The Ellie Connelly rewrite is now up to page 68, with a full ten pages of new content added in so far over the first draft. I'm anxious to finish it so I can try to get some feedback from a few people before I begin drawing pages. My plan for layout is very simple, I shouldn't even need to do extensive roughing for this story. Used to be that I'd script and rough at the same time, which took easily four to five times as long to script a page, since I was making it all up as I went. The way I'm planning this one, though, is to do each page as a series of four equally-sized strips of 2-5 panels each. I've written the script with each 'strip' broken out already, so I have a pretty good feel for how each one will look already. My hope is that this will cut down on the time it will take to finish a page. Of course, I'll still have to be drawing 8-20 panels per page, so, ugh. but, I'm getting closer, and that's what matters.
