Since I changed my mind about perusing this story right now I thought I'd post what I have done so far. The idea was to do a fun fantasy story drawn quickly. I was really inspired by Trondheim's art for Dungeon, expressive and loose. I've decided instead to work in my free time on a series of ghost stories, rendered in my more detailed style. Although I learned a lot doing this and may return to this style at some point.

Working on a monster for the webcomic, not quite there yet, too...um...cute, I think. Oh well. Lots of time for this later. Currently finishing up colours on the Situation webcomic. Please remind me not to hand colour comics with watercolour and gouache next time. It looks good but is taking too long. Now I know...

A sketch I just did of my webcomic characters Grist and Crow. It'll be a Lovecraftian high fantasy thing about four normally villainous characters travelling across a desolate northern continent.

This happened without really thinking about it and I thought it was kind of interesting. I realized that in mapping an imaginary world to accompany a story that the maps were accumulating notes and features that were guiding the story and characters themselves. To give an example, the main character was meant to meet a witch in a dungeon but in the process of drawing maps I realized that they should meet her on a small island because it just made more sense in every respect. And unexpected places pop up and start to drive the story. "Oh, there's a small ruined, haunted town there, OK, that's cool..." and so on. The story starts to unfold visually, with squiggly arrows and notes jotted in pencil. Anyway, I thought this was an interesting way to write.
