It doesn’t quite draw the eye to tell the story of the landing as much as we’d like, but we’re picky. We fiddled with it a lot, and would have fiddled more only at some point you just have to stop. The highly hatched hog-rocket landing generally pleased us. Also coloring is hard, so all black-and-white is nice, except shading with crosshatching is harder than coloring, so darn. We’re not great with the comic styling we were using in the previous comic, and don’t especially like it, so we were very happy to escape to this. Since Bat-Hog entered the graveyard Hogula is in, we got to make everything Goreyesque, which is good. It was mostly prep to get us to this comic. We didn’t go into the details of the previous comic since it was a little less exciting art-wise, and seemed pretty straightforward. 8: Count Hogula Part II (we forgot we needed a title until it was too late).

But the composition really tells the story of “hedgehogs built the pyramids and also are the reason people believe in flying saucers,” which is a story that needed to be told. We went with halftone shading, abandoning the proper clean shading of ligne claire stylization and regretted it a little, but there it is.ĭo you see how the plasma engine’s flaring obscures the line of the pyramid? We do. We spent a very long time drawing a background for this panel. The intense conspiratorial stare of Grand Quillmaster in the center is very pleasing to us. The currency stylization of the background doesn’t exactly make sense if you really think about it, so don’t. This is a very good title panel if we say so ourselves, and we do say it.
