Artist's Commentary

If you're just joining the story, you can read it from the beginning, by clicking HERE for episode #4.

WOW! This episode took me the longest of any Newt and John story so far! So many custom backgrounds and effects... I've put the equivalent of several days of time into the artwork alone. I've just finished working through the night to finish this.

This episode is in many ways, 3 separate story points put into one page. I could have made individual episodes for each part, but when I was writing this story, I found that everything that needed to be said, could be kept as simple as I've shown in the final result... any extra information really wasn't necessary.

Newt and John haven't made it home safely yet... I didn't want this story to be too predictable!

So, obvious to anyone over 30, they've landed on what one could assume is Gilligan's Island. Newt is sporting Gilligan's outfit, and he's found one of Ginger's "movie star" evening gowns.... but there's one other reference to the Gilligan's Island TV show in this episode... it's in the writing. See if you can find it.

Well, I'm really glad this episode is done... and I'm really happy with how it turned out. All the artwork is created in Adobe Flash software... so it's all vector artwork with a lot of layers.

I'm planning to finish this story soon!.. so come back and see how it ends!

As always, thanks for reading, voting, passing a link to your friends, or posting on 'stumbleupon'... any help in promoting this site is always appreciated!

Have a great day!
