Pretty much the above, I’m on a roll lately, but the roll doesn’t seem to be taking me anywhere to the next update of this comic. So rather than putting out a crappy, overworked page, I decided to focus on inking and colouring playing cards right now, and I’ll have a CitK done for next week.
In other news, last Saturday was CitK’s second birthday! Now I can officially sayI’ve been drawing a comic for “Years”.
I started a Tumblr recently, and by a bit of a fluke, one of the first blogs I started following was Escher Girls. Since doing so I’ve become hyper-conscious about oversexualizing female characters. (This shortly after a personal epiphany that drawing sexy women wasn’t undermining the humanity of real women) This picture started out as an attempt to see if I drew Midnight as she would actually look as a strong, independent, antisocial, apathetic young woman, or as an idealized woman who is “Strong” and “Mysterious” because I find those qualities attractive. (I spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff. It’s not a matter of being politically correct, I’m not just trying to be on the right side when the revolution comes or anything. I just really want to do the right thing, and that can be a hard line to walk when you’re a virgin cartoonist)
Also, I’ve started using the Metal Snail blog again, I’m trying to update every day or two…
No comic is sad. But nice picture of midnight makes up for it.
I have to say she is a very interesting character with the most developed wardrobe out of the hole cast.
links are broken.
Cool, don’t burn yourself out in “only” (congrats!) your second year! Will be looking forward to seeing further comics when you can get them out & feel good with your work.
Keep it up & thanks for the comics.
