20090817 (35) – A large amount of carefully considered cropping kept this one from requiring time-consuming roof-raising renders. While it’s more cramped than I’d like, I like the idea of getting td2e done this year quite a bit more than the notion of showing off the background every chance I get.

If I weren’t down to a single machine at the moment, I’d probably have a different opinion on the matter, and the PC would probably be chewing on a roof-raise as I write this. :)

I still love the light-up shot.

20091008 (34) – Lettered. Will finish the rest tomorrow. In other news, West quoting Videodrome is both appropriate and whacks “let’s get going” or the equivalent…. that line or one of its siblings (let’s get going, let’s move, let’s roll, etc) has been said at least half a dozen times in the past four chapters. Maybe more. Probably more.


Mastering notes, 2016.12.07 – Rewrote parts of panel five.
