It’s Veganuary and The Mac Factory, along with opening up a new store in Putney, has also released a vegan Mac & Cheese!
And hey, I’ve already done a few Mac Factory reviews which have always been positive so I’ve gone and brought along my (much) better half – and 100% vegan – to ensure that this review is 100% impartial!
And I really need a wee box to the left here to show that it’s different from the other things we’re doing just now! But hey, it’s early days. Like, very early days!
But still, it’s giving me an idea of what I’m capable off and what I need to do going forward and where to improve (Um, all of it?)
And this has been the culmination of my holidays! Erm….
Tomorrow, I’m beginning colouring issue #14 of LatB! Yay! Familiar territory!
More soon! Bear hugs!
So I’m still dragging my feet with my new project and not even done anything with it. I don’t know, I’m scared to even start and at this point I’m only doing character sketches to ensure that I’m happy with everyones look! But yeah, it’s freaking me out!
But hey, artist got to art so I’ve been working on updating the cover to issue #14!
Below we’ve got the original, updated and the UPDATED updated cover (which isn’t quite finished!)
So looking back at the original cover Rizos didn’t even look like she did IN the book(!). I made some changes and corrected things here and there but it still didn’t sit well with me. I mean, I get she’s talking to the reader but the cover is lacking any kind of action and looks stiff as!
The new cover has Rizos in an action pose although I’m totally going to have to redo what she says as she’s taking up so much more space – I have some ideas but it’s certainly a work in progress.
The background will be full of knocked out aliens again but this time totally matching characters from within the book and because of that I want to hold off until I’ve finished colouring the book so I can place the right character in the right spot which will then keep all the colour choices I use balanced. I’m not wanting a massive section of just blue aliens for example which will totally skew your view of the page! It’s bordering on some kind of big mathematical question but I’m sure it’ll be fun putting it all together!
More soon! Bear hugs!
I have finally, finally, FINALLY finished updating the pages of issue #14. I say pages as I really want to go and update the cover but all in all, yup, that’s me done!
And this here was my final panel and (yet again) it was adding fingers to one of the lead characters(!)
All in all, not a tough one to do so I was really thankful!
And thinking ahead for what work I’m going to do over the holiday season? Well I’m going to tinker with doing the new cover but I’m really hoping to play around with a completely new concept that I mentioned some time back but never spoke about again (oooh, mystery!). Then in January I’ll come back to doing the colouring for both issues #14 and #15 (which means I actually get to show you full colour panels for a change! Yay!)
And hey, maybe I’ll get back to doing some actual Urp! strips! I’ve really been terrible at keeping up to date with that!
But hey, more soon!
Bear hugs!
London Southbank always has a great food market on the weekends but over Christmas it really ramps things up with the addition of the Christmas market which adds a whole new range of tasty culinary choices every day of the week!
One of these choices (if it’s even a choice because, y’know, I see Mac & Cheese I have to have it!) is The Mac Shack!
