Hello!

So, prep for ECCC got the better of me this year, and I only had time to thumbnail the new page for this week before getting burried in a pile of commissions and con prep.

But since the page has no dialogue anyway, I thought I'd post the thumbnails. I... think they're legible?X3 Usually my rough page layouts never see the light of day, unless you're my editor or my patron, but I think it's fun to see how a page starts out. I've been inking Last Diplomat for so long, that I'll ink over these roughs once I have a moment to finish the page. I know most of the characters well enough that a rough sketch for placement is all I need, and it saves me a lot of time to not have to go back in and clean it up before I go back in and clean it up more!

Anyhow, like I was saying, I'll be at ECCC this week, Thursday through Sunday. I'm at Artist Alley table H-3, in a big block with my other Helioscope studiomates. Artist Alley got moved to a different floor this year, so I won't be on the main exhibition floor this year.

Please come by if you're going to be at the show! I have a bunch of cool stuff on my table, including a printed version of chapters 1-3 of The Last Diplomat. Mention that you're a reader here, and I'll do a free sketch for you! I have a feeling I promised this last year, and then got so excited I forgot, so if I forget, just remind me. I tend to get serious Con Brain at shows, expecially if the show has been going on for a few days already!

Hope to see you there!
