Description

Lesson number 1: How to hide your mistakes by shading them to death…

*Moof* I hate this page so darn much. It’s the one I produced in a rush (bad idea) and ended up ‘goofing up’ when it came to the inking. Even though its general purpose is as an experiment concerning technique, I still hate it all the same. The characters are out of proportion, the perspective is off, the room doesn’t look how I want it to and there isn’t enough detail… blargh! The lesson learned, therefore, is never to rush the planning and eventual producing of a comic layout… or else it will inevitably look like a sorry dog’s dinner.

I think I’ve mentioned this scene from The String of Pearls once before. This happens in the first chapter, when a seafaring man named Thornhill enters Todd’s shop with his dog and casually mentions that he is carrying pearls to deliver to his friend’s sweetheart. Of course, knowing this, Todd isn’t about to let him leave the shop unharmed, and swiftly does away with him.

I think I’m going to work on Thornhill’s character a bit more… not too happy with the way he looks here. *Sigh* No rest for the wicked.

Oh, I remember this bit XD
Now looking at it through here, I can just imagine Sweeney's patience is about to blow a fuse. He just can't wait for the normal customary delight... >:3
