Digital pencils over digital rough on a surprised Sara.
Constable Abe Russell confronts bad liar Sara MacLeod. Digital inks. OH, JUST PRANKING SOME FRIENDS. A FEW PEOPLE CAME BY BEFORE THEY SHOWED UP, BUT I'LL TOTALLY TAKE IT DOWN NOW... .SHOULD'VE SEEN THEIR FACES. HILARIOUS. CRAZY TIME. WHICH FRIENDS? OH, YOU KNOW, UH. J-JACQUI AND HER BROTHER. THEY, UM, WANTED TO FISH, SO, I THOUGHT I'D KEEP THEM FROM DOING, UH, THAT. FISHING. JACQUI FISHES? SINCE WHEN? OH. WEEKS NOW THEY USE NIGHT CRAWLERS AS BAIT.

Digitally drawn rough pencils in Clip Studio Paint.
Back on my #TheWorldsBetweenUs rough layout bullshit.
I mean... I think most people can figure out the top 3 panels.
Panel 4? Well. Maybe? Non-spoilery. Two people talk Then look at... a thing?
Approximate word balloons.
Very tempted to print this book oversize...

Cheers for hosting!
Currently working on the climax of my first original graphic novel, a horror/fantasy set in my hometown in rural VT - #TheWorldsBetweenUs
onegemini.com/the-worlds-b...
21 page preview available at the website. Crowdfunding in July!
True story: about 16 years ago, Felicia Day replied to a tweet of mine for the first time, and I thought that was the be all end all of that. That was amazing.
If only that Blair knew that eventually [REDACTED].

Sara shields her eyes. Work in progress.
So here's a thing; this is a panel I just finished inking for #TheWorldsBetweenUs. Flashlight on Sara, who shields her eyes.
You'll notice there's not flashlight beam. I'm going to do that during the "coloring" (in grays).
Now I got that guilty little voice in ear that says "your work has gotta->
Sara shielding her eyes. Digital pencils over digital rough. Work in progress.
Sometimes I don't like drawing; I like having drawn.
But I do enjoy when I can do some pulling faces.
#TheWorldsBetweenUs
Constable Russell hears something and whips around. Work in progress. Digital.
Anyway...
Not too spoilery, but here's that panel turned out. No lighting effects yet, as I like doing that while putting in gray tones.
I didn't end up covering much of the midground SUV, so I don't feel bad about doing the extra perspective legwork.
#TheWorldsBetweenUs
Post a mage.
Incindifel Cozono'No Nullus, junior mage (with a possibly, um, borrowed battle mage armor).
#TheWorldsBetweenUs
A police SUV in black and white with it's door open.
The finished midground element SUV.

And #TheWorldsBetweenUs will still be self-published and even Kickstarted, put me in the hole. But I gotta do.
But yeah, no pub for that. That ship sailed on the day a pro basically yelled at me for thinking I was good enough to get a publishing deal. He was right.
Tali on my back.
I have a cat on my back. I want to get back to drawing my book, but I have another, non-cat-related assignment to finish first. Cos unfortunately, #TheWorldsBetweenUs doesn't pay the bills.
I hope they don't read this (they don't follow me on social media) but someone agreed to read #TheWorldsBetweenUs and give me a quote (if they like it).
Like, someone I wouldn't have imagined in a million years.
To go with the other good folks who agreed. I'm gonna have some great quotes...

Sort of inside "joke" to Phil.
I don't literally have a Green Arrow story... I just won't have that breakthrough moment. It's been too long. I'm too tired. I've got one pass left in me, and that's #TheWorldsBetweenUs. If that does nothing, I turn 50, I quit this full time job/disappointment.
Brad finds out he can't fish, while Sara hides nearby.
My father, Brad, makes a guest appearance as an unhappy would-be fisherman in #TheWorldsBetweenUs.
Panel 1 - a sign says closed for Morey Day prep. Panel 2 - Brad is sad.
From #TheWorldsBetweenUs, work in progress.
My father, Brad, disappointed that he can't go fishin'.
A new way to disappoint my father!

So. Yeah. I'm writing/drawing/lettering/coloring this book (outside editor).
I hope you like horror/fantasy. I hope you like this.

It's my own Project Hail Mary... as in, if no one likes it, I quit this biz as my full time job.
Check it out maybe?
Terrific work-in-progress from fellow Vermont graphic novelist @onegemini.com — Blair, you're taking it up to a new level! Thank you, sir!

Since I was busy during horror writers chat... #TheWorldsBetweenUs is a #fantasy/ #horror graphic novel I'm writing/illustrating, that'll hopefully have a Kickstarter launch this summer.
A 21 page free preview available!

Stones on chains grab Indy as he managed to get a knife thrown. Digitally drawn.
Bonus: Incindifel in mid-air, getting caught up on... stuff, and throwing a knife.

#TheWorldsBetweenUs - I'm writing the climax of the OGN, which is about 20 pages long, and contains a fight scene. I have it outlined page by page... but can't write the fight scene.
I can write dialogue for days, and draw fights with delight and talking with pleasure. BUT - writing fights seems ->
Sadly, while I might watch it, I doubt I'll draw much Fifth Doctor stuff. Gotta switch back to working on #TheWorldsBetweenUs, cos at least I can sell a couple copies of that, and no one is buying all this DW stuff I drew over the past few weeks. :(

After talking to a few peers, just to spitball it, if I were to be paid fairly by a publisher for my work on #TheWorldsBetweenUs writing/drawing/coloring/lettering, it'd be somewhere north of $87k.
Talk about money I'll never see. How successful would this book have to be?
HAHAHAHAAHHAHHHaaaa...

Hey, everyone, especially VT/NH/MA folks - tell @dmcomics.bsky.social that you want me at @granitecon.bsky.social 2026!
They don't have room for me right now, but it couldn't hurt to tell them you might attend just to chat with lil' ol' me.
