Arthur, King of Time and Space

8/18/10

Recording the creative process

I scripted a joke about Vortigern's tower inspiring the Tarot card, decided I didn't like it, decided not to junk the art just in case, came up with a different joke about Vortigern's tower and the Tarot card, and scripted the second joke so I could use the existing art (though the first two or three lines of dialog are essentially the same).

I also hadn't been too sure about the art. The figures in the first three panels are really too big for quarter panels. And why I drew Vortigern's tower leaning like Pisa's, I don't know. Except that I have half an impression that the tower in the Tarot card leans.
