Try, Try Again


        So far every time I've tried to update on a schedule I've failed. However, that wont stop me from trying again. From now and hopefully into the distant future you can expect new comics every Tuesday and Thursday. In the spirit of this new update schedule I've even made a new header (or whatever that thing is) for the site. There are a lot of things about this site I don't care for, but I don't really want to bother trying to learn a new system at the moment. For now I'll settle for making minor aesthetic changes to these one.

I Heart Goggles


        I was going to do post a picture of a new comic today, but then I remembered that I'll be able to get that cord from Max tomorrow. Why bludgeon your eyes with sub par goods when I'm so close to being able to present full quality goodness? Instead here is a random picture I took.

        Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to cook something up for dinner then watch Back to the Future III. I've been told that it's actually a decent movie if you think about it on its own and not as part of a series. I haven't seen it in a very long time, so I figure I'll put the theory to the test.

The Difference of Color



        Bleh, I do not like taking pictures of colored work. However, I won't be able to finish the strip I was working on today until late tonight, so here is the colored version of yesterday's. Yay for color's ability to distract from crappy line work. I know I've said I've started doing backgrounds in all my comics, but I'm really not sure what the inside of a mind looks like. So I think pink w/ veins is a pretty decent representation.

        I've been asked who they all are, so in order of appearance: Perception, Ego, Inner Child, Pessimism, He-Who-States-The-Obvious, and Doubt.

[EDIT] I replaced the camera version with the scanner version, because it just looks better that way.

Inner Voices or: Plan B


      A rough camera photo of the comic I did today. I'll fix it up, add some more detail, and color it later. By later I of course mean once I get back the capability. I just felt I should keep up my streak of posting that I seem to have going this week. Also since I mentioned this incident a couple days ago, the connection might be lost if I didn't post it now. There are parts of it I love and yet parts of it I despise. I really need to work on some things so they'll stop looking like crap.

      Trying to think of strange outfits for the various parts of your inner dialogue is actually quite fun. Having my sense of pride wear a top hat and no shirt, personally, cracks me up. Also I've now memorized the html code for with which to add indentations into this blog. While it is a bit of a hassle for me, I'll do it for you dear readers. Although I doubt you really care.

A Taste of Things to Come


      The good news is my sister has returned the scanner's power cord! This means that I'm one cord away from updating comics once again and luck have it Max has told me he'll let me borrow the cord I need. Apparently he's had one that he hasn't needed for a few years. In anticipation for upcoming comics here's a sample panel from the stuff I've been working on. As you can see I've been doing everything in full color and even trying to do background work as well. Hopefully those things will start to improve over time.

New Comic Haiku
Comics are coming.
Please excuse their quality.
Sequential art, ho!

Recipe For ArtBlog

There is an inherent problem with confirmation. On one hand having someone back up your original inkling can be great. "Hey I was right? Awesome!" On the other hand it prevents you from using plausible deniability. "Hmm I wonder if I was getting a vibe from that cute waitress? Probably not. Oh well". Unfortunately both my cousin and my aunt were around after dinner to inform me that such a vibe was certainly there. However, finding these things out afterwards racks my brain with a bad case of the woulda-coulda-shouldas. Wikkawikka Poetic Remix! Oh waitress rare of features fair, has my thoughts in solitaire. A time so brief, yet by this thief, leaves my mind in disbelief. Alas! Allay! Perhaps to meet another day. Wikkawaaah.

A sily combination of pictures, poems, and moments from my awkward life. I do believe I've met any requirements there might be for a good artblog post. As that was my goal I shall bid you adieu.

Carolyn V.S. Cerberus


Here's a little facebook graffiti I drew today to tide you over while I'm without scanner. It is a theme continuation from the "Carolyn V.S. The Sphinx" one I did awhile back. I did it a lot faster and I think it looks a lot better. Perhaps I've improved a little.
