I See Dead Rodians...

It's officially Monday, so it's time for the next installment!

Greedo's HAN-ting #7!

It's a two-panel strip, I know. It's for pacing purposes, I gotta divide up my script somehow and sometimes, I just don't have enough room to cram everything in. That and a third panel would chop up what I wanna do with strip #8. Also... most of the time was spent drawing, redrawing, redrawing, and redrawing Leia's face over and over. I got it to the point that it was soooooo close to being perfect that I moved onto the next panel and left it alone.

I also ended up giving myself a hellish headache from it, hence why Greedo didn't get the usual amount of attention to detail as I usually would give 'im. Next time, though... I'm not gonna obsess so much with trying to get Leia's likeness so perfect.

Wow, I seriously need to write some other regular blog entries. My theory entries kinda dwindled to zilch. o.o

date Posted: Sep 10, 2007 2:30 PM Ooh! Looks like we're about to get an explanation for Greedo's delayed haunting of Han! I admit, I wasn't expecting this strip to be quite so complex... I figured it would mostly be some random slapstick gags with the ghost of Greedo and Han. You're doing a great job, Trak Nar!

Well, seeing as how I've tossed in references to Star Wars Tales, then this may come up after this initial storyarc.

Heh, well I plan to throw in a coupla slapstick gags, though they're not really my forte. Storyarcs are just much easier to work with and divide into three-panel strips.

Leia is surprisingly difficult to draw. Looks like that hour or so of work was worth it! ^^;

I don't suppose any artists out there would have any nice tips and tricks on drawing Leia?
