The squad enters the command post not knowing the Flyer has appeared on the ridge.The blood effects are a combination of Photoshop pngs and flash.
This page has a whole lot of little tiny people running around and if you don't visit the flash version and zoom in on the details, I've just wasted my time. Smile

After shooting up the newly arrived squad, Leyna turns her attention to her real target, Laura. The firing effects in frame 3 turned out well, and the sound effects add a bit to the action. There's also a neat blur effect on the rifle in the fourth frame.

Lenya charges the thin ring of men protecting Laura. It took quite a while to get this page out... Joe thinks he needs a day off... HA!

This page is the first page that features the new "Digital Haggis Pro" Font. Joe will be going back into the pages and replacing the hated comics sans for the printed version.

I tried a new panel type for this page. I think it turned out okay. I like the way the center panel turned out, I was worried that the Flyer wouldn't come off right... The page was delayed for 3 days because a virus too out our main computer and it had to be completely reformatted...

This was a hard page to pull off... I really like how panel 3 turned out and Laura's fear of losing her precious watch come through well. I wasn't sure if the last two frames were going to work, with the size difference between Ivan and the cat, but I think in end, it blends well together. The font is still being edited, but it's pretty close to finished.

Just 2 more pages and the chapter is done... no more tents or flyers or biplanes or orange colors, no more remembering where the damn sun is supposed to be in every shot or what direction is what .. wheeew -_-

Chapter two is going to be completely different, I'm really looking forward to it.

This has got to be the longest action scene in a comic ever? Smile

I know... I'm not sure if its a good or bad thing. The script for the first chapter was only 16 pages... I didn't think it's would end up being this long, but we really wanted to be able to show the action and not have it just a series of close up head shots. I'm hoping the extra time paid off. This is the last page of action, the last two pages of the chapter will be in a totally different setting.

One more page and the chapter's over... I really like how this page turned out. The bottom frame is almost all done in flash, only the mist and clouds are done in Photoshop. We spent an extra four hours on drawing plants and grass, but it was worth the extra effort. If you check out the flash version, you can zoom in and read the text on the laptop.

This is the final page in Chapter One. There were some specific things I wanted portrayed on this page, the colors of the sunset, the trees and the Peru like rocky hills. We'll be going back into the comic and retouching up the pages for print over the next few weeks.
