december 2020

hi everyone. it's another month -- the last month of 2020.

i made an update after rescheduling, but in case you didn't see it, my surgery got moved to april due to covid-19 concerns. this means i'll be working regularly in december, mainly. ...

fresh meat, page 80

today, i realized that i had misnumbered pages again. this is page 80, last week was page 79.

anyway, i'm not sure what i want to say about this page. it's definitely interesting to give diana this much dialogue, considering she isn't a core...

fresh meat, page 79

okay, here's the next page; it's late because i had a pain flare this week that mercifully only lasted a day...?? the shading will probably be done on sunday since it's comic work anyway.

something i removed from the dialogue here for the sa...

update on the surgery thing

what's up everybody, oklahoma's covid-19 cases are through the roof and getting worse. thus, i rescheduled my surgery for mid-april. everything that applied to december, i don't want to say applies to mid-april in case i have to reschedule yet, bu...

catharsis development session 3: the outline

i haven't written about developments about catharsis for a while... i didn't want to show my face again until something substantial was written: the outline. i can work out an entire comic from an outline, so this is an important step in the scrip...

fresh meat, page 79 (flats)

i'm not sure how much i have to say about this page. i was on the fence about including it at all, because it pretty much cements the arc for carmilla that i'm unsure about. i wasn't sure i could come up with something else for her in such a short...

soft-pedaled, page 12

10/8 stream (finished)

hi everyone, this is a late one because my sleep schedule is extremely messed up right now and i don't want to attempt to fix it lest it spiral out of control again right before surgery. i'll just be working on the next page of soft-pedaled.

fresh meat, page 78

and so the scene is over. let's see what i want to say about it...

let me mention some small dialogue edits first:
the page was initially written to end with kim asking sugar why she doesn't come to check-in, either, and sugar saying, "ti...

november q+a

EDIT: hi everybody, i'm starting to answer questions now. i woke up about 4 hours ago, so, it is what it is.

hello again, everyone. i finished up answering the questions for october's q&a, so now i'm going to post this one.
i'm going ...

november poll

there will be no december stream poll, so whatever option wins for this month will transfer over to any streams i do on sunday during december, if i do any.

november 2020

hi again, everyone. it's a new month, so it's time for an update.

let's start with the biggest thing: i'm having surgery at the beginning of december and it means i don't know when i'll be able to work again. i should be fine by the end of t...

fresh meat, page 76

boy, this page looks WEIRD without the shading.

so i'll talk a little about what kim's saying here. the next page is the last of this scene, so there isn't much more to develop.
you may have noticed in the scene where kim was moved wards ...

10/11 stream (finished)

this stream will be about keshet, and maybe be a little shorter than usual because i did not really have a plan for today.

october q+a

hi everyone. i just remembered i need to do the q&a for this month. this month's theme will be favorites and least favorites.
ask me a thing and a character (or multiple characters) and i will tell you their favorite and le...

fresh meat, page 75 (finished)

alright, next page... a little bit late, because i had another pain flare.

i feel like i should have so much about this page, and i really don't! a lot of the dialogue, i feel, speaks for itself!

i already kind of explained during the ...

10/4 stream (finished)

today i'll be developing some settings and lighting scenarios for catharsis. might be a shorter stream.

october 2020

hi everybody. it's a new month, so a new update.

let's start with the big thing: i was so busy in the last few days of the month working on this next page to get it out in time that i completely forgot about the Q+A. 🤦🏻
i'm going to...

fresh meat, page 74 (shaded)

EDIT: shading is done now.

yes, i am back, and i managed to sketch out, line, and color this page within the last two days, as it was the only way to get back to a normal schedule. some of the models are wonky, but i left them alone if they ...

FaD strip: tip of the tongue

something i drew mostly because i try to draw co-consciousness or more specifically entering or exiting it in different ways, and this experience hit me like a truck in terms of how i could draw dupe exploding out of the mouth with recall. sometim...

this one is going to be pertaining to rain, who i ran a public poll for reviving a day or two ago.

doodle dump 9

time for another doodle dump.

a lot of these ones are meme redraws and concept art for hurts (probably a name i'll be using to differentiate the roach fursona from myself when necessary).

i've had sort of some artistic ennui lately as ...

fresh meat, page 73

EDIT: shading done.

there's a lot going on in a short amount of time here... lupe's personality gets more establishment, and it's also established that she and carmilla (and the staff member here) can speak spanish, which is introduced as a ...

september q+a

hey, guess who just remembered the question and answer sessions are a thing!

this month's theme will be questions about backstory regarding characters. i'll leave it open and say it can be about any character, not just main ...

fresh meat, page 72

for the night lighting of this scene, i tried a new method of sketching. overall, i think it was worse to sketch it out as nighttime lighting as opposed to trying to color correct for contrast in the shading and coloring phase. it might still be u...

september poll

september 2020

hi everyone. it's wild how it's september already.

first, i'll just repeat what the image says: the new year on the hebrew calendar and the ten days of repentance happen this month, with the last day, yom kippur, being the most intense. you ...

FaD strip: making it up

when i don't completely remember something myself, but a different part of my brain does, i have a tendency to assume i'm lying to myself or making it up. it's been a really hard habit to break, and i'm not sure why. a lot of the time it's about p...

today i'm probably just going to do more evolutionary stages.
