Final thoughts on The Z Train November 23rd, 2010

I just posted the last page of The Z Train on deviantART (start at the first page here). I hope it was at least somewhat enjoyable.The whole thing will be added to the Comics part of this website as soon as I fix the handful of toning mistakes I made in my rush to be finished.

After going back through the comic again this month, one page at a time, I still have a lot of misgivings about the end product, but regardless, it is definitely nice to actually have an end product. Working on this comic proved that I could still draw and finish things while pulling full time hours at the Real Job… as long as I have a tight, immovable deadline. If I could only come up with enough ideas to work from, I could probably do one of these every other month or so. But the problem is the ideas.

So it’s not really a 24-hour comic since I had all month, but you get the same product, I guess. Except it would, theoretically, be of better quality since, you know, I had all month. HAAAAAAAA. THREE WEEKS INTO OCTOBER, I kind of sort of had some thumbnails of an idea. Kind of. So yeah, despite giving myself the month, I ended up drawing the whole thing in a week basically. While working fulltime.
