It's a day late and it's more of a step backward than in the right direction.
I don't know what happened with this.
I liked the sketch but as I inked it all in everything fell apart.
But stubbornness made me finish it even when I didn't want to.
I have to stick to a schedule, even if the comic looks like shit to me.
Hopefully you get a brief chuckle out of it, at least.
I need to get back to practicing.

Here I'm trying to take a stab at value. Feel free to comment on anything I'm doing right and/or wrong.
This would be a first attempt at digital painting and I can see why people recommend fruit. Simple shapes, easy to understand lighting, good value transition.
Enjoy!

Blargh.
Rough week indeed. I needed to vent more than aim for a joke.
I miss the peace and quiet of living out in the country. Helped with letting off steam after a long day or whole week.
And the clear night were perfect to relax under. Being able to see every star; priceless.
Moving on to the art.
I not exactly sure how to show that transition from water-bank-mainland. I tried the best I know how but it still looks wrong.
I should have used references.
Again, nothing fancy with the colours.
I'm happy with the gestures. I feel like I got the skipping-rock pose to be accurate.
The second panel makes me chuckle with the buckling knees.
Oh Becky!
That rock is just too big for you.
Wait...this is like a metaphor for life, isn't it?
...
Enjoy!

This one was definitely last-minute.
Not much else to say.
I've never even played poker so I don't even know if I'm using the right terminology.
I'm really good at being a guy; let me tell you.
There's plenty of forest preserves around Chicago-suburbs. The one I live closest to offers a chance to view some elk.
I have to say, they're pretty damn beautiful. I also thought it was funny that as a bunch of people crowded around them, one elk poked it's head up and caught a glimpse of me. As I walked around the bend it started jogging alongside me.
Whether that was intentional or not I thought it was cool. What can I say? Animals love me.
I'm also curious as to why some have long-sharp antlers while the ones I saw had short stubby ones. Suppose it's time to use the interwebs for some educatin'!
P.S. i'm not sad nor do I take pills.
Missouri does perplex me however.
Enjoy.
