Ugh, I have a damn headache. I blame caffeine, or the lack thereof.
I have been doing stuff, just nothing easily visible yet. I’m still working a bit on the Scary Girl script, and plan to get it going sometime soon. I may actually start working on SEP some more while I’m doing the script.
I’ve also been getting back into music some. I hijacked my keyboard from my dad, and am slowly figuring it out. (I can’t play piano, but I can manage a little on a keyboard. Kinda.) I also borrowed a mic (fuck you, Firefox, “mic” is not misspelled) from him, with the intent of doing some vocal stuff. As it turns out, my sound card doesn’t have a preamp for the mic input, so most decent gear is off limits without a mixer or at least a standalone preamp. I do have a cheap little mic that came with my parents’ old computer, and long story short, you will not be hearing any vocal work from me anytime soon. I will try and get something written (never my strong suit) but that’s pending me buying a patch cord to get my keyboard to play nice with Audacity. I’m also thinking of borrowing one of my dad’s guitars and finally teaching myself to play, because A) I don’t like synthesizing guitars on principal, and B) my keyboard is a (pretty nice) consumer-grade model, so it doesn’t have any decent guitar voices anyhow. (There are a lot of downright amazing voices, though.)
7:18 (If this isn’t less than the normal time people spend on blog entries, it should be.)
But I haven’t actually drawn anything lately, so I’m not sending this along until I have something sketched out. This may take a while.

Um, yeah, I have no idea where this came from. This is what happens when I try to do something with no purpose: a dude with a carrot-penis. I think it’s a safe bet that openCanvas should not be used for this. Where’s my pencil?

So, I’m drawing Serenity Rose. It promises to be decent, because it’s fucking Serenity Rose. And I started drawing eyebrows. You’d think I’d have remembered that witches sorta don’t. (Right side of the last panel, you lazy bum. i know how you do.)

It’s disturbing how quick I can sketch out this one-off stuff, but how it takes me forever to do just one panel of a comic.

I’m gonna stick this in Illustrator and see if I can’t get a nice lineart and add some sort-of color.
