By the time I'd finished the first book my intentions of submitting it to a publisher had pretty much evaporated; indie snobbery was infinitely more fun than constant rejection. So, without a publisher printing costs hardly seemed like something that concerned me anymore, which tempted me to open the Forbidden Door of Color. However, I still had delusions of maintaining Canto I's M/W/F update schedule, and full color seemed prohibitively time-consuming if I gave it any depth, while flat fills seemed like they'd just be a garish mess of no definition. The compromise? Flat fills in limited, character-specific palettes and a drab, sepia-like tint to all my grayscale backgrounds. The result was just quirky enough to seem like a good thing, so I stuck with it. Visually this is probably my favorite Canto so far, except where the character color theme thing goes hideously awry in the garish vomit circus that is page 23. |
