I know it's become pretty popular, but for those who aren't familiar with NaNoWriMo, or "National Novel Writing Month," it's a communal activity in which contestants attempt to start and finish a 100,000 word novel in a single month. Well, I decided to scrap my plans for that contest this year and transmute the idea into a comics project instead.

The only goal I've really set for myself is a single multimedia panel a day, so the narrative may or may not end up making a lot of sense in the end. This is an exercise that is very much a product of being "in the moment," so I'm not planning ahead at all. Also, expect plenty of change-ups with regard to style and tone. Sometimes I use reference, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I spend a lot of time on the panel, sometimes I kick it out pretty fast. Sometimes it's all digital, sometimes not. I'm basically doing this just to limber up and have some fun between comics projects.

I've blurred out some swears so that I don't violate PJ's terms of use, but if anybody is really curious about the uncensored version, you can check it out on my DevArt page. I totally appreciate any feedback you might care to give me! Thanks for looking!

I guess today's panel isn't strictly a sketch, but I figure I can get away with sticking it in here anyway. Apologies to Frank Miller.

These look really great!

2 things:
-It's a 50,000 word novel, not 100,000 :)
-What does portage mean?

D'oh! It's a lucky thing I didn't end up throwing down for Nano after all, or else I would've ended up doing twice the work I needed to! :D

Thanks for the compliment, and Portage is just the name of a street here in town that has an all-night supermarket. Just one of those weird little things that finds its way into your work when you're going at it stream of consciousness, I guess!
