Hey, everybody! New pages begin next week, but in the meantime I thought you might enjoy seeing this one-pager I did for Comic Festival!, a comic that was handed out for Free Comic Book Day this past May. This page has the distinction of being the only full Galaxion comic page I’ve ever coloured! It was actually the second draft of my entry for that comic– the first one, which I rejected as not meeting the criteria of being “appealing to kids”, ended up as bonus material in the Galaxion graphic novel.
Aria, by the way, has several brothers and sisters, but it was just the one that she particularly wanted to get away from. 
(Also, new blog post today! Scroll down a bit to read it…)
Hey cool, very nice to see this in glorious colour! But colony life seems very labour-camp like.
Thank you! Not all colonies in the Galaxioverse are like this one, but Aria’s home is a relatively new settlement and quite a far distance (again, relatively speaking!) from the busy Earth hub. Since it is a new colony, there is certainly a lot of labour involved in keeping it running…
Looks really nice colored!
Cool! I wish I could have helped you out, but it looks good!
Looks fantastic! Child-Aria looks cute, too.
Even better, it seems like a great 1-page introduction/hook to the story and world of Galaxion. Very nicely done!
Color is Really Really nice. I don’t suppose there is any chance of seeing more of it?
Yes, I realize that in a fundamental way the essence of your art does not rely on the use
of color, and your most devoted fans have always recognized this. But in terms of attracting
new eyes to the series, I think color adds quite a lot to the initial visual attractiveness,
especially since the series takes place in space — where we expect to see lots of striking
colors (uniforms, stars, arcing control panels, etc.)
I suppose it’s entirely a practical constraint, right? Too much time/effort/money to
have the regular strip colored?
I’m glad to see that, unlike Starfleet, this space service doesn’t change their uniform design every 2-3 years!
No reality TV network deals depending on it, here.
I’m watching for that to happen on Defying Gravity at the mid-point of year three.
