I haven’t done much work on the comic this past week (thanks be to my small buffer for the short hiatus) and it’s been a nice change of pace after over three months of non-stop work. My batteries are recharged and I’m ready to spend the next seven days working on building that buffer back up because on Friday, I found out that SelfCentEnt is going to San Diego Comic Con! To have the first issue all printed and ready, I need to be about three pages ahead of schedule by the end of the first issue. That gives me about 11 weeks to complete 14 pages of the comic. It won’t be an easy task but with my slowly improving workflow and time schedule, I think it’s a manageable timeline.

I’m beyond excited to go to Comic Con. I lived in San Diego for several years and have been to the convention in the past but this is the first time I’ll be attending in a professional capacity. I have no idea what to expect but it will suffice to say that I’m anxious to see where the comic is at that point and what the reception will be from both comic fans and other professionals.

I’m happy with page six and it’s my favorite so far in the book. As I’ve said in earlier posts, I’m getting better at laying out different pages and leading the reader eye with text bubbles and I think the last two pages show that at work. Overall, the rendering on this page is decent, though there are a few things that bug me about it (as with most pages I complete). I only wish page seven was turning out so well but that’s an issue for next week…
