Capers and hijinx.
Lost electricity for four hours yesterday, so I pulled out my brush markers to see if they still worked. I’ve had a four-panel picture frame in my office that I’ve been wanting to replace the pictures in, so I whipped up this little piece! Bought a few more colors I was missing with the intent to make a cleaner one later. But man, it’s been ages.

Redrawing some early scenes of Sombulus this morning for the print release. I’m really enjoying the perpetually arguing and occasionally butt-kicking royal family of Tirani again. I could do a whole comic just about these guys.
It’s not often you come back from your workout and realize you’ve been cosplaying a Smash Brothers character all morning. All I need’s the blue accent on my pants, a Wii Fit logo for the shirt, and a balance board and I’ll be ready to rock!
New page of Sombulus is up!
Color palette change? Check. Ropes? Check. Ominous pipe organs? Check. All right, I think we’re ready to roll.

Some rambling about art and time management I wanted to get off my chest because I’ve been irritated with attitudes I see pop up a lot online (and in the real world)
Wow, this post says a lot of things I’ve wanted to say in response to seeing people talking about…
This comes up a lot in graphic design, too. When you look at another designer’s work (or worse, listen to your client complain about your former designer’s work), you learn to sense what’s actually the fault of an inexperienced designer, and what’s a rush job, what’s bad direction, or what’s a “too many cooks in the kitchen” compromise solution.
And sooner or later, you will make crappy designs under crappy circumstances too, and you have to learn to suppress the ego, put some things on a lower priority than others, and do what needs to be done to finish the project so you can move on to something else. Shaming another designer is as foolish as shaming yourself.

Sonia wants to know who’s playing the pipe organ and why they’re so terrible at it.
