Rainbow: 20 days of HELL! Last three days!
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 17:39:43 GMTWe are now 17 days into our 20 days of HELL! We were up until 5am last night which is now what we do. We're pretty exhausted right now and can't wait for this to be over. But even with all the semi-sleepless nights, this is totally going to be worth it!
So, we're down to the wire now, here's where we're at...
34 of 36 pages drawn
34 of 36 have the flats finished
27 of 36 have the full foreground tone done
18 of 36 at have the all artwork totally finished
36 of 36 have the layout lettering finished
36 of 36 have full lettering finished
Okay, the above looks pretty bad...but we're closer then it looks here. A lot of the stuff is just a bit away from being finished, and the foreground color that has to be done is not nearly as bad as some of the other pages we've done. Sadly though, there are still 4 more pages to draw...and one of them is a crazy double page splash. So yeah, not fun.
Anyway, here's some preview pages to tide you all over!
Page 13 just needs a couple effects!
...page 17 just needs the effects and a couple of background bits.
...and page 29 does still need pretty much all the color, but it's not nearly as bad as what came before it.
Okay, so we've got three nightmare-ish days ahead of us. Our fingers are crossed that we can get it all done. Wish us luck!

Rainbow: 20 days of HELL! Seven days to go!
Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:21:38 GMTWe are now 13 days into our 20 days of HELL! We were up until 5am last night...again. But frankly, we're starting to get used to it in a strange way. We even tried to go to bed at the decent time of 2am on Saturday and ended up wide awake in bed. Ugh. So it looks like the schedule is set for the next seven days!
Stuff is getting done though! Here's where we're at...
30 of 36 pages drawn
28 of 36 have the flats finished
25 of 36 have the full foreground tone done
15 of 36 at have the all artwork totally finished
32 of 36 have the layout lettering finished
6 of 36 have full lettering finished
Well, we've got seven days here, and the question is - can we do it' Only time will tell. But in the meantime you can take a look at our progress!
The Cover is finished! We should have had this done a while ago for promotion purposes...but just didn't get around it. Even so, we really like how this turned out!
Page 14 is finally just about finished! This is one of the pages we've been showing off in it's various states. You can scroll down in the full blog to see the earlier versions.
...and yes, still, there are some pages that are in the rough stage. But, it the final lines on this should be done on page 26 today!
Okay, it's just past noon here and that means it's time to get to work! Wish us luck!

Rainbow: 20 days of HELL! Half way through!
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:14:03 GMTWell, we are now 10 days into our 20 days of HELL! We were up until 5am last night and suspect it will be the same today. But we're getting done, if only by the skin of our teeth. Here's where we are thus far!
Thus far we've got...
28 of 36 pages drawn
26 of 36 have the flats finished
23 of 36 have the full foreground tone done
11 of 36 at have the all artwork totally finished
32 of 36 have the layout lettering finished
Again, it's a massive amount of of work left...but we're plugging away.
As with each post we're putting up a few pages so you can see the progress of what's goin' on here. Weeeeeeee!
First off, we are more then a little happy to report that the massive beast that is page 12 is fully finished - thank God!
Also, page 2 (which on first glace may have seemed like a simple page, but for ALL the family photos that had to be created from scratch) is fully finished. Pretty darned proud of this one if we do say so ourselves!
...and then there are pages like page 29 that are only in the rough stage. Yikes. Which is not even to mention page 8-11 which have yet to even be rough out - double yikes!
Well, that's all we've got for you guys today. It's only 2pm and we're already exhausted. Too bad we've got a solid 13 hours of work ahead of us...yay...
Until next time, we remain,
Comfort & Adam

Rainbow: 20 days of HELL!...update!
Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:16:20 GMTWell, we are now 7 days into our 20 days of hell as we continue to kill ourselves in order to finish Rainbow in the Dark #6. Today marks us having to move our days from 14 hours to 16 hours.
Thus far we've got...
26 of 36 pages drawn
26 of 36 have the flats finished
20 of 36 have the full foreground tone done
24 of 36 have the layout lettering finished
Still, a ton of work ahead of us as we start to countdown the next 14 days leading up to the deadline. It's going to be really super tough...but we're hopeful.
Like last time we're putting up a few pages so you can see the progress of what's goin' on here. Enjoy!
Lineart for the cover of Rainbow in the Dark #6 featuring The Veratu and his Cleaner
First page of Rainbow in the Dark #6...and first finished page! If only they were all so easy...
Page 16 - this one should look pretty epic when it's finished!
Well, that's it for today. We'll meet you all back here on Friday to catch you up with more of our progress!
See you all soon,

Rainbow: 20 days of HELL!
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:36:13 GMTWell, we are now 5 days into our 20 days of hell as we try to finish Rainbow in the Dark #6. We're currently working about 14 hours a day...but we'll probubly up that to around 16 come Monday. Well, this continues to be a hell of an issue here!
Thus far we've got...
24 of 36 pages drawn
22 of 36 have the flats finished
12 of 36 have the full foreground tone done
18 of 36 have the layout lettering finished
...so what we're trying to say is we've got a lot of work ahead of us. Yeah.
Anyway, here's some pages to see where we are in the color progress. Two of them have full foreground tone and one Comfort's only been able to hit Luke and Becky.
The totally insane page 12 which you've all seen in several different iterations. This only has the foreground tone done, but compared to all those people, the background will be a snap!!!
Page 14 with just about all the foreground color finished. This was a bad one...but not nearly as bad as page 12. Blah.
...and lastly page 17. This is clearly in the initial tone stages...but by the end of today, this and 6 other pages should have all their foreground tone finished!
Well, that's all for now. Hopefully in our 16 hour day of work starting Monday we'll be able to get another blog up to show you all some more progress. Fingers crossed that happens!

CommentsRainbow: Color progress on issue #6
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:00:34 GMT
At this point over half the book is drawn and all of that is flatted. We've started work on the color, but that's almost just as tough as the drawing. This issue continues to be the most difficult thing we've ever done - even trumping The Uniques issue #9 by a long shot!
So for today we've got a little taste of how the color work is coming along...
Half finished page 1 with Donna and Raina out at the park
Page 2 with Donna's Dad Rick looking at the old family album
Page 12 - CHAOS! This is what's taking us so damned long. UGH!
Well, no matter what this all has to be done by February 5th! Wish us luck!
