The Darkest Hour p. 6 (bw)

I have started posting the sketch pages of my comic to my Wordpress webcomic site, gawaincomic.com. Because I am no longer satisfied with the beginning of the tale of Gorlois and Ygraine, I decided to rewrite and redraw it, and I thought I might as well use the new pages as a test case for my definitive comics pages. So here is the new page 6, still to be coloured.

After a detour via A3, I have finally decided to draw on A4 size paper - or adopt the manga format, if you like, rather than the American or European comics formats. Let's just see how this works out. Personally I feel more comfortable drawing A4-sized pages, plus I can also scan them on a normal-size scanner. So yes.

I intend to draw and ink some more pages (I think they will be 5 or 6 in total) and then paint them all together.
