Welcome!

Now that we've got ourselves a bona-fide homepage, it's time I committed some text to the page here on the progress blog. For now it's just the big ol' slideshow: a mix of production shots, unreleased photos, and the undoctored originals of some of what you have seen (or will see) in Little Worlds. As this space develops, you'll likely see a greater emphasis on the material that has gone into the comic, and I'm hoping to wrangle the odd actor into doing a guest post or two. I'll kick this off with some of my thoughts thus far:

I've gotten into digital photography in the last few years, but as a very sporadic hobby. Little Worlds is the first project that I have undertaken as a photographer per se, and as such is both exciting and intimidating. The responsibility of translating another person's vision into reality is a new one for me, so I'll admit that yeah, I'm definitely a little lot scared of screwing up. Biggest challenge so far: holding the camera steady at night without a tripod, and the biggest success: I dunno if I'm the right person to ask, but there is this one really awesome picture of the Duke that I think will be available as a wallpaper at some point.

A note on my equipment, in case anyone is curious: I have the 8-megapixel Canon Digital Rebel XT with an 18-35mm lens. It's not a full frame digital camera, though, so the actual numbers are ~1.6x...higher (if I remember the manual correctly) than stated. Of course, this is some old-hat stuff compared to some of the newfangled gear you can get these days.

Before I sign off, there's a question I feel I ought to ask: what part of the comic-making process do you want to read about? Leave a comment to let us know!
