This page...took me forever to draw. I don't draw backgrounds as often as I should, and drawing a whole restaurant with the perspective of tables and people sitting at the tables and all that fun stuff was a huge challenge. But a satisfying challenge! The room came out a bit wide for a NYC building, but we can just say it was shot through a wide-angle camera. Most of the people in this shot are either my characters from story ideas that never came into fruition (yet), or friends' characters. (also, in the very corner, there is a cameo of the two main characters from the webcomic, The Pauper's Prince, by Theorah. Very good read, I highly recommend!)
Anyway, in other news--as I said in my last post, I work in seafood and the Lenten season is a very, VERY busy time of year. But now that Lent and Easter are over, I can breathe a little bit. I will try to get better at posting more consistently now! Once we get through Kevin's little tour, the plot will really start to get going.
As much as I know background shots are a pain to draw, I always appreciate looking at all the details in them. It's why it takes me ages to read manga like Beserk XD.
Julian Smith is fresh out of culinary school when he lands a job at Lemieux's, a French restaurant right in the heart of New York City. But what at first seems like a once-in-a-lifetime dream job soon opens up into a whole can of worms when Julian discovers something very unusual about the restaurant--and it's not the odd nighttime hours, or the owner's strange aversion to garlic. With that on his plate, outrageous rent prices, and a perpetually grumpy maitre d' to deal with, Julian finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew at his new job at Lemieux's.
