On the Run

The third panel contains a poster with a wendigo from Scarygoround or rather Bad Machinery a lovely (real) comic by Mr. John Allison. I didn’t want it to be so prominent of a poster so I will probably go in and edit it later. I just wanted a little homage to a comic I love.

I like how the white dress turned out in the fourth panel, so, I’m going to call this one a success even though the point of the comic escaped me a bit. Tori’s nautical themed outfit is kind of cute too.

Did I mention we have raccoons?


I think this comic suffered a bit considering I was trying to complete it while my monitor and computer were both acting up. I now have a new monitor but the computer will have to wait until I win the lottery or get a second job.

I don’t know if the comic even makes sense anymore. I changed the dialog several times but nothing worked exactly how I intended. I’m just happy it is done with :) .

/// edit:
Looking back I’m very happy with how Tori came out in the fourth panel… and yes, she has befriended a rabid raccoon.

Smoke

My monitor, video card, tablet, and computer are all conspiring against me. If I were the wealthy sort I’d just buy new stuff. As I am not, I have been begging with and pleading with my computer and all of its peripherals to function for a day or two here and there. I feel very frantic when I don’t have access to my computer to draw when I please.

I had planned this epic drawing of a party instead of a comic this week or next week…some week. For now I’ve managed to draw today’s capstone, “Smoke” (my art teacher said I was rubbish with titles, too obvious).

Now I’m off to raid the fridge.

It has my shoes…

It has my shoes…


I got the blue screen of death a few days ago. I thought all was lost. I had some files backed up but not all. I edit my art pretty frequently so backing up every two minutes really isn’t plausible for me. I was saved by a Dell re-installation cd. I don’t even own a Dell anymore it just happened to be the only operating system cd I own. I still have a deep desire to fling my pc off a mountain but that is another issue all together. For now everything is functioning.

I feel bad I’ve gone almost a week without posting. Aside from a devious computer there is no real reason behind my absence. I should post a link back to my Work post. I am working so I don’t always have the time I’d like to devote to drawing…or sleeping. This week especially but I’m going to do my best to not go a week without posting a capstone or a comic.

I’m dying to edit that third panel.

Someplace Else


Someplace Else


Frequently when I want to post here I have numerous things I want to say. It’s a mixture of depressing subjects which I could scream and rant about all day but enviably delete and start over resulting in minimalistic posts about what I bought that week or the shampoo I happen to be using.

I’m dull.

Above all I’d like to be somewhere else because being here does nothing for me.

So, being poor, I thought I would bring other locations to me. I was pondering buying a paddling pool or a sprinkler; however, due to current situations involving new neighbors (of the male type) :link: I don’t think scampering about the lawn on “getaway” is such a good idea. I would hate to blind anyone :D .

I imagine my other option would be crawling around the basement and pretending I’m spelunking but I don’t fancy spiders or grime. The basement is quite cool in the summer but I don’t think I’d choose a cooler environment over hive free skin…

Instead I’ll just work and subsequently be drawing a lot.
