Building a foundation with slow-dry cement
After way too much time aligning frames (my OCD-like tendencies have me counting pixels), rewriting dialogue, and further tweaking layout, I've finished my third strip. It adds a new comic element, but overall leaves a lot of room for improvement. I'm not thrilled with the quality of my work so far, but I'm still enjoying the process and I know I'll do better in the future. I think I've had too much on my mind... site structure, design variations, getting pages done, introducing characters, etc.
It may not show at this point, but I'm continuously thinking about and developing the various future sections of the Web site. I look forward to the day when all this setup is done and I can focus all my time on making new comics. I'll definitely get stuff done more often at that point. Until then I can hope for weekly updates at best.
