It’s been a brilliant holiday weekend, but rather unfortunately I have acquired a bit of a headache, so I’ll just put this up and hope you had as awesome a weekend as I did!
Toodles!

Due to a number of my projects colliding spectacularly, it’s now 1 AM again as I preload this comic! But y’know what, I don’t mind – This truly is what is meant by the phrase ‘suffer for your art’; If you’re not dedicating most of your runtime to your chosen artform(s), you’re either only doing it as a hobby, or you’ve got a hell of a lot more of a way to go than you think!
Aaaaaaanyways, I’d also like to congratulate my Aunt Karen, who completed the Greater Manchester Marathon this weekend in just under 5 hours. Well done on an amazing achievement!
In the last week or so, a number of billboards have been cropping up in and around Manchester. Here, take a look for yourselves!
http://www.dearprogress.co.uk/
As it’s described on the billboards, this campaign is “a self analytical critique of consumer life”, directly posing such questions as “What lie will I wear today?”, and wielding statements like “We breathe shallower now.”
The campaign has been designed to provoke thought and conversation about the modern consumer experience, and to highlight the failings of contemporary consumer culture. A noble goal, to be sure, but (as I am in contrarian mode this week and being a grumpy bear) I have my problems with the campaign.
Aloha! Welcome to some more tweaks and changes! In this edition you’ll find:
- A different color pallette, with actual consideration for what will look good: Characters will now be illustrated in lighter, more heavily saturated colors, while backgrounds and background characters will be illustrated in darker, less saturated colors. This should allow the characters to really pop out of the background. I’ve also tweaked some of the character colors a fair bit as well, but you can expect these to change until I’m REALLY happy with what I’ve done!
- Even MORE detailed backgrounds! Really helps give it a sense of scale and space, don’t you think?
- Added in a second degree of shading, to help add some real volume to the picture.
I’m pretty pleased with the results of this page, although I still think I’ve got a wee bit of tweaking here and there to get it looking juuuust right. Still, progress!
Right, before I leave you, remember that tomorrow my weight loss blog will be updated for the first time in a couple of weeks! Catch how I failed to stay in shape (but didn’t really overdo it all that much) on my weekly blog post, here!
