Artsitic Integrity
I’m delaying today’s strip due to artistic integrity. I always forget how hard it is to pull real people into my “style”. I needed to spend a good portion of the day doing sketches and figuring out the best way to convey real life people in my strip.
In that same vein, I’ve been perusing a LOT of web sites of illustrators, cartoonists, character developers and caricaturists. My current “style” (I use the term loosely) has served me well over the years, and it’s pleasantly evolved over time, but I find myself trying new things in doodling and generally broadening my artistic vision. Unfortunately, maintaining a cartooning schedule (along with other life stuff) does not allow much wiggle room for messing with my cartooning formula. Don’t worry though, I’ll keep on going with the fun-nay until I can figure out what to do. Perhaps a revamp of the look of the characters, perhaps even changing methods might lead to more evolution in my art (I’ve been toying with digital inking and different programs).
So, expect today’s strip today … just not right now.

I would assume that changes in style would initially slow you down, but as you become more comfortable with them, you’ll be more efficient than now. make sense? Basically, when you find the “right” style/technique you’ll be even faster than you are now.

Yeah, it’s obviously slow when I work on the side. I’ll only incorporate it once it’s more polished and at least as fast as how I work now.

I have always liked your style. it sets you apart and reminds me of the old style strip comics
