On a tangent, who's excited about Stranger Things Season 2 coming out today???
The long-awaited (at least for me!) Chapter Four installment of Maelstrom is finally here! And I tease you guys with a view of Hester's dirty shoes instead of her face. lol Due to my crazy senior semester schedule, I only have two more pages left of this chapter, and I don't know if I'll be able to build up a buffer until either Thanksgiving Break or after I graduate in December, so WE'LL SEE. I've been anticipating this chapter because of the super spoilery elements in it that I've had to sit on for two years. It's been mild torture. If my Patreon was up and running, Spoiler Level people would know what's in store, but I don't have enough content on there and I'm at a loss of what to do with the thing at the moment, so everyone's in the dark. With the exception of my sister. I HAD to tell someone.

Cornelia is realizing that something is up, and it definitely ain't legal! At least she can argue that she didn't have any idea what was going on in court if the crew gets arrested...
I threw in a pretty big clue in this page concerning who just got stolen from. I also messed up with the doors in the second to last panel because they're supposed to swing inside the cabins, not out into the hallway. UUUGGGGGGHHHH On a side note, the first two pages of chapter four (along with the cover) are done, but I haven't had time to work on any more pages because of Inktober, animation class, and tons of research for two different research papers for two different classes. Ergo, there might be a small hiatus until Christmas Break/Post-Graduation once the first few pages of Chapter Four are posted. I can't wait for this semester to be over... Questionable transactions going on... >.> <.<
There's going to be another update this Sunday with the last page of the chapter before we dive into the much-anticipated Chapter Four AKA Hester's Intro! As per usual for this month, here's links to my Instagram and tumblr for daily updates of my Inktobers. The lady in the last panel is Arnie's girlfriend, Maude. The guy on the left accidentally(?) ended up looking like Jayne from 'Firefly.' Might be because I was watching 'Serenity' at the time I drew this page... Also Arnie is like Wilson from 'Home Improvement' because you're never going to see his full face. lol This is definitely one of my favorite pages from this chapter, just because I had so much fun with the colors and images. This was also an opportunity to draw Trenton in his smexy jacket. No regrets. Also, just FYI, there's no more dialogue in this chapter; the visuals will speak for themselves, trust me.
On a side note I MIGHT be participating at CTN Expo this year at my college's booth to talk about their animation program and the university in general. I got an email out of the blue from the Cinema Dept. this week and had to sit and reread it a few times to let it sink in. I feel like I've been very blessed this year with the opportunities God has given me at college alone. Even though I never got that internship I applied for in August, the university library contacted me last week and said they wanted to hire me (Yay, gas/FOOD/Christmas monies), and late this summer the Cinema Dept. asked if they could use some frames from my Sinclairs' Child animatic as pictures for their department office, and my cousin started to contact me about working on my portfolio and resume since he knows some people in the industry and would like to get me connected. I'm just really happy and grateful for these little things that have happened, and I trust that God has got plans for me after I graduate. :) Welcome to the juuungle
I'm learning how to draw backgrounds...slooooowly learning. That second panel could be better, but eh. With these last few pages of the chapter, we're going to find out where the "Stolen Goods" title comes into play. I'm also doing Inktober again! The theme (for me at least) is my favorite DC Comics characters; I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to go all 31 days because I've got a lot of characters I like! You can check out the individual pictures as they go up on Instagram and tumblr each day, or wait until Saturday when I'll be throwing together all the pictures for the week into a post on here. |
