I wanted to make a note concerning my future plans for Team Jetpack 104. I initially started this comic back in September to help me get drawing again, and as a creative exercise and challenge. It has definately done that; I have gained some kills in Photoshop that I never thought I would be able to achieve, and I’ve learned more or less the technique I want to use from here on out.
Having said that, I am not beyond the fact that the artwork is not as clean, polished, or snappy as it should and CAN be. I have also found that the standard three panel format is not fitting for the kind of story telling I’m trying to do here. However, while scanning the Internet for other web comics, I found one that inspired me to do better, and have decided to adopt their format for TJ104 in the future.
Kiwi Blitz is a great comic, and the artist’s format has inspired me to no end. So, after this arc, I will be taking a short break as I prepare for the new and improved Team Jetpack 104. I will be updating the team’s look a bit, more fully polishing ideas, and writing a script for the first arc. Hopefully my new format will enable me to better flesh out the characters, as well as deliver better dialogue, stories, and villains. As a treat, I have included the pencil sketch of the “New and Improved” Captain Amazing. I will be doing these type of references (eventually in full color) for all major characters.
