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!
I have a request for you guys. I have to submit samples of my work for a student gallery exhibition, and I would like to use a page or two from Selkie. But I can’t decide which ones1 I’d prefer[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don't have anything special to say about this one, sorry.
Fan Art Time! Check out this Handcrafted Selkie Plushie on DeviantArt! I decided not to put a picture of this in the Fan Art page yet… because Green-Glowsticks has offered to mail it to me! So I will take a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Panel 3 is my attempt at an "interesting" transition panel. Feels a little random to me, but hey now I can say I drew an extreme close up of a bumper.
My apologies to readers from Scotland or the United Kingdom, but with a soccer/football fan on the cast, this joke was inevitable. XD Heather’s shirt is also a shout out that some of my family members may recognize. Go Rockets![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have three separate story arcs intended for this chapter. Welcome to storyline #3.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am happy to announce the return of the No-Longer-Quite-So-Secret Director Commentary! I think the Transcript widget will work better for allowing the extra comments without creating some of the frustrations the mouseovers were giving people. Just click anywhere in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I tried to pay attention to lighting and shading direction in this one, with two light sources (a hallway light and the window). I'm so used to shading everything on the "Audience Left" for some reason. XD The policeman is named Officer Martin. I decided to name him after a background/cameo character from Rent. XD I'll talk more about the little boy on the next update.
