Unrelated to Selkie, but I know from previous commentaries that there are other Last Airbender fans out there. I’ve been following it’s sequel series, Legend of Korra, for the past few months, and… oh man. After the last episode I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The last panel gave me an interesting chance to draw Selkie's face in a little more detail than usual. The eyebrows return. XD
I haven’t been camping in a long time, mostly because sleeping bags on rocks is horrible.
I wanna thank everyone at this time for the questions and speculations about Selkie's saliva over this past arc. It gave me the idea for this scene, and I think it's addition makes the issue more solid. Thanks for being awesome!
Tempted to have Marta turn up in a third outfit after the dress change. XD Oh, and one more shout out to fellow League of Legends players, I created a Selkie chatroom (named “Selkie”, no quotes) that is slowly growing,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I actually didn't write this scene in until I read all the questions wonderings musings and speculations on if Selkie's saliva would be put to the test. For great science!
I’ve been working on a new Donation Incentive image. It’s been a long while since I last made one, lost track of them with school and etc. But I think this one was worth the wait. For those interested, the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had a really hard time with the writing on this one. In the original draft Selkie, both to prove a point and due to feeling hurt and angry, licked Todd's hand instead of the quick peck I went with in the final version. In my head, Selkie licking Todd's hand looked humorous and exaggerated, like a cartoony dog lick. But once I sat to actually drawing it, it looked... kind of weird and creepy. Plus, even though Selkie is an eight year old kid with some anger and coping issues, I think she's been raised well-mannered enough not to lick people. Once I started putting the licking out of my head and on to paper, it didn't look funny or cartoony at all; it looked creepy disgusting and disrespectful to a degree that it just did not work at all. So, after a bunch of redraws, we got the panel three we have now, and Todd gets spared the effects of a more potent exposure to Selkie's saliva.
So, I was playing League of Legends with some people yesterday, when the idea was proposed that we should try and get a game of Selkie readers together. Maybe a custom 5v5 game? I’ll make a chat room called Selkie[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had originally wanted Selkie to run away, upset, into the woods behind the house. I decided not to go that route because it felt a bit... over-dramatic and overdone.
I am sorry about the half finished comic, everyone. I had a lot of events and family get-togethers over the weekend, and I kind of lost track of myself. As you can see, the comic is half finished, but since[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I always kind of feel like the drama moments of the comic teeter on an edge I can't quite articulate or describe. I feel they need to be very carefully handled... or they careen.
So, today is the 2nd anniversary of the first update of Selkie. Happy 2 years everyone! I can’t wait for more. 😀 I have a few art extras to share today. First is a bonus sketch by me. In following[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
More text bubble experiments, this time back to ovals but with thicker outlines. I think this may be a good mix.
My real life family is going through quite a few weddings right now. Little bit of the real world seeping in. XD
I went back to the old font and speech bubbles for now. I tried some of the hand-written fonts floating around, but I missed the crispness of the Lucida I've been using.
