Jason Badower shares his original art and comments about his work on Blackout, Part 2.

"I managed to cheat the first two panels by using an...image built up from a bunch of photos that I took. So, while there is no drawing in there, it is still a piece of Photoshop artwork."
-
Jason said he received a lot of criticism for drawing a teenager who looked old. "I'm trying to draw a young, withered person and that (to me) ends up kinda looking like an older person. Given that he was never mentioned to be a teenager in the actual story, I'm not too stressed about it."
-
"I really like the dynamic colour scheme from panel three. The moonlight and the lighting make for an interesting palette. I do regret not putting more medical equipment in the room, though."

"I realised that the stage I spent the least time on was the most important. What I mean is the layouts. That little sketch up there is where I do all my careful planning of the story to come."
-
Jason feels that Blackout, Part 2 was much more clear and concise, and a lot less confusing than Blackout, Part 1. He credits this to more time planning his work.

"The only thing I would have changed, in retrospect, is panel is two of this page. I feel that the patient's drama is a little bit too high. In retrospect, I would have drawn something quieter, more introspective. Perhaps a little bit more angsty than angry."
Notes about Jason's drawings are taken from his weblog.
