    Aw, thank you very much! Yes, he is a handsome guy, we love him very much, and are so relieved that things are improving thanks to so many people willing to help a poor old dog. It was pretty scary for a while, there!

    Anonymous asked: how is the dog situation?

    The dog situation is awesome! I have the progress all stored under a tag you can check out here. I actually just saw him this morning, and he was looking GREAT! He acts like 5 years younger, as well, which is so nice - you can tell he is healthy. Thank you for asking!

    Well, thank God this is finally inked. Now to just do the flat coloring, and the 10,000 sparkle and shimmer effects that have to get embroidered onto that dress. Haha. Total… walk in the park. Yes. “Sparkles” is my middle name! (I wish.) The comic that goes with this contest entry is over here. It’s going to be full color, I presume either because I really care about the contest, or because I don’t like myself very much.

    I feel like a loser.

    Or a jerk. Maybe a bit of both?

    My schedule is randomly being thrown for a loop this week, and now I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to finish the page for Friday. I really, REALLY didn’t want to take any other weeks off for this chapter, it’s only 4 more pages, then I actually get to take a couple weeks off to rebuild a buffer… the lacking of which has really hurt me, as you can tell.

    Uugghh. I dunnoooo. I hadn’t anticipated spring/summer to be so hard, this year, but even then, there really isn’t an excuse. I have been utter crap at managing my time the past few months.

    So, in the alternate reality where I wound up successful and decided to reboot an 80’s cartoon… (how could I not pick Jem? This cartoon had such influence on me from an aesthetic standpoint, I have not been able to outgrow the 80’s. Curse you and yet bless you, Jem!) [[MORE]] This will require a bit of you being familiar with the cartoon Jem to know what I am talking about. But it wouldn’t be anything TOO novel, I would want to do something where Jerrica’s father had been starting to subtly pioneer more and more focus on digital albums, individual music downloads, more emphasis on streaming content, and online band promotion prior to kicking the bucket, hence making the fact Synergy is this big, complicated techno-garble more prominent than ever. Synergy becomes not only the holographic deus ex machina that creates all the solutions to Jerrica’s problems, but a series of PROGRAMS under that title (think like iTunes) which help make music more accessible. Raymond (that’s the bad guy who owned the other half of the company) would be gunning to keep the company in line with the more traditional industry practices, wanting to shut down online distributors, ratchet up executive profits, etc. etc. The same slimy villain stuff as before, but where he is trending more towards the old rather than the new. Jerrica is trying to use all-girl band Jem and the Holograms to implement her own marketing ideas - pretty much all of which utilize the social media power of Synergy - and show not only that new methods can compete with long-held standards, but often that innovation is necessary to keep something going into the future yadda yadda you got the idea a few paragraphs ago. I would be sure to pepper it with many underlying themes of girl power and combating sexism.

    thesweetseason asked: What does your lineart look like when you zoom in? It's super crisp! Do you use a huge canvas?

    Revel in the shaky hand mistakes of full-size canvas!

    image

    This canvas is just a little shy of 2,700 x 4,000 pixels.

    Strange creatures, right? o: I would propose a study of their habits, but that means also getting up early and following them to the gym, and that ain’t happenin’.

    icecreamkitties said: I like going to the movies early simply because it’s cheaper. Normally I’d sleep in until 10 if I could.

    I have already bartered that my ticket be purchased for me since I’m not big on Superman in the first place! This was a careful transaction, wherein price no longer affects me.

    kilomonster said: Morning movies is the only way to go! The crowds are always so much more managable. And on Sunday, people are at church!

    This was his reasoning! I think he put it something along the lines of “I am going to kill somebody if they ruin this movie for me”, so the less people that are there, the less the chance that he winds up a frontpage headline tomorrow.

    Ah, well. I have to go get ready! I am at least wearing my Avengers shirt as my subtle irony (the irony being I’m wearing it ‘cause I don’t much care for Superman, but any CAWMICK NORDS that are there will mistake it as me not knowing jack-shit) for the day.

    jeysiec said: I have experienced the pain of dating and best friending morning people, so I can empathize with yours. They just can’t understand how unnatural it is to wake up and go out before at least noon.

    Nearly 7 years together has made it so that I am also now a bit of a morning person, haha, I can’t stay in bed past 8 am. I have also retained my night person tendencies, though? I can stay up ‘til 1 then be back up at 8. I do miss being able to sleep in, though…

    mistyrydia said: HAH! You should go! I saw the movie last night and it was fantastic! Plus, getting out early gives you the rest of the day for fun stuff. :)

    Oh, I’m goin’, I dug my grave yesterday when I said “sure, I’ll go see Man of Steel with you”. I didn’t have all the facts! I was bamboozled!
