I never really did commission, (except for Fred) so it was quite a surprise when someone contacted me saying that they want to BUY my work, not to publish or anything, ,just to put it on the wall, whoa boy. even myself don’t have my own work on the wall, beside small printed out co_Okie flyer, LoL

and not only that, they want it BIG, to be exact, the size of two Mcdonald tables we were at. I never done anything bigger than A4 to be honest, I was hesitated but they even encourage me, plus the money is always good, so I said yes and even told them it would only take a week.

I got cocky, it took almost a month :P

The size was really big, I don’t have any table big enough to work on, at first I tried to work on the floor, but I’m getting old. my back was breaking. My dad suggest I should tape it on the wall instead. It was a bit better but not much, definitely not my idea of work condition.

Working on something this big is really not easy for me, only one good thing about it I can come up with probably that your stroke doesn’t really have to be precised. That alone isn’t worth all other troubles. Smudge is my number one mortal enemy, Because my hand sweated SO much that I actually smeared the ink after it was totally dried O_O

other trouble is copic, copic isn’t meant to be used in WIDE area, it was almost impossible to keep it even, even with wide tip.

looked like done, but not yet. I almost let it go like this because I know I couldn’t really keep copic paint even in wide area, and I don’t want to fuck it up, but our dear Fehed insisted I shouldn’t leave it like this. he suggested that I just put some shadow under Clarence and on tree. Then I remembered that I have three aircan for copic airbrush left, I decided to use copic airbrush for the sky, probably better than trying to paint it with copic normally.

came out not bad at all, looked definitely finished!

all that for 100$, can you believe it?

40 pages. All of them.

I finished it two days ago, putting together both PDF version for printing and web version is way more exhausting than drawing the comic itself T_T I wish I could use photoshop batch thingy, but I have bad memories about it, it locked up my pc and I can’t do anything except format. yeah, no batch conversion for me.

I really want more people to read this one, but I’m not sure how to go around promoting it *sigh*
