I deliberately left the emblems off Heather and Amanda's shirts in Jessie's flashback. I don't think her attention to small detail is very top notch. XD

For new readers, or those who may need a refresher, Selkie’s shoes are custom built for her unique feet. Her old shoes were generic tennis shoes built for human proportions.
This is mostly how I recall dodgeball games: a volley of cannon fire.
They have the “dodge” part of the game down nicely. – – – – – I got some fan art sketches in this morning I wanna share, courtesy of Mike L: Thanks Mike!
I had written a "good to see you" line for George before I remembered that seeing Sandy and Wu isn't a reunion meeting for him. Doh. XD
Happy Halloween, everyone! As a form of treat, I’ve got a special thing to share with everyone today. 😀 A while back, I shared pictures GreenGlow emailed to me of a Selkie plush doll they hand made for me. The[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don't know at this point if we will see a lot of the gym teacher Mr. Thompson beyond this scene, so just for fun here are some factoids about him: -First name: Chris. -Has a Masters Degree in health science. -Baseball enthusiast. -Collects turtles.
I haven’t done a Sketch Day Saturday in awhile, but since it’s Halloween weekend, this is a good time I think. Come back on Saturday to see a sketch of Selkie dressed up as a video game character! Which one?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I think Jessie must watch Regular Show.
I remember liking gym class when I was Selkie’s age. At that age it was just fun unstructured stuff like freeze tag and duck duck goose, or whatever you call the big rainbow parachute. I didn’t start hating gym class[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Due to poor time management, I couldn't do shadowing on this one. Sorry. -EDIT- And one whole update day later, I've gone and retroactively shaded the comic. Also added some classroom details to panel 3 that I forgot earlier. Yay retcon!
In lieu of Director Commentary, I thought I’d share the pencil sketch version of the final panel of today’s strip. I wanted a bigger shot of the classroom kids, but cramming so many kids in the panel made the desks[…]↓ 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.
The previous comic's reader comments brought up a lot of questions about what sort of teaching techniques Selkie's school uses that I must admit, I did not think about. :x After doing some reading, I decided that the classroom uses a whiteboard instead of a chalkboard (easier on potential asthma issues) and uses light colors on the walls and floors to encourage a "bright" atmosphere (the background shadows are also a little paler than the "outdoors" scenes because of this. I left the character's shadows regular so they stand out more), and has some potted plants at the front (not visible in this strip) for color and a sense of life. I read a few articles about computers and even iPads in modern classrooms, but decided that equipment that runs $300-$500 per unit would not be a good investment for excitable and inattentive elementary students, so the kids will use books and paperback journals. The desks have cubbyholes instead of flip tops to reduce accidental finger-slams. GAWD that is a lot of commentary. XD
Jade and Trevor, I borrowed Miss Muffet a second time for an exit scene, hope that’s alright. And I’m sorry for the horrible tuffet joke. XD Friendly Heads Up! There will be a Sketch Saturday bonus update this week. In[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was going to have the scene-change in the last panel as a smooth gradient, but I think the abrupt difference is more appropriately dream-like. Or it is for my dreams anyway.
-EDIT- Comic had a little downtime due to exceeding my bandwidth allotment. Fixed now, sorry for that! I apologize to those of you who check the comic right at the crack of midnight CST, had a late start on finishing[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was tempted to throw in a Girl Genius reference, what with the talking mad scientist castle and all, but it felt a bit forced.
