Hitting The Bar.

I always seem to be drawing bar scenes, and I never feel I get the vibe quite right. I think this is the closes I’ve got, the one I’m happiest with so far. Maybe it’s hard to capture that atmosphere because whenever you’re in a bar in real life, you’re usually drunk. All memories of such events are hazy at best. I get to have a couple more stabs at doing a decent bar scene in Issue #4, so it’s a work in progress, really.

Stayed up late last night inking page 24 (the final page), then The Thing Blu-Ray box-set came through the post this morning. I didn’t think it was going to happen, but that synced up perfectly. I didn’t think I’d finish this page till Sunday, and I thought the movies would come Monday when they’re officially released. Now my only wish is that the films themselves sync up as well. I’ve been hurt by prequels before… yeah, I’m talking about you Phantom Menace (I wonder if I’m the first person to ever go on the internet and complain about The Phantom Menace? No rant needed here, as it would be ten years out-of-date.) That said, I’m much more of a The Thing fan, then a Star Wars fan. The Thing is almost a perfect horror movie. Every scene is a classic. This is my Phantom Menace. This, to me, is wayyyy bigger event then the Phantom Menace.
