I'm almost fully settled in to my new home and I have begun drawing again. I'm going give all square panels a go for pt2 because I can tell the difference between "I don't want to draw backgrounds!" and "This is a dynamic panel layout!" even if most can't.

Been busy. My new home has a shed in the back and my new neighbours are cats and horses. I have gotten back to work on my foolish-if-you're-practical retirement comic.
How are you?
What I have learnt this past 20 days of trying to pump out comics at an expected rate;
a) I must have a good office chair and desk if I want to draw and my emergency week at the kitchen table was painful. Thankfully I have both.
b) Flash flooding makes it hard to work.
c) I can get about four panels done a day if I can get into the flow. Five if they're simple panels. Three if I'm having a bad back day.
d) I still need to work more on my spot blacks. Some panels are a bit off balance.
While I have been working in a format designed for smartphones (Tapas first. Maybe?) I'm going to have to redo a lot to make it look a bit more traditional for other hosting sites. Resizing the art will be easy. It's rewriting the dialog to fit that will be the chore.
And then I release it to the sound of crickets.
Almost done the comic's introduction. Drawing conditions aren't ideal at the moment and I'm still waiting to find out if the road to my new home has been repaired so I can get there, get set up, and start my six month art & exercise plan.
Getting a new home has been delayed for over a month now and compared to the amount of work I was doing in June in that AirB&B in Seoul I feel sluggish right now. Though I am happy I have a new home to go to. There are tent cities throughout Halifax right now because a lot of people don't have one anymore.
