I've started doing some work in colour, see above. Anyway, normally colour would be one of the last things I would add and usually I don't get to use colour at all due to printing costs. I had hoped to do this graphic novel in colour, but hadn't thought I'd be addressing it so soon, even before finishing my character designs. A tutor has suggested I do it now, to help inform my line work I think. I've done some paintings ( watercolour and gouache respectively) and pantone pieces and it has been enjoyable. When I started doing Monstrum Horrendum I did some paintings and character studies in colour, really just for myself and to have a few colour pieces for the website if I needed them. I wish I could have done the whole thing in colour because even as I was writing it, I had such a strong pallette in mind. Often I finish comics and wish that I could pass it on to Dave Stewart or Laura Allred to colour (some day...sigh....). I think many small pressers are faced with this dilemma, and it is probably a big contributing factor in the rise of web comics.
Also, I am currently interviewing Paul Rainey via e-mail and Bryan Talbot has just confirmed that I can go and interview him! Will be putting it on my blog.
