it ain’t easy being figrin d’an and the modal nodes

this is the first panel of a one-page gag strip i’m running in my friend morgan’s comic zine, presented here in colour. the comic was all drawn and lettered by hand on vellum or tracing paper, though i did the balloons, assembly, and colour digitally. i plan to build a lightbox this term, since i use tracing to tighten up my linework pretty frequently. for the less nerdy among us, from l-r: a random rodian, figrin d’an and the modal nodes (the mos eisley cantina band), ponda baba and dr. evazan (although he looks more like chalmun from that side). and baba is aqualish, but i had to take a dig at his walrus butt face.

work is coming along gradually. trying to keep myself busy while i don’t have class in session.
