Giant Days 49: John pencils, Max inks
Added 2020-07-29 15:24:04 +0000 UTCI filled in on art for Giant Days #48 alongside writing it (one of two issues of the Boom run that I drew, along with the 2018 holiday special). But my chores extended into issue 49, where I pencilled a number of the pages. Max then inked them. I think you will find the process of comparison very interesting. What a flipping glow-up.
Giant Days volume 13 (containing issues 49-52) is out today!

I love the idea that it might be for "emotional emphasis", you ascribe a level of sophistication to me that I don't think I possess. The magenta drawings are on a separate layer, I usually use that technique when two characters interact in a tricky way, so I don't end up erasing half of one figure trying to get the second one right. Sometimes I just need to move a figure around in relation to another so I put them on a different layer, for the same reason.
