In this Very Special Episode of Selkie, we discuss racism and the stupidity thereof. – – – – – New Fanart today! Jacqueline from ISO Photo sent me this lovely painting: Thanks! 😀
I bet you'll never guess which panel backgrounds in this strip I like best.
I had to ask my mother the difference between chicken soup and chicken broth to make sure I used the right wording. Apparently broth is the second easiest thing in the world to to cook if you count boiling water as the first.
Gonna take a pass on the smudgey backgrounds for now. Might change my mind later, not sure yet. -EDIT- Woke up and changed my mind. Less smudgey more… I dunno, marble-y?
A lot more people remembered the “Nei Li” name-drop than I expected. 🙂 I got some really lovely fanarts from Datawog to share today! Four watercolor paintings. 😀 Thanks so much, Datawog!
I considered doing a close-up of Selkie's open gills, but it's not really necessary to see her gooey irritated membranes when I could use the panel space for story-pertinent stuff.
Been messing with brush settings in Photoshop and thought I’d do the backgrounds a little differently. Not sure about it yet as a regular thing, (I’ve done a couple other strips like this before and ran into issues) but you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Pohl's bunny ears were one of my first mental images of the character. I almost didn't use it but... nah. XD
I think I’ve got everything settled down from Monday’s update hiccup. Just need to figure out a way to put the notice/title back on the transcript so people know about Director Commentary. By the way, click the transcript button below[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The nameless couple stuck in Waiting Room Hell are loosely based off two customers from the store I work at. Very loosely.
I clicked what I THOUGHT was an innocent Comicpress update, but apparently it was a full conversion to Comic Easel and now a lot of the site is completely BORKED. So things my be rough for a bit but hopefully[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For the hospital panel I thought, "It's a single splash panel, I'll work it out quick and fast then worry about the rest of the strip." Quick and Fast turned out to be a majority of the production time. XD
I had a few issues when I was younger of getting befriended by kids who just wanted to manipulate me or case my house out for stuff to steal. It suuuuuuuuucked.
If I can stick to the script the bathroom scene should be over after Friday’s strip. After that it jumps to the hospital. I don’t remember what exactly, but I think something was going down there?
The last few strips have used greyscale watercolor washes overlaid on top of the standard flat colors, to add a little more texture.
