Secondlina's Panels

Because some people really do pick at random. And the table for kids is the last table. And they always pick from the front tables.

Jeez louise. 

On another note, have everybody heard the news about the horrific DC reboot?

Starfire, we hardly knew ye.



In other comic book news, be sure to check Von Allan's Stargazer and this awesome webcomic called Plume. I do love them so :D

A little Tangled fanart to start things off on a positive note!

First off, i,m so happy it's Friday. My god. Work has been insane for the whole week. I plan on pretty much drawing the full weekend. It sounds like so much fun :D

I'm also going to work on getting con stuff ready. I bought all the stuff I needed today after work. I still hate Omer Deserre (local craft store). They never have the stuff I need. And not in the "we don't carry it" sense. In the "we sold it all three weeks ago and didn't bother ordering more". I wanted to buy cardboard to make small postcard-size things to sketch on at the con. They didn't want to cut them for me, despite the whole paper cutting table being RIGHT THERE. So instead I bought small pieces so I could cut them myself with scissors. Gosh, I know the store isn't that bad, but jeez, every time I go, they never have what I need and the employees always act as if I was bothering them (I interrupted 3 employees talking at the cutting table to see if I could get something CUT and they were talking around it...). I'm not impressed Omer Deserre. Not impressed. 


I ended up going to a book store to get most of what I needed.

I'm amused. Kate Beaton did a comic today about a historical personality I really love, Ada Lovelace. I LOOOVE HER. I've been reading a really good webcomic that is basically the "Girl Genius-ish" version of her life, 2D goggles. Actually, Beaton linked this comic below her own comic, which made me really happy. This comic needs more readers.

For those who don't know, Ada Lovelace is like, a mathematical tragedy. She's a countess, and the legitimate daughter of Lord Byron, aka a romantic poet who liked to put his penis in many, many people (he wrote Don Juan, if that's any indication). Her mom got angry at the sexy poet and pretty much forced Ada in mathematics. Ada was gifted, became extremly badass with numbers, worked with Charles Babbage, composed what was essentially the first computer program and died young of illness. 2D Goggles kinda plays with the idea that this woman's life is an ode to math and her enemies are poets. I love it.   

Gosh, i'm such a geek. Love it though.

If you ask me to visualize something, or someone, they usually dance in my head. I spend a lot of time sketching dancing too. I just don't show you guys because oh, the shame! My default  position for characters is dancing. It's like in video games. You know, when you pause for too long, sometimes the characters would wiggle or something. I don't know what to do with characters, so they dance in my head.

On another hand, dancing characters are hilarious. And fun to draw/animate. I'm pretty sure that's why all 3D animation films end with dance parties, nowadays.

And yes, I eat dumplings all the time. It's like a full meal wrapper in an edible wrapper. It's Amazing. 

Link's Twin (which i'll probably call Twinny on here) now lives in our building, right next door to us. We helped him move this weekend. Link is very happy since his twin and him are ultimate BFFs. I also enjoy his company. Because Twinny is cool. And like this, it's like having a cool roomate, but being able to kick the roomate out of your space when needed.

Also, Bonus, NAMESAKE SKETCHES!



For some reason, I can't stop drawing Warrick and Alice... Who don't appear before chapter two... Aaaaargh. Chapter 1 is pretty much Emma's introduction. And the plot's introduction. Then there's Oz. :D Yeeepeee.

The Namesake pages are going well actually. As I mentioned before. I wanted to have 15 pages up on the website for the launch. And have a ten page "security blanket". So basically 25 pages drawn before the launch. Well, the first 15 are up. And 4 of the security pages are drawn. I hope to finish at least 4 more by next Monday. Going well. The launch date is so close.... I'm... I'm nervous AS HELL.

The first chapter is probably going to be something like 40 pages. so it will take 2 months to get to Oz. Webcomic time sucks. I wish I could post every day. Oh well. Maybe someday. We'll see.

Please don't eat me whole, internet!
