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
-EDIT- Apparently I forgot to draw Todd’s rash. Not the first time that’s happened either. XD A few weeks ago I had the privilege to visit a classroom in my town after the teacher saw the article about me in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dialogue in a previous strip implied Amanda had already left the office between strips. I didn't really mean for that to be the case. :(
The office seems to be getting a bit full. XD Also, if you happen to be returning, I updated the Director Commentary with some new tidbits. :3 Thanks to Karl for prompting the train of thought.
I really liked the way this one looked without shadows and almost left it at flat colors. Changed my mind though. Also, I originally intended to address the speed with which Barbara Fairweather arrived at the school comparative to Todd directly, but changed my mind because I felt focusing on Todd immediately recognizing her flowed better. But in my first draft, the first few panels were like this: John (the principal): Mrs. Fairweather! We didn't expect you so soon. Barb (holding a smartphone, terse): Shopping. Cellphone. Buying hazelnuts. Ran some redlights.
Principal Ashton has no hand in panel 3. When drawing this one I put a text bubble at the bottom that obscured half his hand, so I decided to just not draw it since a text bubble was going there anyway. XD
I watched the movie Contagion tonight before coming home to finish the comic… kind of terrifying if you think about the movie’s subject matter in terms of the real world. I usually hate when color balance makes everything green-yellow in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I almost cut panel three and redid it more realistically, but to be honest the big angry fireball is what I remember every phone call to my angry parents feeling like whenever I did something bad.
Have a great piece of news to share with everyone today. Some of you may remember me mentioning in last Monday’s commentary thread that I was being interviewed by my local news paper about Selkie. The article went live yesterday![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
After the last few pages of drama, it was fun to break the mood with some bickering. XD
