City Silent cont'd...

It's been awhile. My computer recently decided that six years was enough time to pass and that it would now like to have a major problem, please. To that end, the hard drive failed and had to be replaced. I had two backups so restoring wasn't a big deal. Still was without the machine for a week and I missed it.

Since releasing the last chapter of "The City Silent," and my book on portraits on my Gumroad store, and the nearly total lack of interest, I supposed I've succumbed to depression a little. I haven't felt the spark to draw much of anything. Today, I really had no reason NOT to try and draw something. So I pulled out the next song in the list, took a look at it and managed to get the whole page done. It's the track card, acting as a transition between the last song and the next. I knew I wanted it to be a lot less stiff, a lot less referential. Silas is mad at his departing muse and is about to throw a tantrum. So I need for this track to be more emotional. Using thicker, more textured lines will, I hope, help out with this.

I still maintain that I'm not a cartoonist. Certainly not a successful one. This isn't comics, it must be something else.
