Fall Sketches

I missed the last day of Grandfest in Splatoon 3 while I was coloring this.

Hiding from Company

Been trying to figure out how much shading I need to make these look good while I spend most of my focus on the novel pages. This shading job took a little bit too long. I don't know.

New page preview

I didn't have a great idea for a weekly comic, so I spent time drawing an extra page to go in Part 2.

Back to Job Hunting

The bad news is that I'm on the job hunt once again. The good newws is this is going to give me more time for story revisions. Maybe I can get Ch. 2 ready for review by the end of the year.

Bonus: Next draft preview: Page 92

I'm trying to transition from Adobe to Affinity, so I went ahead and shaded page 92. I'm liking Affinity so far, though some of the buttons are harder to find than in Illustrator. It should at least be better than Adobe's AI-crazed price gouging. Whaddaya think of the results?

Sad Inside a Wall

I drew this as a possible book cover for Chapter 2 of my story, inspired by that creepy ad for Super C on the NES. Been experimenting with markers; I might need some more practice with these.

Various Sketches

Now, some various things from my sketchbook.
Carl's son, Junior (unafilliated with the burger chain). (I might change his name to Carlos or something.)

Top Hat lectures Lemur on the inherent volatility of crypto.

Summer time Penguin.

Some sketches I scribbled out while stressing over politics this month.

Monday, July 15, 2024

Sorry, forgot to post Saturday. I've been working on story revisions. I made some drawings, but I only have the previews here at the office; I'll post the finished work later.

Happy Belated Pride Month

I wanted to do something like this for pride month, but I really only have three officially confirmed LGBT+ characters.

Yet More Krang

My Mom gave me some new markers. Yay! Updates on the next draft are going slowly, due to losing about five pages of edits on account of Windows' shenanigans. Did you know you can undo fodler creation AFTER having saved files to that folder? Infuriating. Fortunately I was able to retrieve most of my work from Illustrator backup. Rare win for Adobe, I guess.

More Krang

Not doing a 560 page story about NInja thinking he's Krang. Promise.

Box Art Preview

I've been hard at work on revisions this weekend, so instead of a comic, let me post a preview, in the form of SNES box art.

Head Injury

This is the first non storyline comic I've drawn in nearly a decade of working on these "Cos-Play Hero" pages. Wow. Inspired by a conversation I had at work, where one of my coworkers is incredibly amused at my Krang impression. I'm also kind of playing off a similar theme from a Lauren Ipsum comic Charles Brubaker put out earlier this week.

p564: Last Page

Woo! My first draft of the story is done! I am EXHAUSTED! As you can guess, I have a lot more storylines planned for the future, but I'm working on some revisions for this one first. I already have the first 100+ pages ready for review, and I'm ready to get the rest of them in a state where hopefully someone will want to sit down and read this mess. I'll be here with any updates, of course. Stay tuned.

549: Smiles and Tears

Also, I have been going back through the earlier pages and revising the artwork. The first chapter should be ready for peer review in a couple weeks, then I can see if there's a publisher crazy enough to print this mess. Here are some previews of the revised artwork.

p548: Tailgate

Story is almost done. Already working on editing.

Saturday, January 13, 2024

p 547: Raccoon's Condition

Note: I have a version of this with some alternate dialog that will be in the final version once I finish editing the rest of the story. Didn't want to spoil a major thing before the book is out. Look forward to it.

p555 Sappy Ending

Last comic of 2023. Woo. Also, I accidentally reposted p543 instead of p544 last week. I'll correct this, so feel free to go back and read these in the correct order. Sorry, it's been a beast of a month.
