Pencils, Inks, Colors, Oh My!
How’s it Lookin’, Boss?
Development news, a glimpse into the future, and more regarding Fray in the Veil down below!
Haven’t heard of Fray in the Veil? Well, lucky for you, I have a convenient link riiiight here! There you’ll find a breakdown of FITV, as well as an FAQ that may answer your burning questions.
Now, time to dive into the meat n’ potatoes of the report.

Wow! Look At That Pretty Pencil Work!
Is it weird to call them the “pencils” if its all sketched digitally?
Well, that’s what I call ‘em. And, up until recently, that’s what I’ve been working on. But, I can now proudly say that the pencils for Fray in the Veil issue #1 are all finished!
That’s 27 pages of riveting story, plus one bonus page (more on that later) all sketched out and ready for inks.
Speaking of Inks…
Okay, look, I know they’re not really “inks”, but its comics tradition, alright?
Regardless, inks are the current task on the comic-making agenda. And, I’m quickly finding out, that I enjoy inking comics about a thousand times more than penciling them. Pencils take effort, energy, and brain power. But, inks? Baby, I’m just tracing my lines and makin’ them look purrty.
And I’m making good time, too! Currently 5/28 pages are inked and more are underway.

So, What’s Next?
Well, after the inks are finished, it will be time to color it all. Once colors are done (and some final adjustments) FITV #1 will be ready to read!
“Wait,” I hear you say, “What about the words?”
Good news, they’re already done! Perhaps a little unorthodox, but I lettered the comic right after pencils were finished. So, technically speaking, it is a functional comic, just not quite polished.
But, that’ll be rectified in due time! Now, I believe that wraps everything up—
Wait, Didn’t You Say Something About a “Bonus Comic”?
Ah, yes! How could I forget?
As mentioned before, FITV #1 will consist of 27 pages of story. But! It will also include one bonus page involving a side character by the name of Cosmic Joe. Where did he come from and where did he go? The world(s) may never know!
And, not only will FITV #1 have a bonus page, but so will every other issue to come!
Okay, For Real This Time…
Now, that wraps everything up.
