What I really miss even more than the story is working in greyscale. Eryl is a constant struggle for me because I’m NOT a colour artist. It’s one reason that my colour works are often very monotone. I’ve considered more than once switching Eryl to greyscale, but decided against it every time. I hate it when colour comics turn b/w, and Eryl I think is a story better conveyed in colour. So the only greyscale comic I have right now is Easily Amused. But it’s done digitally, not traditionally like Fawna’s Quest, and working in pencil is something I really want to do again. You can take it anywhere without having to need a power outlet or somewhere to put your tablet. I also liked how pretty the pencil pages looked once I finished them. There was also a finality about them. Once drawn and shaded and scanned, I couldn’t keep going back and adjusting things like I do constantly in Eryl. I’m such a perfectionist that I will kkep doing things over and over. I was forced not to keep tweaking in FQ once a page was finished because it was done traditionally.

So once Chapter 2 of Eryl is over, the comic will be going on break until January or February of ‘10 while I work on scripts and drawing chapter 1 of FQ. I’d like to have a few chapters of the redux done before it actually goes up. So I’m shooting for FQ’s 4th anniversary- May 21, 2010. BUT it all depends on how much I’ve gotten done by then. So it may be later than that.
