Color Version.
Some of you might think that I have something against using color. Well that’s not the case. I love to digitally paint. You can even see examples on my Deviant art page. The truth is that it’s just too long a process and I don’t have the time. I’d rather post more black & white story than spend time adding in Color. Even though it is hella fun. This was an experiment to see if I could work faster with color and have a better product. For a moment I thought I could… then the following page did not come out well. I got stuck, frustrated and ultimately realized that I needed to go back to B&W. Now that I have the Cintiq up and working for the Digital Inks, limited color might be coming. But only if it does not impact speed. Which is the ultimate issue here.
Incidentally Happy 88th to Actor James Hong. Mr. Hong has played many roles over his career, but for me, none so noted as the Villainous Lo’Pan from Big Trouble in Little China. That movie was a favorite of mine and was part of the inspiration for this Web Comic. The idea of Chinese Sorcery and Black Magic really gave me the idea for the backdrop of WOTUF. I remember when I was playing the White Wolf Mage the Acension Roleplaying game I actually came across LoPan’s fortress in one of the Source books. I always wanted to run a Big Trouble in Little China sequel as a Mage game. I thought it would be awesome. Bring in Egg Shen and Jack Burton… sweet…
