Sketchbook: Essential Expressions: Juni (2009/02/07)

Over on deviantArt there is a long-running challenge in which you draw a character with the 25 "essential expressions."

The text below the title simply says "Senior Officer[neutrois] Juni Melrose" in Hiero (the phonetic alphabet obviously is not-very-loosely based on Hiragana, because I am lazy). Juni likes to add a spade to that last phoneme symbol. I wonder where it gets these ideas.

2009/02/24: To the wire

I don't just draw comics, I also sometimes work on music. Right now I'm working on getting an album finished (finally!) and so that's taking up a lot of my time. So comics may be sporadic or lower-quality than usual for a while. Sorry.

2009/02/17: Another navigation tweak

So, from my click patterns, I noticed that a lot of times people would come to the site, check the few most recent comics, then click on the "first" link... and then immediately get discouraged, probably because they then ended up in my ancient journal comics and, in all likelihood, thought "Wait so I have to wade through a few years of this unrelated stuff to get to the comic I was just reading? Eff that."

It took a bit of hacking, but I've made it so that now, clicking on the "first" link will take you to the beginning of the series you were on (on pages with more than one visible series it takes you to the series listing instead).

It's a bit inelegant (and perhaps even more confusing if someone does it on a sketchbook or fanart entry) but hopefully this way I can keep more readers interested for longer.

I suppose the best solution overall would be to put each comic in its own separate archive but that's opening up an even bigger bag of hurt, so this will have to do. (Movable Type is awesome except for the places that it really sucks. Not that WordPress/ComicPress seems to do this stuff any better, though — or at all, for that matter.)

2009/02/17: Did you have a rawr-y Monster Day?

Neogeen had a pretty clever idea: do a bunch of cheap commissions for a made-up holiday called Monster Day. So of course I got a sketch! (If you just want to skip to mine just search on "fluffy" but they're all excellent.)

I think it's funny that the monsterified version of fluffy actually has a way to asexually reproduce. (I only chose mushrooms because of my culinary interest! Honest!)

2009/02/05: Backgrounds

So, lately I've been using a lot of my own photos in my comics, both as peoples' hung artwork and, increasingly, for environments themselves. I am completely fine with people trying to figure out where the photos were taken. Guess away! (Ideally on the comment threads for the comics themselves.)

2009/02/03: Time constrained

I didn't have a chance to do this week's comics over the weekend (between running errands and having a social life for once), so Tuesday's was a bit rushed (as you could probably guess by my choice of backgrounds) and Thursday's may not exist since I haven't even scripted it yet. If you are worried about a lack of updates, you could always make some fanart for me to post.

[EDIT] I've got several more scripted, and there will be a comic for Thursday after all. I'd still appreciate fanart, though!
