I started this “Story” a ridiculously long time ago.

It was initially started for Mythography #3 as a 3 page story/vignette.  Editor Michael Cohen had a 3 page opening, but after penciling and partially inking 2 pages I soon realized the “story” wasn’t going to fit in the allotted 3 pages so I scrapped it and sent in 3 pin-ups instead.

A couple years later I pulled out the 2 unfinished pages and light tabled them to new paper so I could start fresh but again dropped it when I realized I didn’t have the layouts for the original third page.

During my hunt for old short stories and pin-ups I ran across the story again and thought it would be fun to finally finish it, given that I’m putting together a collection of my short stories from those years. I also found the layout/rough pencils to the original third page this time around.

So, I imported the story into Clip Studio, cut the layouts to page 3 up to expand it to 4 pages to get the story to fit, and started re-pencilling everything digitally.

I’m probably going to tighten up a few details before starting to ink, but this is usually as far as I go with pencils.

I’ll post the final inks once they are done!
