Still plugging away

There’s not too much new going on at the moment. We’re trying to wrap up some of our ongoing projects. Scott is busy drawing the pages for one of the stories in the upcoming FH2T, as well as getting The Layfield Incident colored. He’s also still in the process of editing our six issue mini-series; Sorrow in Stillwater.

I, on the other hand, have been sitting around twiddling my thumbs. I’m waiting for scripts and rough art to come my way so I can work my editorial magic. I’m also waiting on some finished artwork so I can do the lettering. Somehow Scott and I have gotten on a schedule where one of us is crazy busy while the other one is doing next to nothing. Soon it will be my turn to be crazy busy again.

I don’t want you to think I’ve been sitting around doing nothing, though. I’ve been using this down time to go back and re-letter some of the stories in the first FH2T. This was the first comic I ever lettered, and I’ve learned a lot about lettering since then. We plan to collect the FH2T books into one volume, so I plan to polish up the lettering on the earlier stories before we do that. I’ve also been working on the Pigeon Toe & Clubfoot script. If you haven’t seen it yet, there’s a new page of the webcomic on our website (page 03). We haven’t finished refining the new website yet, so there is no “next” button to click on to go through the pages, but if you just click on the page itself, it will go to the following page. And…drum roll please…I’ve finally gotten around to plotting out what’s going to happen in future Layfield stories. The Layfield Incident was originally planned as a one shot, but as soon as I finished it I knew that wasn’t where the story ended. Think of the first Layfield book as The Hobbit and the following books as Lord of the Rings. Not that I’m comparing myself to Tolkien, mind you. But the structure of the, more or less, stand alone story followed by the bigger story applies.
