I would post the rough pencil for this one…But there is no rough pencil! I was scraping the cartoon barrel last night, hating all the ideas in my sketchbook. Taunted by my gray, pencil lined mediocrity and a looming deadline, I ducked out to procure some caffeine from the cafeteria, came up with this idea, scooted straight back to my drawing board, took a deep breath, and started inking. Took me about an hour.
I remain hopeful that that doesn’t happen today…
– Bonus art student tech tip: When I scanned the inked drawing, and looked at it on the screen, I felt that the sword blended too much with the armor breast plate, so shot for time, I splodged white-out along the bottom tip of the blade, (not hard to spot for the fastidious and eagle eyed among you…), rescanned the cartoon – and it magically looked okay!

I can’t help but think China and Russia are in kahootz:
China makes a communist dog-and-pony show out of the Olympics while Russia does a little ethnic cleansing. Nothing has changed since the wall fell.
Wow Matt! Love your white-out skills. Your readers’ comments leave a little less to be desired.
