/Zeus who wields the ligthning, which makes him the master of all things electric ?
Or Hephaistos/Vulcan, maker of clever machineries ?

those myself..." :D

Much love, do drawings, and I'll try and post more. If you get in grumpy Yharren I'll make good on my promise on the flight home in the middle of the night Thursday.
