Hey folks, first of all, the kickstarter for NO RACCOONS IN HELL ended successfully last week. Thanks to everyone who pledged or shared!
I finished the final page of NO RACCOONS IN HELL part one this weekend. It’s thirty-six pages of comics. The issue will be 40 pages plus covers, so there will be 4 interior pages that aren’t a part of the comic story, with things like an author’s note, sketches, and this page, which will serve as a primer on characters we've met before for people who haven't read WHERE THE RENT WENT and GONE GHOST:
Now all I have to do is my edits. In addition to just making sure everything is generally cool and legible and that I haven’t messed up any lettering, I may redraw a few characters on early pages where I hadn’t quite figured out their appearance for the issue yet… but I may not. My characters have settled into being themselves over the course of an issue before, to say nothing of the fact that my art style has changed so much over time generally.
Alright, that’s the news I have for you! I’m typing this Sunday night, and am near the part of North Carolina that’s currently being messed up by the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal, though I am fine and expect to remain so. I hope you are all OK!
Take care!
Thanks for reading!
