Skook WiP #97

How are you doing? Are you getting enough to eat? Getting enough rest? Did you vote?

It’s the fourth day of November. That means I’m four days into expanding Briar Rose Taylor’s memoirs. I’m not expecting to get the 50,000 words written necessary to turn Daughter of Spiders into a novel. I’m using National Novel Writing Month as a prompt to get work done now that otherwise I’d do … someday. I’m putting in at least an hour first thing in the morning before breakfast, chores and then doing time at USPS. In the evenings I’m having dinner, hanging out with Sarah and illustrating the next Mighty Nizz story. I’m taking a break from social media. I’m writing the bulk of all of November’s newsletters in October and doing quick additions and edits before they actually post.

Mugshots

This week’s process GIF features a space station with infinite living space. Infinite corridors anyway. For infinite running from infinitely hungry aliens.

This design is available on:
A mug at my Zazzle store
All kinds of schtuff at my Redbubble store.

Mighty Nizz

The latest page of the first Mighty Nizz story is live at MightyNizz.com. A scan of the physical art is below. The final, color version of this page can be seen at the website.

A New Mouse

Part of the advantage of print on demand is that I can change the designs if I think of ways to improve them and I’m not stuck with a bunch of stock I don’t want to sell. I recently started wearing a t-shirt with the image below emblazoned on it. At the end of the first day I thought of a way to improve the design.
Below is the new version. It’s available on all sorts of stuff in my Redbubble store. Both the original (because it looks better on some products than the update) and the new version are available in my Zazzle store.
Have a great week!

See you in seven!

The Black Suit (2016 Version) – Color

The version below is the CMYK version. Like Daikazu last week, it’s brighter than I intended.

I enjoy having two different color versions without me having to do extra work (other than changing modes) so I’m posting the RGB version as well. I’ll probably continue do that for a while, until I either get bored or figure out what I’m doing that’s creating the bright versions. BlackSuit2016ColorRGB

The Black Suit (2016 Version) – Black and White

In 1990 I drew four images for the covers of a zine that never got published. This is one of them. BlackSuit1990BlackSuit2010In 2010 I scanned the first image and posted it online. At the time I decided that it would be fun to redraw the image in my contemporary style. When I posted the second version I (half jokingly) suggested that I should redraw the image every five years.

It’s 2016 and I’ve done a redraw. Only a year late. This one is intended to be colored so the shading is more minimal than the previous versions. BlackSuit2016BW
