Production of new art for "The Wellkeeper" is really booking along now as I just finished the first 15 pages of the first issue. (Issue #1 will be 32 pages, fyi) I feel like I've really got a feel for both the artistic style and the craracters, as is shown in this quiet conversation page between Zoe and Sebastian, as our heroine nurses a bloody nose. (Nothing sinister. If you remember from the earlier posted pages, he's something of a klutz.)

This project has really challenged me to solve visual problems without my trusty photoshop as I have been doing the last few years, such as the darkening sky in this scene representing both the impending danger our heroes will face, and... uh, the fact that the sun has been setting during this scene. Solving with lines what I used to do with gradients and computer effects is a lot of fun and I hope to get even better as the story progresses.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this page preview.
