A kind and generous soul with a keen eye has snatched up the sketch for page 28. Thank you! If you were considering it and didn’t get your donation in time, don’t let that stop you! I’m more than happy to do an ink sketch just for you. As I’ve already said, times are tough so take advantage of me when I’m offering myself up cheap!
The original version of page 23 is still available. This is a finished drawing complete with all the bells and whistles. I’ll not be selling finished drawings like this anytime soon. When the pages from this book do become available, I promise they will not go this cheap. A donation of only $85 and you can make a home for this fine piece of art.

In the interest of generating some desperately needed funds, I’m making the unused page 23 available for sale. The first person who donates $85 or more through Paypal will be the proud new owner of this little gem. This page is ink, colored pencil and watercolor on Arches watercolor paper and is 12″x16″. Please be generous as the need is dire. Shipping expenses will be included in the donation. Here’s the piece.

I still have this drawing for page 28 available as well. The first person to donate over $35 through paypal will get this drawing with all shipping and handling included. The drawing measures 12″x16″ and is ink and graphite on Arches watercolor paper. Please find it within yourself to spend a little money on a valuable work of art to help support this project. Thanks for your consideration.

It’s safe to say that I am a perfectionist. This post will make apparent the extent of my affliction. When I posted the final page 28, I promised to post these preliminary images and I described them as ’surprising’. What will be probably most surprising about them is how close they are to the final. Folks who have seen these and the final page together just shake their heads and often can’t pick out the differences. See if you can spot where I went ‘wrong’.

Since this second image is so near completion, I’m going to offer it up to the first person who makes a donation of over $35 using the link to the right. Normally any donation of over $25 gets a black and white drawing such as this but this one is bigger and therefore more expensive to ship. If more than one person donates, non winning donations will get a regular black and white sketch. Even at the higher rate, I promise these sketches pass my rigorous perfectionist criteria and are sure to please!

In other news, some new links have been posted to the links page. They include a link to ComicSpot, Sinus Camera, Pixel Rain, and a wonderful new webcomic, Desert Story, by Klos. These fine sites have already linked to me so when you’re done here, please visit them and show your support.Thanks, everyone!
