Thus we reach the end of “The Moat Trilogy.” This is the last episode of 2011. I hope you all have a Happy New Year. (And I hope I remember to change the copyright notice to 2012)
I ran into a little trouble with this one. For a while, my working procedure has been to sketch the strips in a sketchbook, then scan the pencils into Photoshop, convert the pencils into non-repro blue, print the lettering, panel border, and pencils onto Bristol board, and ink. A combo of old-fashioned and new.
But apparently my printer ran out of blue ink. All I could print out was panel borders and lettering. So I had to pencil the strip in directly onto the board at the last minute. It’s essentially the same, though I had to rush a little.
Just as a point of comparison, here are some of the original pencils. Enjoy and I’ll see you next year!
