...as [livejournal.com profile] athelind so aptly put it...

Well, one week into the new NeverNever, and I'm very pleased. :) (I know, it's only been three days, but Higgins has sent me the art for Thursday and the roughs for Friday, so I have a pretty good idea what the rest of the week is going to be like.) So far, he's doing a bang-up job, and what pleases me the most is that he seems to have a very good grasp on the right "feel" for NN. For instance, at one point he sent me this as a reference for the kind of color palette he had in mind...

D'Awww, foxes!

My reaction was basically like, "Dude! You've nailed it!" Heck, I can almost see Arthur and Beowulf having one of those rambly autumn walks in the background!

It took me a bit of internal wrangling to let go at first; it was a little easier than it might have been because I've been working with [livejournal.com profile] katayamma on the color for SJ all this time. But really, what would be the point of getting another artist and then not taking advantage of that font of creativity? As long as we're on the same basic wavelength, then it's just a matter of smoothing out the wrinkles. And considering the indecipherable scrawls I generally do for storyboards, Higgins has done a pretty amazing job of extracting meaningful images out of them. Well done, dude! :)

So, I think, NN is in good hands. :) I hope the readers agree. :)

Heck yeah! Y'know, I never bothered reading Never-Never despite my love for SJ, because (as far as I could tell from the keenspot ads) it had fairies and humans in, and I don't like those. But when the relaunch was announced I plunged into the archives. I'm now fully caught up (as of yesterday) and a complete convert :)

Don't say "I don't like humans" aloud. It gives them heart attacks, you know.


Congratulations to [livejournal.com profile] the_gneech and [livejournal.com profile] higginsdragon for a most excellent and auspicious rekindling of that wonderful glow.

Awwwww! How cute!!! As for the comic's re-re-release, its great. :D No worries here. The only problem I have is trying to remember that I have to check NN regularly now. But thats a ferret problem, not an artist problem.

--Dook!

The art looks great. :) Reminds me a lot of SJ's current art, in fact. Impressive for a new artist to have captured it. :)
