Possibly one of the biggest hurdles I have with Joe Catholic, besides the writing and the busyness of priestly life is lamenting over my art style which is admittedly still developing even in the past 5 pages! I tend to have a perfect idea of what the comic should look like in my head. If I can’t come close to it, I’ll spend weeks (or months) trying to get it right before posting it on the website. Perhaps it’s a little unhealthy perfectionism. Perhaps it’s an appropriate scrutiny. Either way, it’s often what keeps these pages from seeing the light of publishing.
I thought you might appreciate a close up of the St. Michael Medal in the second to last panel. It was only a gesture drawing from memory of a medal that I own, but I thought it turned out pretty good! Enjoy!
