Gah, haven't updated in a week, which corresponds to how long it's been since I've drawn anything. There was a VERY busy weekend which involved multiple social gatherings around a wedding. Then there's work and lots of hours there. As it is, there hasn't been a lot of -visual- development in Silas' comic but there's been a lot of writing as it takes less time. It's going to be an opera of sorts with all the text being in the form of lyrics. As such, I have to write songs. I've managed to get through five so far, which covers the first of four sections of the comic. I'm reusing characters from Tamino in this, most notably Silas himself, but others will make an appearance as well. Howard the dog will be the narrator, meant to open the comic with a 'song' that will, hopefully, explain what's going on so I can remain as obtuse as I usually am throughout the body of the thing. I referenced the opening of "Romeo and Juliet" for this at least in the broad idea. So this is a quick redesign sheet for Howard so he'll fit the current style. Not totally down with it yet, but at least pencil touched paper this week.

This gives me some ideas! I can't imagine how hard it is to write a book worth of songs.. or even one song! I have been too preoccupied with the animation to even think about drawing lately.
