Story by Frank Herbert, adapted by me for fan and portfolio purposes.

This might be the first comic page I've ever made that I'm confident doesn't quite suck. That said, though, please crit, for I am an illustrator used to color, and this is out of my traditional skillset... I have got to find a better way to draw distant people and cloth.

Page one was HARD! I designed almost every single object you see here before I added it onto the page.
I agonized over the fork! And I had to reasearch how to ink a piece of ham. I also had to learn to communicate without color. You'll notice tiny black fills under her chin and hairline which I have never needed before. I hope my speed improves, as this took several days of design and execution.

Well, the journey of 30-40 pages begins with a single upload.

I suppose this might be colored someday (as that is my core skill) but I want to hammer out most of the narrative before this touches a single pixel of color. (edit: ok, I added a rosy overlay just for some warmth)

I have to get 2 commissions done before I work on page 2, so be patient :XD:

thanks to :iconkitsuneko: :iconkirschwasser: for design ideas and :iconbatangbatugan: for style and layout consults :)

I don't know why, but when I see this comic I think of an old Heinlein story in 'The Green Hills of Earth,' "-We Also Walk Dogs." But maybe its just me.
