More Covers
Last week was busy but I did manage to get the cover art for the project pretty much all sorted. The deadline wasn't 'till today but I was buzzing after drinking several cups of coffee so got all of them finished before this.
Comic strips.
Just as I thought the run up to Christmas was getting quiet I get a last minute brief through for some comic work.. keeps me out of mischief! ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0xrgEnSYXNt6AILISSU5CKD97dpeRXJjZdQm7EI4RO1nArRaTPQdr-XsuywMEwm2IgV9vVsirjOHrRe5yZirUJxTf0sV5KCBlPcdaNixWtK_BECqUCDgtvPAdw16BYmupxnbqzOoAcAE/s400/1_2pgr.jpg)

I had just under a week to create 3 spreads and a single page but had no script, just four highlighted blocks of text taken from a book so the first job was splitting the text into frames.
Here's the first job, roughing out:

I broke it all down into specific key frames, in this case there wasn't a huge amount of action in the scenes I was given.
And final art:

After feedback I had about 1 day per spread. I would like to have added more detail, if time permitted but sometimes the best thing to do on a tight schedule is get the job finished to a consistent standard rather than miss a deadline.
