This is easily my favorite comic so far, not because of the writing (which is entirely too straightforward and predictable), but because of the art.
I’m super proud of how this all turned out. First off I want to mention how inspired I’ve been by Adventure Time and how they do their backgrounds with a deceptive simplicity, elegance, and color. Here are the two backgrounds I pulled for inspiration and reference (from the Adventure Time Flickr account, which is amazing):
I learned from their’s and then made mine my own thing. Just to give you some scope as to how much went into this particular comic, there are over 90 layers devoted to the backgrounds alone. Photoshop was running at a crawl towards the end there…
If anyone is interested in a high resolution version sans text/bubbles for a desktop, let me know and I’ll try to accommodate.
