Added 1 new A* page:Yes that is a weird pose for the weekend! Things are all in all getting pretty weird with this whole working ahead business, trying to cram my weekend comic work in during the week and so forth; like, in the Princess comic I've been working on over the past two days, first she came out as a streaking female Ghost Rider, flaming skull head and all--no, really--and now I've realized that I subconsciously stretched the primary sections of her body by *exactly*--I measured this in pixels--33% along the horizontal--AS I DREW IT--in order to convey an increased sensation of fast motion across the page.
 
It's sort of neat but I wish my subconscious would clue me in as to what it's doing a little sooner sometimes. My conscious mind has been trying to "correct" this subconscious skew for the last hour or so but is now realizing that the subconscious was actually very clever about it, and stretched small sections of detail--like the head, hands, chest, etc--by slightly smaller amounts, as the eye slows down to rest on them, and did other things like increasing the width of the legs to make her look like a really fast runner just in terms of muscles. Man. My subconscious is apparently crazy smart. Now if only it was more of a team player.
 
Anyway probably the more subconscious version will be going up tomorrow, and I'll probably put the naked Ghost Rider super-subconscious version (Freud is sorry he is missing this) up in my deviantART gallery, behind a "Mature Content" warning, at about the same time.
 
Then I'm driving a bunch of people on what they call a "camping" trip, and I'll be back late Monday, hopefully, to post the last page of A* weirdness. So hopefully Tuesday will allow me to get back to doing multiple pages per day, and, eh, maybe not quite so weirdly--at least, not just subconsciously weirdly.
