Super quick one! I’ve been busy with another project which is why I’ve not been able to post any updates here!
But hey, the last few days I’ve been scripting out the final pages of Lloyd and the Bear #12 and will be back to drawing it out starting next week!
If you’re missing adventures from the universe of Lloyd and the Bear don’t forget to check out Urp! The Musings of a space trucker! Available at Tapas.io
More soon! Bear hugs!
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but sometimes I really wish I’d given Lloyd a four letter name.
It just balances out better against Bear and although I could always shrink Lloyd’s name when using it in a title it then looks super skinny.
Haven’t looked again at the logo I put together yesterday I couldn’t help (#standard) to tinker with it and match it up with the main logo used on the book but now I have the worry that it’s not overly clear!
What do you think? Do you prefer one over the other?
And hey, notice I don’t talk about wishing I had made Bear’s name bigger? Ooh! Now imagine LLoyd and the BBear! Erm…..
Okay, more soon! Bear hugs!
I’ve been working on a new logo for a promotional piece that I’ll be using at conventions but I have to admit that I’m really, really liking it!
Kind of like enough to be using in other things including maybe even the cover? I don’t know, but I’m buzzing with how it’s turned out.
The thing is, it reminded me of an old logo I once tried using on the book covers!
So yeah, that’s the new logo on the left (the colours are a work in progress) and then the old one on the right. There’s some similarities there, right?
More soon! Bear hugs!
PS. I know, I know! Comic Sans… and on the cover no less!!! What was I thinking?!?
When putting together the penultimate page of issue #12 – which is also the last scene in the issue where Bear talks – I had a very clear vision of what I wanted the update to be.
The thing is, as I put it together I realised I could use the same sound effect that I’d used back in the scene with Constable Shuffable showing the guys his safe room. I don’t know why, but I’m really happy to have done this!
Now sure, you could argue it should be more of a clicking noise but hey, I REALLY WANTED TO USE THE ‘PLINK!’ NOISE AGAIN!!!
More soon! Bear hugs!
PS. This sure is a different page from the original, right?
I showed you the other day a page from the updated issue #12 that I’d updating twice. Well, I’ve gone back and made even MORE changes to it!
You see, I felt that the sergeant (the main guy here) had lost his distinct voice but the issue was that in making him sound like he should it meant he was using words that younger readers might not get! The solution? Have the other officer – who is very much the comedy character of the two of them – explain the word!
You know, I might be using this trick a lot more… And hey, do you think I can promote this book as being educational now?
Anyways, this is absolutely the last time I’m going to update this page! Honest!
More soon! Bear hugs!
