A friend asked me to illustrate her kid’s statement: “I’m going to start a comic strip called the Fiery Pits of Utopia. In the first episode, a nice devil guy is going to buy a doughnut.”
It’s just too perfect. Hell doesn’t get any fresher than this.
She’s just painted her toenails and she likes the way they look.
Autocorrect said, “Painting Tonsils.” I hate letting autocorrect down. Maybe the next one should be that.
I haven’t drawn with real ink in so long, I forgot how tricky it is. I accidentally blooped a big drop on her hair! Fortunately I have many tricks up my sleeve now, and was able to hide it.
I don’t like this drawing very much. I think that’s why I keep blathering about it.
Last Minute, page 11. It’s been renamed. I seem to recall saying this would be a five or six page comic. Ha!
It still needs proper scanning and shading and a little bit of Photoshop, but I’m just happy to have completed something!
I wanted to post it in full today to celebrate Halloween, so we’re going with my draft pages. At least the whole story is told. I’ll probably clean it up later.
Now get back to work!
It’s gory! Don’t look!
