Last chapter's scraps. Always use them during the coloring process. I think they're quite nice to look at on their own too #duckandmantisplaygo #comics #watercolor

If you're in Austin, check out the Lone Star Zine Fest this weekend! We'll be selling our very first color copies of Issue 1. Here's quality control hard at work #comix #zines

Finally remembered to take pics during the process! Pretty much every panel of Duck and Mantis is colored with watercolor and gouache. Which means lots of masking tape and quiet prayers. Lots and lots. #duckandmantisplaygo #comix #watercolor
