I'm going into today feeling great. You see, yesterday I edited down 5 pages of the LukeKen script. The first half is now a lean machine. Sheered useless panels. Smashed character lines together to be focused. ...Now to suffer through the same long procedure for the second half of the script, ha ha.
To be honest, I haven't written much of the last act, mostly the sex scene left unwritten. It'd be better to directly thumbnail that out. It's easy to write a play by play, but that's not nessecary in comics. Plus it'd be exhausting to draw all of that out. With thumbnailing you have to consider page layouts that flows and reads well for the eye. Sex scenes in comics are my most laborious because I still want to fit it into the rules of comic storytelling. And then when it's time to draft and ink those pages all the muscle reference comes out, and it feels like I'm forced to study right then and there. It's tiring, I hate looking at it by the time it's done but I can only hope it's worth the trouble in the end.
When I was on twitter everyday, I could see every news update from Capcom as they happened and react in real time. Then an hour or more later, I would see the news posted by the few FGC creators on Youtube rehashing what I already knew. I would watch if I was curious about that person's opinion on the subject.
But since I stopped being online every day I'm so grateful for these news updates. This morning I saw them talk about SF6's new master rank system. One of the new additions are character colors for reaching Master?! I might have to actually play rank instead of cozy Battle Hub for the next year+ to get purple-haired Ken. Oh no...oh no...!! I've been wanting fun colors for my favorite old men, and they finally gave me funny purple-hair Ken. Someday for Ryu perhaps.
