Rex Week Two: Wednesday!

Today's strip may be my favorite Rex daily so far. I shot a screen cap of the digital pencils in progress, so have included that here. Quite a bit of drawing with the gray tone in the B&W version. The color strip as published has an unfortunate error in the last panel -- June's pink bathrobe from panel one is suddenly green -- causing some confusion, I'm sure, for readers. I fixed it here, so at least my blog followers will see it as it should be. Posting this in the wee hours, as I've been up working on Tarzan comic book (excuse me -- graphic novel) pages. 4 of 12 done -- the rest in various stages....

I like the B&W version better than the color one - there seems to be better "lighting", at least to my eyes (that's probably a limitation of the format).

I hate to ask you, though ... in the last panel, is Rex's hand on the wrong wrist? That looks like a left hand!

That IS his left hand (note wedding ring and watch) -- Rex is reaching down/out to touch June's just-now-showing pregnant belly -- see hint of her robe's belt at top left and the hanging ends of same belt in front. This from Rex's POV. Drawn as scripted and as intended.

The on-line color version at Comics Kingdom has now been corrected. Yay!!!!!

Just noticing now that June's arm is wrong (too long) in panel one -- aaargghh! That's something I'd typically catch and fix -- but this stuff had to be turned out and turned in so fast, that escaped me. Frustrating....

Ah, I missed the hints, I stand corrected!
