Hit a roadblock.

I seemed to lose a week or more struggling with the comic, which explains a bit of a gap in the blog posts. Once I started making some tentative progress i didn't want to interrupt that by blogging.

I think this was a combination of a a few factors: reaching a key scene that required a different approach; related to that, normally if I'm at all stuck or bored I just jump to another page, but this scene informed the pages that came after, so it didn't seem logical to create them with doing the earlier page first; I think having started my Major Project straight after handing in Semester 2 work, my inner beach bum was rebelling - needing a break; finally I think other things on my mind unrelated to the story were holding me back. So this combination of things did lose me some time, and I didn't want to sidetrack my fragile concentration into blog posts.

​Looking back it wasn't all fruitless, as with some time investment, I did come up with something far superior to what I originally planned. The following posts look at this in more detail.
