Wow. I didn't realize I was already at 50 comics. I should have done something to commemorate it, but since it's so late, I figured a regular comic was the best option.
There's not much to say about the making of this one. For the next comic, I'm going to try something a little bit different. I've been watching the drawing broadcasts of Jeph Jacques (Creator of the legendary comic Questionable Content). Seeing how he draws it gives me an idea at how to do mine.
I'm going to draw Khatru 51 in pencil (regular, average pencil), then scan it directly, without inking it. Then, I'll make the background layer transparent, and use my electric pen dealie to trace the pencil and delete the pencil layer afterwards. Hopefully, this will speed up comic production. I'm not good enough with the pen yet to draw Khatru completely digitally; this is the compromise I came up with. While I'm tracing, I'll also be training myself on the pen, and I might someday be able to cut the pens and pencils out entirely. Even though drawing with pencil is way more fun than digitally drawing things.
