Originally, I was thinking of laying out "Good As Lily" as well, but Jesse wanted to do that himself. I did scribble out the thumbnail for the first page though which you can see above. I thought it'd be fun to compare how Jesse and I layout a scene. If you look at my thumbnail and Jesse's finished art on the first page of "Good As Lily," you'll see that we have very different approaches to storytelling.Also, you'll notice there's a little picture of Grace as well as some other data like "user" and "date" above the narration in my thumbnail. That's because originally I was going to have her narration bits be her LiveJournal posts complete with accompanying avatars. I abandoned that idea early on though.Welp, this wraps up the behind the scenes look at "Good As Lily." I hope you enjoyed it. (And I hope you'll consider picking up the book! ;)My thanks to everyone that picked up the book and gave such nice feedback and reviews! I really appreciate the support!
