Crikey Duck issue 1

Crikey Duck and all characters therein (c) Tania Walker and Vicki Eden.

Gasp! It's sequential art! This is the first page of a page-per-week webcomic ~ blitterbug and I are working on. It's an ongoing story, character-based.

The comic has it's own website, located at CRIKEYDUCK.COM (www.crikeyduck.com), and I won't be uploading any future issues to DevArt, so if you want to follow the comic, please bookmark the website!

You might wanna zoom in to see this. Curse you, Dev! Curse you and your puny thumbnails!

Like a multi-limbed gestalt entity, ~ blitterbug and I share duties on this comic; we live in the same house, so doing these things is a very interactive process. Officially, we come up with ideas in group sessions, I write most (but not all) of the scripts, Vix does the ruff pencils, I do the clean pencils, Vix does the coloring and lettering, Vix designed the website, and I handle uploading and maintenance.

In reality, we work together on just about every stage; I'll make corrections to the ruff, she'll make corrections to the clean pencils, I get input into the coloring, and we both tweak the dialogue once it hits Photoshop stage.

I'm hoping I get faster and sleeker with the clean pencils, because right now that's the slowest part. We really want to try to get a finished page per week out, so wish us luck! Let life not interfere too much.

Should this experiment actually succeed, I'm hoping to print and sell yearly collections - roughly fifty comics per book. We'll see how we go.
