Catch-Up Cuties

I may have a lot more free time over the next month or so, so I think it's time I finally caught up on ...

What's another side project or three?

A couple of days ago, I started modeling Daisy's bedroom. It's something I've had in mind for a while, and it could be a simpler, more casual environment than the diner to pose her in.  To spe...

Game on!

Hey

Clickety Clack

I suppose I could have made an April Fools image today, but instead my brain wasted that energy on a dumb idea of Daisy typing away on a keyboard. Maybe next year...

Update: ...

Daisy's Diner - Pandemic Edition

Early on in the pandemic, right around the time everything had shut down, I had this idea of Mary being one of the last people to find out. She goes to the diner like normal, only to find the doors...

Alexa, #@!$ off

Panels 1, 2, and 4 of page 1!

Update - one more so Daisy's a bit more active at the end of the page.  I haven't decided yet if it'll be better to have it as its own pane...

Girl needs some caffeine

I was hoping I'd have this sequence inked & colored by now, but it's morphed a bit beyond a simple sequence.  With a few more panels to pad it out, this sequence could turn into 2-3 proper...

Always room in the pile

Go figure - with a month to catch up on my backlog of ideas, my brain gives me a new comic to add to the pile, and now a gag involving shirts with everyone's favorite blue-footed bird printed on th...

"5 more minutes", all week long

I'm really dragging my feet lately, and that may not change for a few more days. I started the week knowing it was time for me to quit caffeine again, but didn't actually start until yesterday. &nb...

Five More Minutes (muttered incoherently)

Daisy needs to get up and go to work...  but sometimes sleeping for 5 more minutes all day is much more rewarding.

Update - looks like this one could be the first of a s...

Proto-Zeke

Would you believe that Zeke actually predates Daisy & Mary?  Or rather, "Tanice" does. I'm not sure about the sketches, but the color piece is easily 20 years old!

T...

What the masses REALLY want - boring tool demos!

A couple of years ago, I'd written a script for setting up eyelids in Maya.  One tiny problem - I've since forgotten how to use it, because I didn't bother to document any of it.  So over...

Zeke 'sheet

Aaaannd done!

More Zeke

Zeke's character sheet is almost ready to be assembled!

The past few days is a weird example of how it can be difficult for me to make short-term plans - as fun as the flood of Zeke ideas wer...

And then they did the thing

Had to add Mary, explaining the obvious.  And some other nonsense.

More alien fun

Some things I'm toying with with this girl - she can shapeshift to some degree, so she can more easily fit in for a limited amount of time.  She can change her skin & eye color, and morph ...

A week to get weird

Last I'd heard, I've got at least a week before the next phase of my contract starts.  Now, I'd spend most of last week working on my rigging scripts for Maya, so maybe now's the time to switc...

Sunday Scribbles

Friday - waiting on client feedback. All day.

Today - same, it's looking like.

In between - "hey, look, Ah done did drawed somethin!"

The frustrating part is I'm fairly certain th...

That time again...

I'm officially back to work!  Yeah, I'd already been working on Python stuff for work for the past couple of weeks, but now I'm setting up scenes for animation, before doing some animation mys...

More or less back on the clock

While I'm still waiting for word on when my contract will resume, for the past couple of weeks I've been kept busy with something I've had on the back burner for years - a tool for mirroring poses ...

Partial Character Lineup

I'd been thinking lately that I could use a height-chart for my characters, to try to keep track of how tall everyone is relative to Daisy.  At the same time, I wasn't really in the mood to dr...

The year ahead

With each new year, I normally know exactly what I hope to accomplish. For too many years in a row, the top items on my list have been finishing Daisy's 3D rig, and then animating her. Since I didn...

Nude Year 2021

2020 will soon be over, and I may be buried in contract work again not too long after that. What makes things just a little easier, is that I can just copy & paste my resolutions from last year...

Have a merry one!

On a lighter note

I hope everyone's staying safe and responsible over the holidays. 

Saying 2020 was a dumpster-fire of a year would be putting it mildly, and it would be an insult to dumpster fires. I ju...

Abandoned, or just held in reserve?

Before Daisy & Mary, I'd spent years developing a science fiction story that I've long since given up on. But every so often I'll think about some of the characters, and look for ways to bring ...

Christmas Countdown

So far I'm getting a lot less done than I'd originally hoped, which may not be the worst thing. One problem with catching up on backlogged ideas, is they're old ideas. The best way to really hammer...

Handstand

Is it cheating if more than just her hands are touching the ground?

Stringing words together

One project I'd like to finish this month, is the follow-up to Toxic Candy, where Candice confronts her father. Apart from being busy all year, I've put this story off because I simply didn't want ...
