Issue 1 page 16

Alder reveals her true talent: stating the obvious. Gotta hand it to her, skull and crossbone motifs are usually indicative of piraticalness.

Also, I got a review. Sort of, Everett Patterson of Savage Nobles made a brief mention of Calico Jack here. I think it's awesome, I get compared to Jaime Hernandez and I always find that flattering.

Issue 1 page 15

Yep.

Issue 1 page 14

Not much to say about this except... plumber butt?
Also issue two is nearly completely inked and ready to scan!

Issue 1 page 13

13 pages in and we meet our villain. Sort of. I imagine Captain Miller is pretty darned straight-laced as villains go, for some reason I decided that I didn't want the antagonist to be much of an actual "bad guy." Maybe because I don't think of Jack as being much of a "good guy."
As an aside I drew this page before becoming familiar with Hugo Pratt, now between the hat and the sideburns Miller sort of reminds me of Corto Maltese. Or maybe just a Good Humor man.

Issue 1 page 12

"Yeah? So What? Exploding Rockets are great!"

Issue 1 page 10 and 11

It's a page of Alder riding her bicycle. Not much else to say. I like the layout of this page but I seriously considered cutting the sequence of Alder going to the scrapyard to be much shorter. After getting some creative advice I elected to keep it as is. This sort of quiet page can actually work well for minicomic or a graphic novel, it's not so good for pacing in a webcomic though. I'm not so sure I can call this a webcomic but I can post two pages at once, so why not?

Sketchy Lettering

A few of my favorite artists will often upload some great sketchbook drawings on their blogs. So in the interest of trying something new I thought I'd do more inked drawings in my sketchbook and upload them too. What I'd like to do is use a different lettering style for the title in each issue so here I'm trying my hand it various types of lettering.
The big blocky one is my favorite, I sort of want that as a rubber stamp. What do you guys think?
