On the positive side of things, I haven't been able to update P&C because I've been working crazy hard on The Chronicles of Ademar. You'll see new pages soon though, as I AM making specific time this week to do the next few pages in this story arc. I want to have a little backlog of pages to dip into in case I don't have the time to work on P&C during the week (as the case has been for the past few times). So yes, new page next week, and if I can really get all the work done that I want to... possibly the relaunch of the Ademar website, too! We'll see what happens. Sorry about the delay, guys.

It takes a bit out of his personality. :-( Go ADD! Peter looks older with the shading. It takes a bit out of his personality. :-(

Go ADD!

However 10 types of grays seems a lot easier to remember than all the types of tones and the scaling and angles. Also on the web the grays seem to look a lot better.

With the shading, I agree that I need to push up the levels of gray, but at the same time I want there to be some consistency between the pages. My old palette consisted of four gray levels (including the near-black that I used from time to time), so to enhance the look I made a new palette with ten separate levels of gray. I'm in the process of making myself a reference sheet to show which levels are used for which characters (at least until I get it all committed to memory, which shouldn't take too long). I'll also start including highlights to brighten things up a bit. We'll see how the next page looks using the new palette.

Another update! I like the shading, but with shading also comes highlights. I think it'll brighten it up a lot if there were some slight highlights with it, as well as the shadows. They're like peanutbutter and jelly; hard to separate (the couch also felt a little dark). I would also like to see where this story is going. =) PS. I LOVE Peter's new.. look/color/shading/whatever. =) YES!!! Another update! I like the shading, but with shading also comes highlights.

The old way wasn't perfect either. Sometimes the colors or lack of them would cause things to blend into the background. I.E. http://www.peterandcompany.com/strips/2008-05-19.jpg Iggy's shirt on the first panel. Maybe the old style with more grays? I don’t know. The old way wasn’t perfect either.

Seth is TOTAl AWESOMENESS! I especially love the panel where he has the "shock sparks" as he reacts to the t.v. Whoohoooo Seth! I wish he was my guardian angel.

I think it's safe to say that the sepia was not the best idea I've had so far, but hey, this was an experiment in style and it looks like I'll be sticking with what already works. "If it ain't broke don't fix it," right? :) Thanks to everyone for the feedback! If anyone has any further comments on the comic in its present form, please do share, as I love to hear what my readers think and I want to make it as readable as I can. Lingonius: Ademar is indeed going to be a strictly for-sale comic, but the old pages that have "been up for ages" aren't even a part of the book anymore. I will be posting NEW sample pages and new materials sometime very soon. You can even see for yourself that the <a href="http://www.lilythepanda.com" rel="nofollow">Ademar site</a> has been taken down pending a complete redesign and relaunching. I'll have more info to post on that as I get the work done this summer. I went ahead and changed the comic back to the original grayscale.
