Two strips for next week pencilled and lettered. Inks and colours to follow.
After that it's one perhaps 2, might increase the frequency just so it's all wrapped up (no pun intended) before Christmas.

The two strips are done.
Think there will be two more to go which takes the full amount up to 54 strips, which will make 27 pages when it's collected next year.

Really loving these strips Andy - kept me relatively sane in the build up to my viva. How much will the paper edition be?

Thanks Chris.
Not sure yet, the paper edition will be A5 as it needs to be in colour. Unlike The Daily Straxus it was done with colour in mind. Have a few places sourced but need to get the page count finalised.

Thanks.
The image is a riff on The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner.
Will scan/colour it tomorrow.

 Needs some edits and concentric circles for the noise effects and it's good to go. Andy |

Looks good but weren't you going to add some musical notes to that wavey thing around Magnus?

I am. That's why I said that cover dress was added and not that it was all finished!

Yep.
First run is for Dunfermline Comic Con and what's left will be available soon after. I'll of course do a second run if demand requires it. Plus I'll need some for the London TF Meet, BiG, Glasgow Comic Con and TFNation!

Several of the strips have been redrawn in places (mostly so Magnus looks like CW Magnus) but a few of the fancy Photoshop gimmickry is away.
The reason is I have gone to the old Marvel US palette with variations on CMYK in 25% increments and halftones only.
I had to make a notebook with the colour values for characters.
I'll show a few new takes on them presently...

Actually no it wasn't.
Drawing MTMTE Thunderclash was tough going, as I have the G1 version in my head as a default. Took as long as several of the other strips!
