Chapter:

Welcome to Chapter 3. One day I may figure out titles for these arcs. XD I also have another Fan Art update. ChellRaeSelkie sent me more MMO recreations of Selkie: Thank you ChellRae!

Paul is kind of a big scaley Falcor (from the Neverending Story).

Chapter:

Oh man, yesterday was a blast! Saw U2 perform live. They put on an amazing show! – – – – – This is both the first official introduction of Todd’s siblings, and the last of the side comics! See you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

My google searches are a bit conflicting on whether the building in panel 1 is part of General Mitchell International, or the Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Museum. I can only hope I gambled correctly.

Chapter:

And here is the first of the two reader-requested “where are they now” shorts. Hi, Jessie! For those that don’t remember Jessie, she was the shoe clerk that appeared here.

I didn't realize until I was halfway through shading that my panel compositions don't actually SHOW that Alexis is propping her foot on the coffee table. Woops.

Chapter:

This is the end of the Return to the Orphanage mini-arc. Hope you all had fun getting re-acquainted with Selkie’s various friends, enemies, and in-betweens. There are two more strips left before we start the next long Chapter story though;[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I can't read Keisha's last line of dialog without laughing.

Chapter:

My rule of thumb for Amanda is that she is a jerk and a bully, but she’s also an eight year old kid. When you’re that young, you feel things a lot more intensely than you do as a grown[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Writing Amanda (even sad-face Amanda) makes me think back to my own childhood bullies. My curiosity got the better of me and I looked up my middle school bully on Facebook while drawing this strip. Apparently the kid who shoved me around so much I had to go to counseling is now a medic in the U.S. Army.

Chapter:

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans, and happy Selkie Update Day to everyone else. 😀 If you missed it, I had a holiday-themed sketch posted over the weekend. It involves dangerous acts of derring-do! I also have a huge[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I had to figure out a few basics of the orphanage floor plan for these backgrounds. It's four stories tall and shaped a bit like a lowercase g.

Chapter:

Been awhile since I did a Sketch Saturday bonus update. Happy Independance Day to my fellow Americans, and happy weekend to everyone else. 😀 I drew this bonus sketch at work, and on my second break I did a different[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I wanted to draw Todd doing something more interesting than standing and watching Selkie, so... juggling sparklers! :D I have decided this is canon. Todd can juggle.

Chapter:

I am now back in town from my trip to Florida. We visited my brother’s future in-laws (they’re very nice people who treated us like family the entire time, stuffed us to the gills with food, and gave us mangos[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thought I'd try a two-part shading style on the background this time around. See how it works.

Chapter:

I like to think the orphanage staff disabled the game system’s wireless capabilities. On-line gamer chatter is not a thing youngin’s need to hear. Slightly related! I got curious and looked up XBox Live clips on Youtube. I think this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Cabbage Patch Commandos is a kid-friendly homage to Team Fortress 2. Instead of bullets and blowing up, you have carrot juice and fainting, and the pyro's fire is more like cartoon fire, where you just go "BOMPH" and turn into a burnt matchstick with blinking eyes.

Chapter:

Sandy’s dialog in Panel 3 is a (slightly paraphrased) reference to one of my favorite Disney movies. Guess which one!

I almost made the plastic snake a copperhead. Changed my mind to a garter snake because it's too small for complex patterning.
