It’s been a while since I’ve shown you anything regarding the comic I am currently working on. As hinted in the comments and elsewhere I’ve spent some considerable time on reworking the story. At the moment I am focusing on the inking and hopefully I can progress to the coloring stage soon. Here is a peek into page 3 of the current state of the story. Inked but not colored and the dialogue is not present either, yet.
Another someone sleeping on the train from Kyoto to Osaka Umeda.
Some sketches of people whilst being on the train. I am still trying to figure out the right way to work with my DS.
By now you know the deal, right? I’ve been working on a different mix the last week and this but somehow it did not blend in a way that I found acceptable. In order to get myself motivated again I made this one instead. Minimix for “Frau Mit Muskeln” and the accompanying cover artwork.

As if there were not already enough things to do I have also purchased a Nintendo DS. A major time sinkhole. Next to all the available games there is also an whole slew of “homebrew” applications crying for your attention. Actually one of these was the sole reason why I got the thing in the first place. “Colors!” is the name and it’s basically a very stripped down version of painter and it has everything one could ask for. Since the touchscreen of the DS has built-in pressure sensitivity one is able to paint with brushes of varying size and opacity. Very good for pinning down an idea quickly without having to search for the colored pencils and also quite handy for digital on-the-spot miniature plein-air painting (like taking a snapshot with your point-and-click camera).
Enough talking, here is my first try-out sketch.
Then, the day before yesterday, I realized I had this comic strip in my drawer and all I needed to do to finish it was the lettering…
And last but not least some random stuff from my sketchbook…
