Here are the things I had on my To Do list:
-Finish cover
-Work on the favor illustration
-Send next week's OJST strip + preview graphic to my syndicates
-Reserve this one book at the library
-Research next comic's topic
I thought the cover would take, like, 1-2 hours. MAX. An...

Ask yourself: Do you know a total badass who inked, colored, and completely finished four pages of comics today?
The answer is yes, because that person was me.
Ba-BAM. Next week's update is LOCKED AND LOADED.
That means tomorrow I can focus on finalizing the cover of ...

Okay productivity today! Coulda worked harder, but I always let myself spend too much time online on update days, to keep feeding my social media accounts with link to the latest comic /:) I got an adequate amount of work done.
Roughly penciled all four pages, and started inking two of them....

Week Long Recap:
Monday, June 2nd- I was supposed to write the script for the next comic on AdultFriendFinder. Though I had sat down and explored the site too, Matt had been the primary tester of the site and had taken extensive notes on his impressions for me. I wrote two disconnected secti...

Oh dang, I forgot to update yesterday! Rest assured, I was drawing the comic.

Oh gosh. Oh goodness.

Okay, so today entailed inking more cocks and cock sucking. I only worked on two pages, which is definitely below what I could have accomplished, but y'know what? Sometimes you have to accept that that is as good as you can do for the...

Hundredth update!
Over the weekend I worked on the cover-- purely digitally this time. Kind of horrified to realize that my digital inking in Manga Studio is now better than my inking with a brush :| But to be fair, that botched book cover was the first time I'd used my brush in months, so m...

Haha, as further evidence of how hard its been for my brain to work this week, today I inked by hand (for the first time in months!) on 11x14 Bristol paper the cover for the OJST book. I went back to traditional media because I thought it might make a good Kickstarter reward-- buy the original artwo...

At 11:30pm we decided to launch the Kickstarter at midnight, for no especially considered reasons other than it was ready to go and why wait.
By 6pm we were funded.
I'm stunned and floored and overwhelmed.
And I didn't get a lick of work done today.

Tuesday, penciling day.
Had difficulty focusing, my brain feels a bit fragile. Like, not shattering, but just weaker and I'm afraid it's on the edge of getting worse. I'm a bit off balance from whatever happened to it yesterday. So work was hard and not as productive as I would have liked it...

Monday, scripting day. Decided I want to balance things out in the comics-about-oral-sex department and this one'll be about sucking cock.
This is another one where there's so much more I want to say, but I've gotta pair it down to just the basics to make it fit in five pages.

Three out of five pages inked!
Oh my gosh, I really love drawing strap-ons.
Really and truly.
Hey, if you wanna see some super hot strap-on fucking in a gorgeous comic, you should really go plunk down $3 for Jess Fink's new smutty 15 page PDF, Valentines. 2014-05-15 04:24:38 +0000 UTC View Post
Got five pages roughly penciled. Very roughly. I should have pushed myself harder today, but I got the bare minimum done :-/
I'd post a preview of the rest of the pages, but most of them have reference photos in them of me packing so I'm just gunna keep those... off the internet. Even though...
