For those who don’t remember; Marta’s engaged. Nothing like waiting for the whole family to be together.
I used some selected Selkie comics for my senior art exhibition, and one of the criticisms an instructeor gave me during our oral defense was that he felt the vector speech bubbles and blocky Lucida font looked out of place with the hand drawn lines of the artwork. So I thought I'd give changing the font and speech bubbles a try.
Sometimes when I play Ahri in League of Legends (a champion based off korean mythology about a fox spirit who eats human livers), I like to yell FEED ME YOUR LIVERS! as a battlecry. Which probably says too much about[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Todd's dialogue on this page was borrowed from real life. I was INSUFFERABLE as a teenager.
And now you know of Todd’s dark past of being a stereotype.
Believe it or not, I have a backstory for that small table Selkie's sitting at. It used to be the "Kitchen Helper Corner" when Todd Marta and Antoine were little, and Mari got it out of storage for Selkie's visit.
I have learned that trying to draw comics while watching 80’s cartoons on Youtube does not work well for meeting deadlines. Thanks a lot Argus!
I've read in a few places that, if allowed to do so, characters can develop traits that will surprise even the author. Selkie's love of eating is one of those aspects of her character for me. She's shown on multiple occasions an excited and enthusiastic reaction to the prospect of eating. I don't know where it came from, but I feel like it's a part of her character that's asserted itself organically somewhere along the line.
I am sorry to do this, but this past weekend was packed with school-related stuff I had to do, and getting a regular comic done just kind of slipped away. I apologize for the unannounced sketch day, but don’t worry[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
See if you can find Wonder Woman's invisible jet. Hint: it's invisible.
Comic number 200, and it contains a cursing joke! 😀 It also (albiet briefly) contains Grandma and Grandpa, who were also in comic 100. Must be a thing for them. Thank you everyone for sticking with me through 200 comics.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I see a lot of my own humor and speech patterns in Marta. It doesn't show up much in the comic, but in the real world I could use a fudge-ripple swear jar.
This is a concept sketch for a statue from Selkie’s as-yet-unnamed culture which will show up at some point in the far future. It’s from a fable titled “The Maiden and the Eel Spirit”. I haven’t fully written out the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
In case you don’t remember, the big guy with the dreadlocks is Antoine, and the woman with the glasses exacerbating the rhyme-off is Marta. It may be too small to see, but she is holding Clyde (the family beagle-mix) in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alternate second line for Todd in the last panel: “Poison ivy doesn’t work that way.” -EDIT- So, I forgot to draw in seatbelts. XD Thanks Gelrir! Also, I forgot to mention, but this arc is the beginning of Selkie’s use[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thought I'd try for more line width variation, see how it looks. Reminds me of Gunshow.
