A Day Off No Matter What page 2

Page three is kinda close too, not sure if it's better to complete page 3, or sketch out page 4.

Pulse 378

I thought this turn was more interesting than Connor just following Thomas's requests.  He's not the sidekick.  It also creates some drama about who they free.

Annie arrives to continue her narratives, and prevent him from taking any action against Connor.  Although the next ...

Pulse 378 WIP 2

Connor has been all about following the plan so far, I thought he' be struggling with listening to Thomas when he had the option to choose his wife.

Considering this is a second page of the same two people talking in the same room, I tried to make things as visually interesting as possible....

A Day Off No Matter What page 3 WIP

Made some adjustments here and there.  Most of the art left are the trees in panel one, and Lucy's head, legs, Annie's feet, and some kind of ground texture.

A Day Off No Matter What pages 2-3 WIP

Here's newer versions of pages 2 and 3.  Any feedback welcome.

Thoughts on page 2 so far-

• Panel 1: I had the panel gutters layer hidden, and misjudged how far to draw.
• Panel 2: I'm not sure if you should see the location they are traveling into inside his outline, ...

Pulse 377

First page back in the present.  I wanted it to move to a different day, but the story really needs to deal with the fact that Thomas and Connor still have the device that can un-petrify one more person.  So it's still the same night as before the flashback.

Pulse 377 WIP 4

Going to be late obviously.  Just couldn't work on it when I needed.

Pulse 377 WIP 3

At least so far, Annie and Tabitha are dressed the same, but Thomas has a shirt on, and I think he's in a different room.

Pulse 377 WIP 2

I've drawn most of this so far without looking back at the previous pages.  Hopefully there isn't something I've forgotten that contradicts this visually.  Like the hallway being different (although maybe Thomas is in a different room?).

I thought that when Annie woke up in the ho...

Pulse 373-376

The recap pages.

Pulse 377 & 378 WIP 1

Early versions of the first two pages set in the present.

Pulse 372

Last page in the past.  There will be a mid-week set of four recap pages, then on to the present for next week's page.

Part of me would want to jump again to something new, but there's the big issue of who Connor and Thomas will unfreeze.  So the present day will still be the same...

Pulse 372 WIP 2

Not quite done, but it's not in bad shape.

Pulse 372 WIP 1

Last page in the past.

A Day Off No Matter What pages 2 & 3 WIP 2

Made some progress on both of these.  Need to actually write the dialog though.  Some pages are more dialog-driven, and you must have the dialog planned out first.  Other pages are mostly visual, and you can and should draw the page first.

Any thoughts welcome.

Recap WIPs

One more new page, then something like these will appear mid-week, before the new page set in the present (with Thomas and Connor deciding who to de-petrify).

Considering these are just copy and paste old pages, it didn't seem like there was any reason to not just show this to all tiers and...

Pulse 371

This is where Thomas and Connor start to realize they have altered the future accidentally... or Thomas altered it.

I wanted three panels on the top with Thomas and Annie.  One that's a continuation of the last scene.  One showing them together working on something, and one that c...

Pulse 371 WIP 4

Still not done.  Just a crazy busy week.  Inching forward.

Pulse 371 WIP 3

We'll have to see how today goes, but it'll probably end up late.

I started filling in the upper panels though.

Pulse 371 WIP 2

Not as far along as I'd like, but maybe it'll be okay.  Those upper panels still being empty is ominous.

One more page in the past after this, then a series of recap pages using cut and paste panels from old pages to remind everyone of current events.

Pulse 371 WIP 1

I haven't completely decided about the top three panels yet.  I think they'll be silent panels with Thomas and Annie either interacting, or encountering each other.  Maybe one will be Annie in a swimsuit (on her way back from the pool), or something that would be really memorable.  ...

Pulse 370

I thought the best way to explain how Annie got the wrong partner would be something simple.  Annie and Tabitha didn't know it exactly, but they were once in the same room with the other girls they'll have to fight (because every comic needs a tournament arc).  You can see all of them l...

Pulse 370 WIP 2

Tabitha seems too busty here, but it might just be that she hasn't appeared for a while.  Drawing Annie at her "super" size seems weird too after drawing her natural for the current arc.

A Day Off No Matter What page 3 WIP 1

Transition to beach.  There will be a little dialog here in panel 2, but most of this will be empty.

Next page will be about them deciding to take a selfie or not, and they both create so many rules of what they don't want to show in it, they just take a picture of the landscape instea...

A Day Off No Matter What page 2 WIP 1

This was originally going to take two more pages, but I thought I should cut it down to one.  I was going to try to make this a little more finished before I posted it, but I'm out of time for 6-8 hours at least, and I think there's probably enough to understand what's happening.

Annie...

A Day Off No Matter What page 1

The first page of the beach comic.  Any thoughts welcome.

As you can see, Annie is in a red bathing suit, and Lucy is in a white one.

A Day Off No Matter What page 1 WIP #3

I changed the third panel to speed up the introduction.  My plan is that this is mostly setup, the next page completes the setup and is them traveling.  So they'll be at the beach on page 3, and not 4 or 5.

Pulse 370 WIP 1

The big shot of the room shows Tabitha, and other six girls in the same order they'll have to complete against who appeared as a group on page 99.  Annie and Tabitha don't realize they've already met them.  The only difference is that Annie is third from the right, and Tabitha all the w...

Pulse 369

THIS is the screw up they make.  This isn't all of it, or it isn't obvious how this creates a mess yet.

I thought they'd lose faith quickly after failing to alter the first big event, and they'd start giving up... until they start noticing they did change the future.

Tabitha is t...

A Day Off No Matter What page 1 WIP 2

Even though I never got the Pulse page finished this week due to the flu, I thought I'd work a little on this now that I'm feeling a little better.

I thought Annie and Lucy needed to be wearing clothes over their bathing suits here.  Lucy would also want to cover up her legs a little, ...
