I'm having one of those really busy weeks. There's a good chance that my update will go up for Friday now, or be awfully close to the end of Tuesday, and prewarning: it's likely to be similar for Sunday and Tuesday because I'm away all Saturday and then working... we'll see. I blame being distracted by comic typography.
Well, at least it's one page. - October 20, 2009 - 0148
Yeah, I might have to come up with a new alternative to Sunday updates now. This page was a unique challenge--at least, the fourth panel was--as I could find no suitable reference and it was a tricky one. Interestingly I like that panel and not the first one. Something seems a bit off...
Today's comic of the week is Chirault. I have a wonderful piece of fanart in my gallery from her so understandably I'm a bit biased when I say her art rocks. But it would rock even if I didn't have some fanart. Chirault is inked in a nice and simple style that, at least to me, is very memorable. I can look at it and immediately think 'Varethane inked this'. Ink-only is hard to do right and Chirault does it right, keeping it simple but still distinctive. The story is a fun fantasy story with some sort of globe thingy, and demons, and demon slaying, and a girl who gets magically shrunk. It's fairly straightforward (shrunk girl joins up with demon slayer who takes on bounties) with its own complexities and richness (miniature globe of the world!). I found it easy to get into, and there's plenty of archive there for a readthrough.
