not an actual chapter header
Feb. 18th, 2009 10:19 pmOver the past few days I've been thinking about the method of starting with greyscale, then glazing colors over it. That's how I started this piece, but the 'glazing colors' thing didn't work so good in AI, so I shifted to my usual color methods. (Oh, and the whole thing was scrawled out direct in AI.)
'Rounds' are the currency of the Skylands. They're your basic standardized-in-size-but-not-in-design chunk of semi-precious metal, equivalent in purchasing power to about six 2008 US$. As Nick put it just now, you could have one good meal and a place to sleep - or two good meals if you slept rough, which Absinthe would probably do.
This looks like a chapter header, but it is not actually one. Not right now. Maybe it will become one. Progress on the comic has been nonexistent the past few days; I've been variously distracted, cold, cleaning, and baked. Hopefully this might help uncork things.
