There are a lot of things I would like to change with this strip I submitted to the paper, particularly panels 2 and 4. I would definitely do an overhaul of those two. I was set to do the strip earlier in the evening and the problem started when I suddenly realized I didn't do any research whatsoever on how to play Wii.
From the top of head I could somehow picture Wii players doing all sorts of poses as they engage in all sorts of games requiring whole body movement but of course I couldn't properly translate it on paper without any reference. Fast forward much later in the evening and early in the morning when I already got the poses down pat (which wasn't really any different from playing other game consoles) that I was struggling with the words. I forgot to write everything that came to mind. The brilliant and witty banter was totally lost. I finished everything past three in the morning tired and sleepy from the work that you see above. Gaaaahhh!

I'm still having trouble editing the dialogue on these original strips I submit to the paper. There's also the problem of editing the illustrations inside each panel, like for this particular strip I think I drew and redrew the 2nd panel six times because I wasn't satisfied with the original idea. After I got that part settled I still wasn't happy with how the third and last panel turned out. Of course, by then it was 2 am, a couple of hours before deadline and I was still drawing every thing.

This is one of the roughs for the opening page of the introduction of the characters inside the book compilation of CLASS. I would have left it in pencils as I like the looseness and spontaneity of the lines as opposed to the cleaned up version later on. You'll also notice there are three versions for the right arm as I wasn't yet decided (at the time, at least) where it should be naturally positioned in the middle of the action. Anyhow, I'll be posting some more previews of the other pages in the coming days or weeks ahead.
