Another art pile of book sketches, concepts, throw-away drawings and suchlike. The color pieces at the top are for an eventual revamp of the character bio page on the Lackadaisy web site.

At the bottom is a sample color page (here's the original) done for a foreign publisher that seems to want to do a full color book.
I tend to cram a lot of panels onto a page. That combined with multiple scene/ambient light changes makes creating an appealing palette for the page as a whole very difficult. Over-stuffed panel layouts might appear reasonably coherent in monochrome sepia, but I fear full color is in danger of looking like a variegated vomit rainbow. I'm not entirely sold on this idea.
-------------------

Lackadaisy Volume 1 is available at 4th Dimension's online store. It also appears in the April issue of Diamond's PREVIEWS catalog, so if you happen to feel like ordering it through a major bookstore or nudging your favorite comic shop to stock it, I'd be awful much obliged.

Other art and comics can be found at the Lackadaisy site.

Lastly, I'm now Twittering about Lackadaisy updates and related stuff.

Which country is publishing the comic in full color? I'm very curious. (In all honesty I prefer the sepia-toned pages, but the colored page does bring something new to the table.)

If I could have one wish, I would know the story between Victor and Mordecai about the image with Victor wearing Mordecai's glasses. PELASE MAKE A SMALL COMIC OR TELL ME WHY! It's so cute and funny!
Yes, I think the creepy Mordecai and the brute Victor are cute. Sue me.

"That combined with multiple scene/ambient light changes makes creating an appealing palette for the page as a whole very difficult."

I think you did a great job negotiating the trek across the color wheel from the cool to the warm side, the panels fade nicely from one to the other without getting muddled, and yet even on the warm side you had a clearly identifiable color harmony (complementary red/green).

As usual, SPLENDID job!
