I always liked how this page turned out. I always wanted to do a project in ink wash because of it.

My idea was that J’Corah would tell her story in chapter 3 and she would be rendered in this ink wash. I knew it would take me a while to do it, so I started on those pages at the same time i was finishing the first story to give me time to finish them. I only got through the first 2 when the site went down.

When the site shut down, I had the script for another issue written out besides this one and another 3 beyond that blocked out. I lost my NonPersons hard paper notes to a flood a few years ago and the digital files weren’t as complete as the paper file. If I ever pick this project back up again, I think the ending will be completely different from what I planned originally.

I always kind of liked the drawing in panel 6.

This is the first break we’ve had from the 9-panel-grid the entire story so far. I wanted people to “feel” the impact of the fire, even if the art was so quickly drawn.

I didn’t get very far into chapter 2 before Joey closed down GraphicSmash.com and we all had to leave.
