Set to Sea 26

The story so far...

It's been forever since I posted a new Set to Sea panel! Not only did I have a lot of other work thrown at me, I managed to spend at least two weeks messing around with this one panel. I kept adding more and more hatching, whiting out bits, drawing them in again. I'm not even sure if it looks good at this point, I've overworked it so much it's starting to look like a schitzophrenic drew it. I've really got to cut it out with the over-crosshatching.

I'll talk a little about some of my current projects soon, I swear.

Now I'm about to go jogging!

I love this panel. The whole comic is very filmic, and this is a great example of creating a sense of light using complicated shadows. This looks incredible!

The artwork in this story is absolutely amazing. Reminds me of popeye with a little more whimsey.

An absolute eyegasm. Great job.

s'funny, i do the same thing every time i crosshatch: i feel like i'm going completely overboard and end up spending hours on a single panel. but weeks later, i look back and really like it (having forgotten the hours of obsessive scratching, apparently).

from an outside standpoint: that panel is really beautiful, as is the rest of the story. i don't think it's over-crosshatched at all, but i understand the feeling.

Let's hope! I still don't quite dig it, but I'll live with it.
