[EDIT] Too all my non-North American readers, I believe I’ve fixed the problem with the Pins only being available for shipping in America and Canada. I messed up the shipping settings. 🙁 Sorry about that, international ordering should now be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Method 2 of body temp regulation: drinking hot water. Provides hydration, and introduces warmth to the core. (I have my doubts she’d like the heat on sensitive gill membranes, but I suppose gill flushing with hot/warm water would also be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When you spend the afternoon reading Dr. Calvin instead of doing your math homework, your brain goes Kablooey.
I mentioned waaaay back near the beginning that Selkie is cold blooded and needs heat regulation in colder seasons, but aside from that one mention in a non-comic side update there hasn’t been much visibility regarding Selkie’s need to regulate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I mentioned way back when that Selkie is cold blooded, but I also feel like from what we've seen so far, Selkie's temperature sensitivity must be somewhat more rugged than standard ectotherms. Otherwise she'd need to live in a glass cage with a heat stone and a big plastic wheel for exercise.
As a side effect of drawing this strip, I have a craving for unagi.
I've always seen Todd as someone who is vegetarian because he doesn't care very strongly about the taste of meat, versus the more political/social reasons.
The original punchline was Marta calling Todd "Worst vegetarian EVER!" because he wasn't even trying to discourage the fish-hunting, but it required too much explanation to avoid giving the impression that she doesn't know why Todd would have meat. (She knows, at least, that Selkie eats meat, even if she has not yet experienced Selkie's particular fish-cravings)
For those who may have missed the announcement last week, due to a combination of work school and an out-of-town family function, afraid I don’t have a strip today. But instead, here is something I hope you’ll enjoy. I made[…]↓ 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.
I regret to inform everyone that, due to school work needs and my going out of town for the weekend, I won’t have a comic on Monday. I’ll rustle up a filler drawing for everyone, but the next full comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Up until this Stroll in the Park storyline, I used the pencil tool to draw the comic, which has the benefit of really hard edged sharp lines. Been using the brush tool for this arc, and part of me feels like I've taken training wheels off. I like the variety and softer feel of the lines... but good god, do I hate having to search every panel for nooks and crannies. Brush tool doesn't color-fill quite as nicely as the pencil tool did. XD Those underwater panels kick Pencil Tool's butt, though.
There's hasn't been a lot of reason before to show Selkie's feet in detail, so this marks the first usage of the partial ball-joints on her toes that allow her to fan out the webs.
This one goes out to all the times I’ve slipped into casual cursing around young’uns. Which with my motormouth is fairly often.
Gonna be an adjustment period on the artwork for a bit. In addition to the tweaks to Selkie and Todd's faces, I switched to the brush tool instead of the pencil tool to try and get softer lines overall, but after correcting for all the little nooks and crannies the brush tool leaves behind, the end result is more or less the same... (which is honestly no surprise, based on the sketch pages awhile back) >_< It also took way too long, but that comes with changing up a workflow process..
