On the top is my rough layout sketch, underneath is the (almost) finished image. (These are details from a 9 panel page).
I have calculated that I need to draw, ink and paint 8 pages a week to get this finished on time. I don't think it's very achieveable, but you never know. I almost managed 6 pages on Wednesday, but I think that was just a good day.

Here's me and Matt messing about with barongs in the back garden recently. It's a good sign when Matt pulls this face, it usually means you got something right or he's about to tell you about some cool varient.
The Ron Balicki seminar is coming up soon, including the gradings. Ron is cool, not just because of his awesome martial arts skills or his excellent teaching abilities, but because he's worked on stuff like Buffy and Alias and the Power Rangers and The 3 Ninjas: High noon at mega mountain.
Today was the second of our Friday morning fight clubs, where me, Andy, Matt and Sam get together and spar (or 'hit each other with sticks' in laymans terms). I took a bit of a pummelling today, looks like that elbow is fated to never heal. My hand is a bit mangled too, although I have to admit it was a sweet hit on Sam's part, he managed to get the only part of my hand that wasn't protected.
Back to the grind stone now, I'm going to try and get some more pages done before I head home. Then I have a fun weekend of essay writing ahead of me. Hurrah.
