It's time for me to pick up some new skills! A project that I'm working on at the moment with Jack Tempest is progressing nicely. I haven't mentioned much about this one because, well, we've been moving forward very quickly on it. I say 'we' but what I really mean of course is Jack. Dude works fast, and I've just had to keep up. I'll post more about it once the submission pack is done and sent off.
It's been fun. I've been enjoying working on this project immensely, and seeing the pages of artwork coming in has made me feel like a proper writer again.
But to the new skills - I have decided to have a stab at lettering this project myself. I've never done it before, so I will shoulder the blame if it all cocks up. Lettering seems to be one of those skills that's very easy to do badly and incredibly difficult to do well.
Roland has been kind enough to offer me a few pointers, and I've had tons of fun just mucking about in Illustrator assembling the speech balloons and captions.
So hooray for doing things I've never done before!
Darren Ellis writes, except when he doesn't.
When he doesn't he's more than likely doing something sedentary and fun, like playing video games or reading a book. Or procrastinating over what he's supposed to be writing.
Oh yes. He does that last one quite a bit.
