Spectre

Shadow in the clouds

Considerable progress on the comic. Got valuable feedback from a couple of friends. On draft 4 and nearly ready to begin rough thumbnails which should give a pretty good idea of page count. I’m guessing it’ll be somewhere between 8 and 24. It’s changed so much already I’m curious to see how this latest draft survives the next phase. I put a couple of character sketches at the bottom if you’re curious.

In other news, the weather has taken a turn for the bitter cold and snow. It’s put a dent in our plans this week and into the weekend. If we skied we’d probably be a lot more excited. Before things got really cold, I went for a long run in Horsetooth and got to witness a truly epic inversion - Brocken spectre included.

Picture of my shadow on the surface of the clouds below Horsetooth Rock. This phenomenon is called a Brocken spectre and I’ve been trying to catch one for years.
