Okay, I'm very tired as I write this. I went round to Izzy's to watch Ghost in the Shell:
Standalone Complex and Appleseed this evening instead of working on the comic at a sensible
hour, and then had to shade it starting at half eleven. You might have guessed from the art
that this one was a hard one to shade; it was also time-consuming. It's taken me two hours
to get from line art to this point.
Still, I'm happy with the result. I'm going to use the first panel image for a Drunken
Scribblings banner for the big launch, which will probably be the week after next. I am
slowly getting ready for it, I promise...
I highly recommend Appleseed, by the way (the new version, at least); the animation is
immensely shiny. It's not badly put together plot- and writing-wise, either. It also
manages to avoid Ghost in the Shell's problem of getting too deeply into the philosophy
and getting bogged down. It's worth pointing out, though, that GITS: Standalone Complex
is also short on the philosophy, and thus in many ways much better than the films (certainly
the second one...)
Anyway, I'm off to bed...
Wub, Rik
