tealinHow do morning people do it?
This is the product of a sort of demented idea I had last fall, which I had lain out in storyboard form, but which I decided could be fit into a comic-page layout as well. I've never done comic pages and I know there's some sort of theory as to how to lay them out so the eye travels in the right order around the page, but ... I am completely ignorant. Though I must say, doing board revisions has made me much more confident at drawing in perspective. Speaking of which ... I think the final panel should be a wider shot. Yes? No? The main obstable is that I have no idea what Warley's wearing when he goes up the mizzen and it's too rainy and windy and dark to look it up. Should I just give him Nagle's costume, or what? Am I FAR too concerned about this?

I have only 3/4 of an episode left in Simon Schama's A History of Britain.
(And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.)
First page: The bus driver, the way I found him on my way home from work. (Don't worry, he was alive, despite the boots.) Then an interesting person walking dwn the sidewalk, and the profile of someone on the bus, as best as I could draw it without actually looking at him because he chose that moment to stare out the window behind me.
Then ... his profile once he resumed his former position, and an attempt to capture the way the jacket of the man in front of me piled up against the seat ... but instead it just looks like he's got some odd spinal deformity. Oh yeah, and there's a person sitting behind him, too.
Oh yeah, and then there's this atrocity. Urgh, looking at my Valentines album is like walking past the Barbie aisle at Toys R Us... [shudder]
That is, if Barbie had a hot pink 28-gun frigate and a mission to hunt down French privateers.
I am liking this picture.
At least ... more than anything else remotely related to Barbie or her gang of generic, PC hangers-on.
Maybe the Master & Commander playset toys could hunt down the Barbie ship and sink, burn, or take her a prize!
Except they don't exist.
Yet.
Mwahahahahaha.
It is time for me to sleep.
10:59 pm
"Come on chums! Roll out those cannons! You can do it! I believe in you! Make sure you're wearing proper ear protection! We don't want anyone getting hurt!"
Wait a minute... is that Barbie or Barney?
This is getting better and better...

Date: 2005-02-16 04:01 pm (UTC)The Maturin Valentine is not an atrocity! It is the creative prowess of modern (wo)man at its finest! Why - the Sistine Chapel simply pales in comparison. My darling! If there is not a hot pink 28-gun frigate in production already you should send a resume to Matel, offering your services, pronto! Rapidamente! Per favore! How could my childhood have been a happy one without Malibu Barbie sailing off to visit California Dream Stacey in Royal Naval style? See! This is precisely why I am the way I am... today. A total lack of entertainment necessities.
"...or her gang of generic, PC hangers-on."
ROFLMAO
*wipes a tear*
There isn't Irish Creme in your coffee this morning, too, is there?
Please, you know the Master & Commander playset wouldn't get many shots off at the Barbie yacht. One look at Malibu Theresa in her blue bathing suit and Maturin and Aubrey would be tearing each other's eyes and hair out while Barbie, herself, frets over whether or not her mother approves of her understanding with the Captain.
Snip!
This could go on for days.

[ponders this]
"Please, you know the Master & Commander playset wouldn't get many shots off at the Barbie yacht."
This is more than likely sure.
And now, Silly Theatre Time:
[DOUDLE lowers his spyglass from a hot pink blur on the horizon]
DOUDLE: The ship's nought but women.
[SLADE takes the spyglass and looks through it skeptically ]
SLADE: A ship full of women? 'Tain't natural!
