Thus our love story ends in the only possible manner. I can never understand these vampire chicks and their expectations. I mean, I love a good roast beef, but the end result is always, always going to be the same. Food is food. Dinner is dinner. Some lines you just don’t cross…

…and here we are at part four of Drake and Hildy’s romantic tale. Just one more vignette to go. Aren’t you excited?
A bit of business first. The sharp-eyed will note that the Kill Bob poster on the back wall is from the outstanding webcomic, “Marooned.” If you’re not reading it, you really should be. The “poster” is actually one of the desktop wallpapers that he offers free on his site.
The even sharper-eyed reader will notice that Hildy was viewing the Ardra website before going to bed (weird that she doesn’t seem to use a screensaver or shut off her monitor, though…). This only makes sense as the creators behind Ardra are back on track and making new comics again! (Go there!)
So… this comic today was a… pain. It took me TWELVE hours to complete… five of those hours were spent on the background room alone… and it isn’t even very detailed. It all started as an exercise in perspective. I had the script written, of course, and thought that I’d just draw the room in on large panel (5100 x 4000px) and then lay on the characters for each scene… kind of like those old Colorform playsets with the vinyl clings that we (we = old folks like me) used to play with as kids.
Of course, I forgot that the room would be no larger than 400px wide in any given panel, so most any detail I put into the very large image would be lost by the time it was actually in the panel… five hours wasted. I probably could have just freehanded the darn thing and gotten equally good results in an hour. Oh well… it’s good practice.
The remaining seven hours… characters and shading… characters and shading… Quick, thy name is not Dave!

Oh that crazy, Hildy! She just can’t see the truth… even when it’s a cold, ambulatory corpse standing right in front of her. I hope all of your Valentine’s Day celebrations go at least as well!
New contest starting in one week!

Yowza! This was the update that almost wasn’t. I kept trying to work in a new drawing style that would hopefully yield a very creepy vibe, but it was a no go, and I ended up trashing it and returning to my regular style. The lesson here first, is to develop a new style of drawing BEFORE the update is do. In any case, I was able to finish this while eating lunch, so that’s that.
So Drake and Hildy managed to meet up just in time for Valentine’s Day. Isn’t that nice? Nothing like a Vampire and teenage broomstick getting together to celebrate this most Hallmark of holidays!
