I’m just so excited to actually be making a comic. This never happens! It’s kind of a breakthrough for me. I haven’t seriously drawn anything more than one page before. Learning lots, and taking any inked pages I can get.
I think I’ll do some washes to shade it after I finish all the panels. That’ll be fun.
On an unrelated note, I watched Vampire’s Kiss tonight. What a ridiculous and hilarious and wonderful and terrible movie. Nicolas Cage is really… something else.
I’ve skipped some days of Inktober but I don’t care. Type B here. They say the type A plants the roses, the type B stops to smell them. In the same vein, it’s not about what you accomplish with the ink… it’s about sniffing it. *falls over*

Also, here’s a little thank you card I drew for a friend who gave us such a nice dinner I felt like we should be nice back.
We both have cats that eat our houseplants, so it seemed appropriate.
HAPPY MONDAY! ❤
Here’s a twofer.
Day 6: This is a dog, in case you couldn’t tell. Dogs are hilarious. I’m not sure if these fancy ink pens always look like cheap markers when used, or if it’s just my special artistic touch that’s transformed them.
Day 7: I was reading about Echo and Narcissus, looking at depictions of them, and got a little annoyed. So I wrote this.
Everyone remembers Narcissus
But what of Echo?
She didn’t matter to herself
So she doesn’t matter to others
Always a footnote in someone’s painting
A wan satellite
A visual element
Used to balance out and set off
Narcissus’s self-importance.
And I drew Echo (alone so Narcissus with his lesser problems and greater charisma can’t steal the limelight), in the process of dwindling away into the cliffs. Soon only her voice will be left.
I actually enjoyed drawing this one, and it shows. Not one drip either! Except for a little scrape of the pen on the corner of the page, which doesn’t bother me. I’m mostly happy with this guy… at least right now. He’s the least stupid thing I’ve drawn so far this month.
I don’t know what’s going on here. I got so serious about the last one I had to draw something dumb this time. What do you suppose this warlock is up to?
