Just a reminder, I am planning a day trip to Anime Central on Saturday May 17. I’d love a chance to meet-and-greet any Selkie readers who’ll be there but since I couldn’t get a table my tentative plan is to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I've been referring to this whole scene as Operation: Fuster Cluck in my head.
Rrgh. – – – – – This may seem like a weird question, but I am curious about something. I was thinking while finishing this strip up that earlier in the comic I would hear comments from readers about reading[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This scene needs more popped collars and sideways caps.
Little State of the Comic note for this week. I mentioned on the previous strip’s notes that I would have to miss Friday’s strip and maybe even Wednesday’s, if you recall. I am on a trip this week and am[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dagger Stare, like Incandescent Light Bulb Head, is more classic cartoon iconography. Mina does not have super dagger-manifestation powers. Well, not at this point of the story, anyway...
Lineart on this one is complete crap because my scanner isn’t working, so I had to take a picture of the drawn page with my cell phone. It makes a compelling argument for going back to computer-inking, I tell you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An early draft of panel 4 was a dream sequence bit I cut out from a much earlier point in the comic. In that original draft, Plo Quar (her mother) shifted to a 1930s cartoon style complete with big white gloves and noodle-arms, gave Selkie a left-handed salute while saying, "So long, Screwy! See ya in Saint Louie!" before jet rocket flames erupted from her feet and she blasted off into the dreamscape's stratosphere. It's a really fun idea, but I think a simpler rendering distracts less from what the imagery suggests about Selkie's inner thoughts.
I locked myself out of the website due to a caps lock fail… XD Thankfully I got back in quicker than I expected too. Comic is lineart for now though because I’m entertaining guests and don’t have the coloring done.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just a innocent game of chase your friend down and hit them.
Flats for now, shading in a bit. Got myself sidetracked looking into merch store options. Set up a couple placeholder/demo items on Cafepress, Society6 and Zazzle; still making a decision on who to use. -SHADING DONE-
I was originally going to put a little "editors note" narrator-box mentioning that Lynni is in a different class from the rest of the kids, only to remember that Wu and Sandy are ALSO not in Selkie George and Giselle's class. So, blam, Lynni's with them. So is Ricky because why not.
