Din Krakatau page 1

This is the first page of a exercise comic book I started to work on. No, it's not about exercise

Not sure if I'm capable of delivering comics of printable quality, I decided to practice by making a full page every day. Instead of doing an entire page from pencils to to inks/color and lettering, I decided to do the work in turns. For example today I pencilled third page, inked second page, and colored the first page (the one you see). This gives me the ability to see my work in all three stages, and while I'm working on a page, I can see the previous page at the same stage for comparison.

Also, the story is written on the fly. I have a very loose idea where I want to go in the next few pages and simply write the script right before laying out the page.

The title: it's taken from the name I used for one of my audio projects, but since I'm about to discard that name, decided to use it for this comic. It may or may not relate to the story at some point

How many pages will I make? At least three, as I have this many pencilled already. What's the maximum number? As much as I can make, maybe ten, maybe one hundred. Doesn't matter. No long lasting goals are being made here, the thought here is to practice, practice, practice. Practice scripting, practice drawing, practice page layouts, practice lettering and coloring. And practice blending it all together

Second page might (or might not) follow tomorrow... or the day after. Who knows

The entire comic is available here [link] and also in print as a 136 manga sized TPB from Indyplanet [link]
