Oyster War Sample Page Pencils

While it’s true that I’ve not posted anything here for a good while, there’s a compelling reason I’ve not done so: I’ve been hard at work on the initial twelve pages of Oyster War (12 pages of art/15 pages counting flip).  I just completed pencils on the pages and am set to start inking this afternoon or tomorrow.  The pages have been taking significantly longer than with most of my previous work I think for two reasons:  First, the level of detail in backgrounds and environments is much higher than I usually do.  Second, I’m working with four–rather than three–tiers of panels since I’m wanting this book to eventually be the same size and shape of those oversize-ish TinTin books.  Here’re the pages so far, splayed out on the floor of my studio.  I’ll pick a page throughout the process–probably that spread I posted a scan of a while back–and repost it once inked, then when it’s finally colored.
