Paintbrush



This was my first time painting a comic. Usually the medium is crayons or colored pencils, but, man, watercolor painting is just so much fun and doesn't hurt my hands. It also made block 22 look super emo. I did color the hair & skin with colored pencils and tried to do some technique with isopropyl alcohol to blend it, but I guess I didn't have the right type of pencils because nothing really changed. It just made the paper wet for a little bit and smell funny. I didn't go over it in paint again because was afraid it would bleed all crazy, and I didn't have enough perfect love to cast out that fear, so here we have a "mixed medium" piece of work. 

I'm really trying to be better at hands, too. Usually I hide them behind furniture or stuff them in pockets, but this time I really tried. Don't you dare look at them.

I did not intend make the dog look like Clifford in the last panel, but the scanner has some influence, too. 
600 dpi. 
That's what's up.

Lane Change

Instead of saying "rambling", we're going to start saying "monologuing".

Like, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm rambling monologuing."

Just wanted to let you know.

Go all the way and you do the right and left thru,

If pig meat is called 'pork', then what is porcupine meat called?

I mean, the term 'porcupine' is straight up latin for "quill pig".

Looking for food and reasons for injustice

I feel like porcupines were a little late to the internet, and when they got there, they found out that the pigs had taken all the domain names already.

Even the .net and .edu.
pork.edu

Imagine.

And you know how people take ducks and geese

These two appear to be plotting something for sure


And they make down comforters and pillows and other bedding items with their feathers?

Have you considered porcupine pillows? 

Like this, but actually stuffed with porcupine quills.

You could call them quillows.

Or use them as writing utensils.


It is already called a quill for crying out loud.


Just dip the tips of these African bad boys in ink
and watch the calligraphy happen.

I'm just the visionary. The logistics are up to you.

Fins and scales,
