Mistycorn: In Color!
Shaenon: And here’s the final version of the page from the Volume 5 bonus story, with color by Pancha Diaz. Thanks as always, Pancha!
Speaking of, the reprint of Skin Horse Volume 1 is currently on its way to me. When it arrives, I’ll start printing Volume 5. This is happening!
Channing: We’re making “Skin Horse” history here, folks, with the first full-color bonus story. Whee!
I keep forgetting Baron Mistycorn is blue. He is misty, I suppose. The original script designation calls him a “robotic unicorn with a tiny fluffy little soul patch” but did not mention color because WE WEREN’T IN COLOR AT THAT POINT. He was also originally going to be bigger, which would have made this bonus story impossible. Or at least a lot less cute.
Ah…this is *so* much easier to read this time around…
Makes me eager to see the final product.
I am 40 today, so it be
Still not as scary
As that ride from Whimsy
(Stuck at home under 6″ of snow eating bacon all day. Not a bad birthday treat. Bummed I won’t be able to watch the Super Bowl at a bar, cause I don’t have a tv. On the bright side, no stupid 40th birthday party. “Over the hill” celebrations are so 80’s.)
Well – hope your birthday went well beyond the TV/Superbowl factor. You may wish to check into internet radio (for future reference) for future games you may otherwise miss. The streaming vid options probably more $$ than it is worth.
I went into work yesterday to avoid today’s storm – which is probably the same one you had yesterday. Soup, coffee, and continuing to rebuild my computer which ate its HDD last week (before the blizzard locked me down). And dealing with the cats who won’t leave me alone today.
