St. Louis is a Ghost Town

It totally is.
I went there on vacation last weekend, and there was almost no people around. Don't get it. Regardless, it was both fun an relaxing.
Now back to work.

Remember when I said I was going to work on some scripts? I lied, I totally haven't. But I really want to get work done, so I'm going to try and write some now, finish a comic tonight, and then do another one tomorrow. Wouldn't that be something?

I also toyed around with introducing another character, and sketched it out, but I don't think I will. Not soon, anyway. Figure I should develop my current characters a little more because I start branching out so much. Quality, not quantity. Or something like that.

It's in the eyes

I am in a constant state of trying to improve my "artwork" in my comic, and the latest thing I've been working on is eyes.
Specifically, my cartoon characters don't have irises, or eyeballs for that matter. Just big pupils, staring into the abyss. So I've been trying to come up with an eye design that isn't just a pupil, but also isn't freakishly detailed or looks like anime-eyes. This is what I came up with:
So, if anyone has an opinion on it, let me know, because I honestly am not 100% sold on it yet. But, I do want to do something, since I feel like better-drawn eyes can convey emotions better.
In other news, I have scripts written, but have not had a lot of time to draw. I am trying to fix this, and vacations aren't helping, but... hopefully we should be back on track in August at the latest.

New Blog, old crap

So I decided to move my blog stuff over to here, because Livejournal love the ads, and they were annoying for a variety of other reasons. You can read my old stuff here.
New plan! Will try to comic Mondays, and Blog Fridays. Except for today, since I'll be on vacation tomorrow, so yeah.
Sound good? I think so. Let's get started.
