New comic, different style

I've recently been getting into raster (as opposed to vector) illustration. I'm a big fan of vector illustration (the kind that you produce using inkscape or Adobe Illustrator etc.) because of its elegance and ease of amendment. However, I also realize that, for detailed painting-style pictures, raster images (as produced by Manga Studio, Paint tool Sai, Photoshop etc.) are more flexible, and can give better results.

So here's the start of a new "Tableaux" comic, done in that style. This time, as an experiment, I'll be posting episodes as I complete them, so that blog updates will hopefully be a bit more regular. My idea is to run a few stories like this concurrently, and post updates when they're ready.

P.S. I'd like to thank everyone who has posted comments or suggestions. Even if I don't reply to them individually, they are all noted and appreciated.


Best wishes.
