egypturnashWhew! I went out to Diesel with Nick and worked on Absinthe for a couple hours. The giant panorama spread of Wormwood that takes up pages 10-11 is now done. This was the first page I drew, and the thought of filling in all this detailed city has been kinda scaring me every time I think about working on Absinthe.
This is a close-up of just part of it.
Illustrator says it's 1258 paths. This might be one of the most complicated files I've generated in AI - and it's still not done, as there's an inset panel that I haven't touched yet. That'll probably only be a couple hundred paths more, though.
I'd done a bit of it yesterday, but that got stopped due to going out to see a live performance of Cinematic Titanic. Which was pretty entertaining aside from having legs far too long to fit into the no-legroom nosebleed seats we ended up in.

(Like the way Absinthe is the sharpest hue and value contrast in the whole spread.)

If I ever get serious funding I'd like you to illustrate some stuff for a video game I want to make.
Not kidding.
