Dark Red: Issue #3 - Behind the Scenes

There's always an odd combination of sadness and joy when an issue ends. And a little bit of relief that we managed to get there in the first place. This one did seem to get tricky in places. But that's something to work on next time.

Dark Red: Issue #3 Page 88 - Hell or High Water

Well, here we are, the last page of Issue #3. Next week is the bonus page, compiled by Jo, and the week after is the behind the scenes page. Which I'm really looking forward to doing.

I wish I had the time and energy to do two pages of the comic every week. But I don't. Sometimes I run out of time and sometimes its energy. When it's both we really run into trouble getting a page out at all. Sadly I have to leave the house occasionally, to work full-time, to see family and friends, to help out in people's lives, to do all the things you guys probably do as well. Now and then I find it hard to believe anyone reads the comic anymore or wants to see what happens next. And I suppose that doesn't help.

Sorry, this page is late. I got about half way through the update last night and fell asleep. Go figure. Anyway, we're back with the Nephilim for a page. Now you know how he survived the flood.

I decided to go all out on panel 5. I just kept increasing the brightness. It had to be big. It's the dramatic conclusion after all.

And we're back with Anders and a lot of chaos. How will our brave heroes stop him? I do love these pages of general madness and running around. They are a hoot to shoot.

Dark Red: Issue #3 Page 82 - A Little Knowledge

It's been an insanely busy month for both Jo and myself. With all sorts of family commitments, events and an assortment of random stuff dotted about. Added to this I've had a really sore back for most of this week. I was a fool last weekend and actually exercised. This has been an ongoing thing for the last month. Why this should annoy my back this week is beyond me. Anyway I'm completely surprised that we've been managing to fit in the comic around all this. But we have and here's the page for this week.

Well, it's been a long wait for the truth about Sarah. And it's been hard not to let things slip. Let's just say that when Sarah lost her sight the way she did, it gave a certain snakey character the chance to get his own way. Page 81 - Darkest Red

I actually updated the comic yesterday and did all the blogs and gallery stuff today. It's been a busy week.

Have a great weekend,
