This is from the last Saturday Tales comic that I did and looking over the series I remember getting so frustrated that everything felt unfinished and unpolished. I pushed myself into unfamiliar and uncomfortable territory where I learned a lot but was never happy with.

One of my many many projects is to rework this series into a standalone-ish graphic novel. I got enough content to make the page count but it needs a complete story arc.

Dinosaurs VS Marsbots (DvsM) creator Gary Hodges joins us for a fun conversation about the dichotomy between Story and Character, writing process, and much much more!

Same drawing but inked and colored differently for different stories.

I'm getting 1992 Littlest Pet Shop playset vibes from it. Just need to add some bushes or something.

How the weekend project turned out.

I found it a bit too easy to go over board or not do enough. Finding that middle ground was a challenge but still quicker than doing a digital ink wash.

Also this is suppose to be the comic with the unhinged robots. What am I doing?

Weekend project. Trying to figure out how I'm going to color this comic.

I did a bunch of two color combo studies that I probably won't use because I don't understand color theory all that well but I kind of like what I got going on here. I also did a digital ink wash version that looked nice but took ages to complete and I don't have time for that.

Eleven more thumbnail pages. If I was following a story circle I think this would be through stage four or five? I never could figure out where the final boss confrontation is just before that at the "great loss" bit in the Hero's Rhombus or whatever.

Still rewriting my Halloween comic. The process has been a mixture of loose outlining and thumbing informing each other and various edits. I just hit a point where I need to work more on the outline to continue thumbing but Saturday morning is for drawing. Time to switch projects.
