Comic Updates, ACEOs

I did these both yesterday, but am counting the Medusa as today’s card, because this weekend is pretty busy!

Daily ACEO, and catching up on a few things!

This fellow is Jysiri the peacock, who makes jewelry in the bird’s Sky Kingdom, in Ekwara.

Two ACEO commissions!

Yesterday’s Card

This weekend was pretty busy for me, so my card for yesterday is just a quick doodle I did for Stoker.  That counts, because I say so.

I think it’s time to clean my scanner.  It looks like I’ve got some watercolor smudges on it. :P

Dracula and Monster Day

And if you missed it last night, Ekwara updated, too, and so did Crimson Flag!

Some of you might remember that February 16th is Monster Day.  Evidently this year, the sixteenth is also some other holiday no one’s ever heard of.  Mardi Gras?  Whatever.  It’s Monster Day!  The traditional (three years strong!) tradition of Monster Day is to go buy a ton of mark-down Valentine’s Day candy (or fresh vegetables), to watch monster movies and listen to monster music while drawing monsters.  If you can’t draw, you get to draw monsters anyway.  Everyone can draw on Monster Day!

Yes, it’s a holiday I made up, but it’s a holiday I made up that I’ll be celebrating for the third year in a row this Tuesday, and that counts for… monsters!  If anyone else would like to celebrate, too, you are invited.  I’ll make a post on Tuesday for posting my Monster Day creations, and you’re invited to post yours, as well :)  (For those of you posting comments via my blog, there’s a bug that prevents comments from displaying, so you’re better off posting in my livejournal)

I think I’ve been through the worst of giving up soda.  I had a pretty tough time waking up this morning, but am feeling pretty good, now that my Dracula page is done.  I’m aiming to have all of the icons penciled and posted before Monster Day, and then after that, I have some other cool stuff planned.  It’s been a bit of a slow week for me, but giving up soda’s going to be worth it in the long run.

SODA?!

Here’s today’s ACEO.  I’m trying to give up soda (again) - I think I have it handled, this time, but will be getting more done tomorrow.  Haha…

Daily ACEO, Sword and Sorcery ACEOs and Ekwara sneak preview

I’ve started a daily challenge of making an ACEO a day.  I want to see how long I can keep that up.  I’ll be putting my results up in my etsy store, which you can visit by clicking on the ACEO, and on here, so I have a good header for a daily post.  I’d really like to stick with making a post a day here in my blog.

I’ve been going to the Monday meetings of the Bellingham School of Comics on Monday evenings, at an awesome coffee shop in town called the Black Drop.  I try to show up a little early, and I end up getting a lot of work done on Ekwara.  I am now halfway done penciling Chapter Two, believe it or not.  Here is a sneak preview of page 14, which is Sparrow and Ginger’s intro, and also includes West Raven, who’s also introduced in this chapter, in his bird form.  Some of you might remember an ACEO I did last year for Bird Day of West in his more human-like form, here.

I think the white elephant Sword and Sorcery ACEOs have reached folks at this point, but I’m putting them behind a cut here, in case someone’s still waiting for their envelope, and doesn’t want to spoil the surprise!  This was definitely a fun project.
