Yeahh!!!!! Sunset Grill is a comic set in the future, and it involves gangs and a green-skinned minority and kids and adults and government security specialists and veterans and waitresses and more who all come together at a restaurant from time to time. There are about a bazilion characters, which I find really riveting, and each one of them is their own person. And there's always something going on. Also, it's a 3-D modeling type comic, which, to be honest, used to put me off a little in comics for various rather un-thought-out (and un-researched) reasons, but this was the 3-D modeling comic that drew me in enough to make me realize that its medium is very much valid as a tool for comic-making and art-making. It's awesome, go read it. I love it.
(...and the world is very developed, too... world-building for the win!)
also, just FYI, I may be a little bit late on the update for this week. But I can report that I've had HUGE progress in character and story development in the past week, and it's been wonderful and you will hopefully see evidence of it soon.

So, this is what I have. I'd do more, but I have to start a paper before I go to sleep. I wanted to try out a different way of doing the comic, because I got bored of the way I've been doing it and felt like I might could do better another way (plus, my markers are starting to run dry again). I did the linework entirely in pencil and the (beginnings of) shading on my computer. I like the computer shading, but the pencil is too messy. Anyway.
I'm sorry the update is so late, and so unfinished. I'm not great at managing my time right now, but I'm working on it. Hopefully I can pull myself together over spring break, heh. Just one week to go! Speaking of next week... I think I'll probably have the time to at least do the linework for page 36, possibly more.
This week's comic feature is Cetiya! I'll write more on that later, because I really need to write so I can get a decent amount of sleep.

About the lack of a page yesterday... well, I only finished shading the page from the week before on Wednesday night, and I thought I'd have time to do some work on Thursday but I didn't. Or yesterday, really. It was exam week. However, that's not completely why I haven't been updating very consistently lately; part of it is just me learning to work off of my own motivation (and also the motivation that there are actually people who are reading this), and to push myself to improve on that work, drawing on self-motivation as well. Just stuff. Exhaustion doesn't help either. Anyway, sorry there wasn't a page. There WILL be one this week.
