      Nakedness gets uncomfortable after a while :"B My favorite thing to wear is probably my pajamas around the house (because going outside with PJs is just... no.) Usually this consists of a large tshirt and baggy cotton cutoff pants. Comfy, warm, and easy to move in.

      Ahmmm, I have always been partial to the blue ones, for some reason. And I prefer plain (especially when they're cold), but I really like those crunchy/crispy ones in the blue bag that I can never seem to find.

      Oh goodness, good question. Though I don't think I have a very good answer. One day, I was sitting at my computer and thought to myself "I want to write a story with a noble in it, as the main character." But then said to myself, "that's been done! How do I add my own spin?" A few days later, it just... dropped into my head-- "what if the main character had died and someone brought him back? Yeah, he'd be like a zombie right?"

      This idea could've dropped into my head because I was listening to "Cemeteries of London" by Coldplay at the time. I'm not sure that is completely the reason XD

      From there, it was just a matter of putting in ideas I liked, or things I knew I wanted to draw. :") It's still being added to, so some stuff I had in the beginning has been rearranged or taken out, based on whether it fit the flow of the story. Hope this answers your question!

      Haha, I thought to myself "in the future I might be able to hire someone to do flatting for me." And then realized I am a horrible control freak and would re-flat everything anyway.

      I haven't had this problem with the comic as of yet, though I know I will. I've done it on other comic pages, however, and it sucks majorly. Actually, this is the second time I have drawn pages 1-6. There's another, earlier set of these pages that I might show to the world one day.

      And yes, comicking takes a while X3 A lot of the work goes into the planning and coloring, which eat up a bunch of time.

      Ahhh dang, I am going to have to give you an approximation on the page time since I do things in chunks and forget how long it takes me. But I would say... from thumbnails to finish, like 8-10 hours? Coloring takes me the longest (around 4 hours) mostly because flatting takes forever and ever, haha.

      As for scripting, I need to be really organized because otherwise I come back to the script and can't pick up my train of thought. So I've outlined (in bullet points) what goes down in every chapter up to like maybe 19? 20? From there, I do "formal" comic scripting format, with page and panel breakdowns that tell me what's in the shot, what the shot is, and of course, any dialogue. From there, it's just re-read, revise, re-read, revise-- on endless loop until I'm happy or it makes sense. When I start penciling the page, some of the panels get rearranged because it worked better than what I wrote, though.
