  Makin' a mess of thingsDec 18, 2013 12:27 AM PST | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Just ended up going whole hog with the pencil and watercolor today--this way I can simply use an eraser to remove the lines that don't need to be delineating things, like on the right side of the head and neck of Selenis' self-appointed new friend. Got a bit messy in places...maybe I need to start to learn to use messiness properly instead of hiding behind nice tidy digital translations, I dunno! Was pretty fun though, I guess it's definitely more expressive this way, not having to try to convert my pencils to something else and somehow preserve all the nuances of expression along the way. Was so into letting things go I even left my signature in there, bam.
 
Hey while I'm being full of myself, I was totally mentioned in a video! That makes me real! It was the nice folks behind the fightin' mad Webcomic Underdogs group, who mentioned A* smack dab in the middle of an interview right here. Thanks, Underdogs!
 
Ooh hey I'm behind on showing my sketches here; I'd be more behind, only I've been slacking and not doing as many warm-up sketches as I should'a been; in fact, the second one of these isn't even a recent thing, but just a small pencil sketch I dug up while organizing my miscellaneous pile-o-art shelf--actually I've probably shown it before, but thanks to the magic of my bad memory, it's new to me---and maybe to you!

(That first one was just drawn with a black pen, but whatever Instagram filter I used made it look a funky glowy blue. I kinda like that one.)
