Splitting Time

So Right now I have to Major projects developing. I've decided to halt work on Chapter 1 of About:Blank in favor of doing Chapter 2 right. 1 is really just a pile of action-y stuff that doesn't really work well if nobody understands who is who and the situation. The Second Chapter really has a lot more characterization to it. My Process for this is as follows.
- I review the original prose I've written line by line
and compile a very rough script of what actually happens.
-From that script I decide where page cuts and even panels end up.
-Now once I have the "Panel Bones" set up (by this time I know how I'd like the page to look) I sketch out the Characters (Each Panel actually takes up about a full page of paper.)
-Ink/Erase/Scan
-From here I have the option to color each panel in photo shop
-place the stock background in place a layer behind the characters if needed.
-Each panel is at this point still a single image file, In Comic Life! I Set up the page and the panel sizes, with that its just a matter of placing the images in their panels
-Add the dialog from the script
-resize anything that might need any tweaking, then once the full page is done I export it and its ready for DA.
Right now I'm also heavily into the Pre-Production stages with Sarah and our Project Flyboy and Kitty.
The Process should hopefully be similar to my About:Blank ethic, but however we get the pilot finished it will see a printed release.
I haven't decided if I want A:B available printed on any of the wonderful indie comic venues I've come across. Its more of a pet project for me, but Flyboy and Kitty is going for an intended print series, we'll see how this all works out.

In the end, the ocean has it's revenge.
Whether tomorrow or one hundred years.
I takes limbs and lives, and from the the wives
an equal ocean of their fallen tears.
