THE FLY: Winterland Redux

Image
THIS PAST FEW WEEKS, the bulk of my drawings have been character-only, with plain white backgrounds, mainly to save on time and also to add emphasis to the characterization.  So! It's been nice to add in a 'decent' background once again, and I will be doing more of these soon........the technique I prefer for this  is drawing the backgrounds small like thumbnails, then blowing them up. The characters themselves are shrunken into the enlarged background plate---I just love the idea of playing around with scale like this.

This one also needs a couple of word balloons, which will be added to the mix later. The shark character is just an incidental diversion for a one-off appearence. A good few more of these on the ways, including the finished versions of all strips. Most of these are all-new ideas not seen in the original 600 plus strips. RAB
