Now that I'm getting the knack for the color palette of the LOE comics, I'm finding that as I sketch out new strips, I'm thinking about the coloring process...which is kind of new to me. Before, with IDD, coloring didn't matter much. I mean, sure I tried to do some cool effects in Photoshop, but color was always an after-thought. For the first time, I'm finding myself draw the strips thinking about the degree of difficulty in adding the color. Additionally I'm beginning to find ways to 'detail' the strip to better enhance the coloring process. Again...much different than the 'ol IDD days. But a welcome challenge none the less.
So now you've seen LOE 001-005, in black and white AND color. This weekend you'll get to see your first new black and white LOE strip (006) in some time, which will be followed up by color and we'll just continue in that pattern. Well...as long as I can keep up with adding color. That remains to be seen.
Oh...and I seem to remember something about the IDD grahpic novels, didn't I? Hmmmm... :)
