Page 21, which means 21 pages in a month. Not too shabby, especially since there's no pre-planning or anything. Start to finish as been one page at a time. And I have a lot of ideas starting to flood in. This is a good thing. This is the project I was looking for 5 years ago when I finished Tamino. All that development for other projects did not go to waste; it will all feed into Ghiroy. What I wanted to do with Delve Deep was a quick, fun D+D comic. And then it got too complicated, structured and, what I realize now, no fun for me. If I know every little aspect of a story, I get bored and have no fun telling it. This is better for me. I get to experience it as I go along. So, the prologue's over and things will get less weird from here on in. I've kept a couple themes or ideas from other comics. Dreams seem to be central to what I do, from Fite, through Tamino and even in Crawford and Cromwell to some extent. This one starts with a seeming dream sequence, too. The other continuing theme is the crow. He seems random now, but he does have a purpose. And his name is Silas. In my comics, crows are messengers. This one is no different. Best get going on the other characters and such. They're going to be needed really soon.
