Andi’s been busy, albiet mostly off-camera. I got to thinking, with assistance from reader feedback, that since I am more and more frequently posting “beta” versions of the strips for short periods before finalizing them, and at times the reader[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Andi's tattoo list now includes hearts and clovers. I think maybe horseshoes or blue moons should be next. And to get that Gilgamesh tattoo completed.
Andi’s last appearance was another short check-in a bit over a year ago in real-time. She’s been sitting on the backburner over the last year, sadly.
If anyone asks Andi whether the irreparable damage to those pumps as a result of being wrenched into drywall is representative of some aspect of the work as a whole, I hope to god she has a good answer for that because I do not. And yet, I would totally ask that question. XD
I picked up Saints Row 4 on the Steam holiday sale and love the craziness. I also love the character creator… President Selkie in 2016 ya’ll. This strip finishes the Big Ol’ Infodump story line. We’ll see the De’Madieas again[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There's some pretty big continuity errors here that I didn't catch in time to fix (or if I did go back to fix them it would delay the comic to the point of a skipped update). Lets make a Where's Waldo game of it instead.
Today’s strip was a little bit late because I got too distracted training my five-year-old girl to summon elemental primals instead of rainbow-squirrels. Also got a Fanart post to share today! This image was drawn by Lucheek in an art[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Pohl puts the "magi" in "magitech". I wanted to close out the De'Madiea family's appearance with something unique that Todd and Selkie couldn't necessarily see/hear, but not something that ended the arc on a huge plot-related WHAM note like the "last of her clan's survivors" exposition from the hospital scene.
Happy 2014 Selkie readers! (Actually I am posting this a few hours early, so it may be 2013 still as you read this. Early strip to celebrate. XD) It’s been another great year, and I am looking forward to many[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sarnothi religion includes the concept of a dual-spirit. There is a spirit-self which is comparable to the idea of a "soul", but also a second spirit (a separate entity entirely) that serves as a bridge between the corporeal and spiritual worlds. Pluralized word forms are commonly used to address both a person's spirit-self and their spirit-bridge counterpart simultaneously, to avoid disrespecting one or the other.
Since, like… ALWAYS, Selkie. (For this installment of Poor Time Management Theater, I may focus on trying to make Wednesdays strip on-time then go back to this one later.)
I'd ask how many people had wondered about where Selkie's speech patterns come from, but I am afraid the amount of affirmative responses would crash the comments server.
Hope everyone had a good holiday. I loves me some Christmas but I think I love National Clearanced Candy Day almost as much. :3 Also, because I’ve been trying to do more with the line work and because arts and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The quote about fleeing comes from sarnothi hand-to-hand combat traditions. Meaning, yes, there IS mermaid karate. The techniques don't do much on land though. XD
I was almost going to do a Christmas Filler instead of the next strip in line, partially because I feel really “tempting fate”-y about doing this particular subject on Christmas Day, but I instead chose to keep with my tradition[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
