Stranded In The Desert

This is a really small drawing in my comic so it's nice to separate it out like this and see if it works by itself. Sometimes drawing characters small can be a challenge, but I think these guys have enough of a recognizable shape that it's readable. I was up before 6 this morning and I don't think I'll be done much before 11. I have a feeling that my days will be like that right up to Christmas when I want to be midway finished the first book at which point my wife will hit me over the head and drag me unconscious to Ottawa. But the break will be good for me. I do intend on working on the outline for the second book while I'm there. But that's not really working. I've had about 5 Maddy Kettle books snap into place for me. I think I'll use a Tintin model and have stand alone stories in most books but sometimes have a 2 parter. The first storyline is completed in book 2. But I also envision and overall story arc, or an ongoing challenge that Maddy has to deal with/ There will be actually a few issues that Maddy will be dealing with consistently, some personal to do with home life and some a little more epic. I'm also thinking I'd like stories to take place in both the magical Cloudscape where the first 2 books largely take place, and various parts of North America.  most of the stories draw on North American folklore so that makes sense to me.
