With a big contract coming up, this week I'd like to focus on rigging Daisy's face. Or at the very least, figuring out HOW I'm going to rig her face, and whether my ideas even work. Today ...

Good News - the next comic page is assembled and ready for inks!
Bad News - with the end of the month - and a potential contract - approaching, I'm feeling like I'm up against a ticking clock.
I almost feel like I'm cheating with this one, but on the bright side all that's needed now is a pair of hands working their way south in each panel, and the first part of the Monique & Lizzie com...

Chocolate-covered bananas for Valentine's Day are a thing, right?
2017-02-10 12:44:39 +0000 UTC View PostLately I'd been stuck in a technical mindset. Even when I drew the last comic page, the whole time I was thinking about all the Maya problems I was now putting off. Thursday, I think the s...
2017-02-05 15:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostMy last poll was about 3D tutorials, but another idea I've been floating are source files for $10 patrons or higher. Many artists offer PSD files of their images... but I use Illustrator. ...

I was hoping to have this page finished yesterday, but things have been getting in the way all week. Now I have to decide whether to start inking and coloring it this weekend, or draw the next p...
2017-01-27 22:08:19 +0000 UTC View PostI'm always thinking of new rewards to offer, and whether I can keep up with them... that was a problem with monthly commissions last year - great reward, but I couldn't keep up. With all t...

Man, I didn't realize how much I missed waking up to sunshine, versus what I call the "Michigan murk"... almost every day over the past month, Michigan's skys have been dull, grey, and depressin...

I'm eyeballs-deep in Maya scripting this week, but at least the next comic page is laid out! Daisy and Mercy have some words, a thing or two get cleared up... but it's the page after this ...

Tough-love time! Aunt Mercy is getting an intervention, whether she wants it or not!

Shall we place bets on who can out-scowl the other?
2017-01-07 03:11:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo far I'm off to a good start - as of yesterday, my new eyelid script is working, so that's one less technical thing for me to have to worry about!
Since I also want to resume the comic this month,...
2017-01-02 20:02:50 +0000 UTC View PostNow that my laptop is back from the dead, I need to get back to work. The past week or so without a computer has at least given me time to think, particularly about what might be in store for my...

...silly Daisy, don't ask questions you already know the answer to!
On a different note, this past week turned out to be more of a break than I expected - my laptop's cpu fan broke a few days ago, s...

So apparently my approach to taking a break is to get some work done. Good thing, too, because I've put these commissions off for too long as it is! Once these two are finished - preferrab...
2016-12-15 15:57:13 +0000 UTC View PostHeya folks, figured I'd give you all a status update.
In a few days I'll be heading up to Michigan, and it's unlikely that I'll be able to get anything done until I get back. And even then my ...

Better late than never - the thumbnail sketch for this one had been sitting on my tablet for months, since I got a nasty sunburn. But considering now is the time of dry, flakey skin, it still wo...

The awesome thing about my Maya rigging tool being more or less finished? I can finally focus on non-technical things!
The downside? After more than a week of coding, it's a struggle to ...

As of yesterday, my gnome rig is finished! Or at least, as finished as it needs to be, for now. With that out of the way, I should focus on getting my next comic page dra...

So far it's looking like my Maya scripting won't take all week. I could even be done today or tomorrow, if I play my cards right! That means I can get started on the next comic page ...

Just a heads-up, this week my plan is to focus primarily on 3D stuff. There's a very short list of scripts for me to work on, and then my rigging tool can finally be put to use! But while ...
