Let’s see, what have I been up to this week? Plenty!
Hullo pals! My word, it’s a SCHEDULED Extra page! Who knew we would see one so soon?
You might have noted, today’s page is in a bit of a different style – I’m trying out a different way of colouring the pages, and wouldn’t mind a bit of feedback on how they look! This particular page is coloured so that the foreground objects are much more saturated and lighter than the background ones. I’m also going to try out a couple of other options, mostly tweaking the saturation and lightness levels on foreground vs background.
Ahoy hoy thar, pals! Hope you’ve had a good week!
I just wanted to check in and ask you guys what you thought of this week and last week’s detail of levels in the background. I think, ultimately, it’s a good move that will make me think more about the details I choose to put in. But it does feel a bit… Weird, not drawing the extra detail I would normally go for.
What do you think? Are simpler lines the way to go, or should I go back to the way I approached it before, with more detail?
Hullo everyone! Hope everyone’s ready to start the week right! Because I sure as hell ain’t, so somebody’s gotta pick up the slack somewhere 😛
Couple of things you might notice: Firstly, I’ve installed a little Twitter widget on the left there, so if you’re not on Twitter you can still keep up with my twittery escapades. It’s worth following me, as I tweet almost every day, and I’m uploading warmups to Twitter that you might not see here (at least, not until I need an emergency Extra page, anyway!). Plus, little snippets of what I’m working on, and my general thoughts on the state of the world (Hint: Hell In A Handbasket). I’d love to hear from you all on Twitter as well!
Go on, guess! 😀
Give up? I bought a USB mixer this week, which will allow me to set up my good microphone (once I’ve replaced my mic stand, which has managed to disassemble itself). My intent with this equipment? To do readings of my short stories and illustrate them, as a Y0uTube channel! It’s another ploy to increase my profile as an artist, but hopefully I can entertain a few people along the way (and, if I’m good enough, maybe encourage people to throw a few bucks my way for VA jobs as well).
Ahoy hoy friends! Apologies again for last week – unfortunately there’s only so many hours in each day, and I seem to have been working them all! Hopefully will be on a bit more even of a keel for now – at least, until the next work trip anyway.
Right, I REALLY need to go to work now. But keep your eyes peeled, as I’ve illustrated another article for The Ferret this week, and I’m very pleased with the results! More information on Friday!
Cheerio for now, and have a great week!
Hey, everyone, sorry to do this twice in one week – really goes to show that a webcomic should really be working a week or two in advance! But who’s got the time?? Anyways, I really need to get some rest, as I’m literally in through the door and still have a full day of work to put in after three days of meetings in Manchester, plus the fact that I had to unexpectedly travel down on Monday night.
Which just goes to show: Travelling on a business trip? JUST BOOK A BLOODY TRAIN. LIKE I SUGGESTED THE FIRST TIME ROUND. So much more resistant to changes in circumstance and medical emergency. Bleh.
Hi all, as the comic says, really sorry to fall back on this – I know how much it breaks the flow of the comic, but I just could not keep my eyes open enough. Last week really took it out of me and I desperately need to catch up on sleep, especially as this week is going to be tough going as well. I’m really looking forward to my next holiday, where I’ll be following an actual medical plan to restore my sleep debt, which I think has built up over the last five years or so. Shame it won’t be ’til early August.
Hi everyone, sorry, another rushed post – I functionally stayed up all night to follow the results of the Scottish Parliament Elections – thank goodness for polyphasic sleep. I need a bit of time to digest the results – I think it’s a good result, not EXACTLY what I was hoping for but certainly one that I think is actually fairly representative of Scotland’s political landscape.
Anyway, I really need to get to work, so I’ll see you all again on Monday. Toodles!

Hullo all – I was going to go on a rambling rant about the Patriarchy for today’s post, but you’re spared the delights of that until Friday, as I have to nip into work to make a call today – on a Bank Holiday too, boo.
One day, when I’m a professional creator… Well, I won’t have the concept of bank holidays and will likely be working every hour of every day. But, self-determinism!
Here I am pontificating when I reaaaaally should be on my way out of the house… Toodlepip for now, folks! And have a great week!
