Final page (for the monent) and the external background around Hub Global is Charing Cross station (I super hope that empty bit of space wasn’t important. I mean, It’s a park right? There’s nothing else there???)

The posters on the wall are from holiday photos (Two from Stonehaven,  one from Brussels and a cheeky picture of Bear).

And hey, why don’t more businesses have a building show their initial on the actual structure?

(Also, yes, totally inspired from the Fantastic Four’s building back when they had a MASSIVE 4 on the top of it – which totally didn’t work if you thought about how the 4’s joined up but yeah, it was cool)

More soon! Bear hugs!

Page 4 and this layout will be used again in this issue (plus  I’m planning to use it again in issue #2). 

I had some weird ideas with Fenton’s upbringing…

But hey, it’s made him the hero this world needed!

Does that make it right though? Okay, that’s a thought for another day…

Leaving now! Bear hugs!

Looking back at issue #2 (Part 1)

Okay, so this seriously isn’t supposed to be a back patting exercise but I forgot how chuffed I am with the opening page!

My idea was that the sound effect would make you think it came from the ship but was actually Lloyd. And hey, this got me shaping rounding out ADDING to Lloyd’s character that he liked to eat (and hey, I get that!) and it became a continuing theme throughout the book.

So yeah, I’m very happy with the gag but more so that it got me fleshing out the character. And hey, Bear is grumpy! #standard

Sorry, I’m very, very, VERY happy with this page!

Okay, enough back patting! More soon! Bear hugs!

PS. Feels so super weird seeing these two flying a ship other than their own one. Super, super weird.

Page 3 and I have little to add to this.

I mean, I did have issues with issues with the cut marks on the sub! Okay, that’s probably not crazy news you care about but yeah, I put the cut marks (seen in the first panel) on the BOTTOM of the sub in the second panel. But hey, I noticed it so that’s a win right?

Right?!?

Seriously, that’s all I’ve got. Well, despite wishing I could have done some photo research by lobbing subs at a persons head and seen how it looked…

More soon! Bear hugs!

Page 2 and I had a wee issue with this one. I did the artwork waaaaay back during early lockdown but hadn’t originally given it a background.

As time went on I realised I wanted a background but realised that there’d be no point taking new photos as the trees were all leafless (Hey, I remember Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and I didn’t want seasonal issues happening here!).

So I waited. And then when the leaves came out I went and started taking photos but COMPLETELY forgot my location. So there I was taking pictures in Hyde Park and going home only to realise that they didn’t match with the original scene which I then worked out was taken at Victoria Tower Gardens! (Yes, this really mattered to me!)

And yes, this meant getting up early one day to get a photo of the park before it got busy (as lockdown had eased by that point). Totally worth it though as I love walking through a park when the sun is rising up and seeing it shine through the trees!

More soon! Bear hugs!
