Oh man you guys, I thought this one was gonna be delayed, but I pulled it off! This semester I have night classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I was a bit worried about the Thursday updates. Hopefully, you’ll never[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Marla B. Sanderson is a former mayor of Calumet City (where the comic takes place) who had a strong presence in the education system.
Soon Selkie’s palate will expand to birdses, cowses, maybe even kangarooses. (A friend of mine told me over the weekend about how he had tried kangaroo steak in Iowa and he thought it was really good. I’m a bit curious[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I decided to add a few touches to the apartment that I didn't fully think about previously (appliances, functional handles on the stove and refrigerator, etc). I have learned that I can not draw can openers.
I have been getting SLAMMED with spam comments over the past two days. Woke up to 50 comments queued for moderation that all said generic things like “This makes everything so completely panliess.” (actual quote), and link to Bing or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I try not to do the "talking with a closed mouth" thing a lot of comics seem to do (even the professional ones!), but I enjoy Selkie's pursed lips face in panel 2 too much. :D
Triceratop’s tank is plastic, so he’s not gonna hurt himself by bumping it. I’ve received a lot of feedback about the dream sequence since announcing it’s end, both good and bad. I grateful for all of you readers, and I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was going to put a translated sample of the Selkie Language in the dream sequence, but decided it would fit better here.
The dream sequence was fun. I hope everyone enjoyed the silliness, but now we’re back to the real world. 😀 Or are we…. ???? … We are. I hate False Awakenings. XD
This dream sequence went through a LOT of re-writes over the course of it's run. There was actually going to be a third act after the centaurinas which led in to the Big Fall that I cut entirely. I even had pencils done, but it would have extended the dream sequence right to the middle of SEPTEMBER. I was also going to have Selkie simply wake up due to the fear and the fall, but I had an idea for another option that also allowed for me to use my Giant Crook idea after all. :D
I think plummeting helplessly must be one of the oldest things in dream… lore? Dream icons? Dream things? *shrug* New Fan Art update today, inspired by the dream sequence, by Jade Griffin: Thanks Jade! I have also updated the cast[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Tried to make the shadows and texturing on this one a little darker than the previous "desert landscape" backgrounds. I also think it's kind of funny how panel three could be interpreted as Selkie running away from an action movie explosion.
These are a few doodles for background characters when we get to the school. A few are spur of the moment, others I have had in my head for awhile. The Indian-American girl with the long braid for example, I[…]↓ 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.
Two items. First, I want to say to those of my readers that live in the UK, I hope that you and those you care about are safe and unharmed while these riots have been breaking out. I was reading[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For a brief time I considered having the centaurinas call their dance the Paul Pena, but that would imply Selkie knows about him, and it doesn't fit to me that an eight year old would know who Paul Pena is. I may be overthinking this a bit. ._. For those that don't get the reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioT_1zxsYME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dnGj5YF8F0
Oh man, I had a busy busy weekend. My cousin got married this weekend! Congrats, Korie and Adam! I’d also like to name drop something, if I may. My aunt is working on a start-up business designing and selling non-piercing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Before I settled on the concept of ballerina centaurs Amanda Keisha and Heather were, at one point, going to be magical wizard-knights dressed like Sailor Moon villains.
So, I think this may be the first time I’ve used a sketch day for a deleted scene. Not sure how often I’ll do this, because Sketch Days don’t tend to get the same amount of views as regular updates[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
