As I started getting this comic ready for the I DIG DUG COMICS FACEBOOK PAGE, I decided to continue playing around with the color of the strip. You've by now read all about the issues I've had in figuring out the best color sequences for the characters (You haven't??? Well...scroll down the page and start reading! Sheesh...), but with this strip I started playing with the overall look of the strip. I upped the contrast a bit to make the black lines crisper, and in turn brought up the brightness just a bit. The colors are now a bit bolder, without losing the original intent of color. I'm pretty happy with it thus far. I'll have to do some comparing between 006 and 005 side by side to see if there's that much of a visual difference.
I know I keep promising a look at the I DIG DUG Graphic Novel: "Graduation Day", but my scanner has been a little preoccupied. I've begun scanning the ENTIRE IDD comics archive, and I guess I just don't want to lose track by starting new scans 'our of order'. I know...it's ridiculous, but it's me. I suppose I'll have to do it sometime this week, however, because I've run out of scanned LOST ON EARTH images. We'll see. It all depends on how I feel at the moment I guess.
And (insert random thought here) I've never TRULY posted the entire IDD series on the blog from start to finish. Might be fun to see the whole series IN ORDER starting with the submissions, into the first year of comics (and the sometimes horrible writing and art!), into the little posters I made which led to graphic novels and eventually LOE. Hmmmm...I dunno. Things to think about...
-dug!
