Extras

If one were to look, one would probably find a new Word Smith interlude is available.  This one is technically part of episode 4 since it shows most of the extras that appeared during the episode.  Next week's interlude (if there is one) will probably be related to the next episode.

As with previous interludes, here's the sketchbook version:

This shows most of episode 4's extras - there are three not shown who were all, coincidentally, on page 3 (and only page 3).  All of the extras pictured above appeared at least twice.  The actual character design for the extras was basically done on-the-fly, either as part of the thumbnails or when drawing the actual page they first appeared on.  Most of the extras were first seen at a distance (and were thus very small) which is part of the reason I didn't do much actual design work for them (also, expedience), though a number of them ended up being enlarged for later pages (and, of course, for this interlude).  I guess the exception to that is the googly-eyed alien whose design has existed for, well, a couple of decades now, I suppose (yikes!)

It would have been faster to do the interlude in greyscale since I could have just plucked the shades to use out of the actual episode pages rather than decide on actual colours (which is kind of a pain).  But I did the other interludes in colour so I decided to suck it up and do this one in colour as well, suffering the pain of colour selection in the process.  I hope you're all happy.

Anyway...  that is all for this week.  Probably another interlude next week and then maybe even starting to post episode 5 the week after that.  Excitement!
