Last night's ill-advised attempt to ink while tired gave me a chance to redo the panel layouts for this page. I think it flows a lot better now. I'll see how I'm feeling later about doing the inks. Pencils don't need to be precise but a skewed ink line is an eternal shame. #art #wip #comics

Rich corpos gonna rich corpo. But... EA's games all suck. Here's hoping it helps speed along the collapse of the gaming industry.

Drawing Music - Maze by Chelmico The lead track, Easy Breezy, is the standout track on the album by far. The rest isn't bad. I just feel they perfected their sound after this album so it feels more like a step on the road than a place to stop and relax. 7/10 Gokigen #MusicSky

I should have heeded my fatigue and saved the inking for tomorrow. This was the least smeared panel and the bag is the wrong shape! It was time to stop. Listen to your body. I didn't and now I have a redo to do. #wip #comics

Sunday Shame Music - Pinkerton by Weezer A perfect album. Perfectly uncomfortable that is. A raw confessional album about a nerd with an Asian girl fetish who consistently ruins all his relationships because he can't make his fantasy world real. Timeless. 10/10 Cio Cio Sans #MusicSky

Hard to believe but I got one of those once. I sent back a CD full of songs about hope and optimism being crushed, of an adulthood of toxic romances, and of being done with it all. Yes, the Weezer songs were all from Pinkerton. We maintained a friendship until we lost touch about a decade later.

Well, I made my plan for the next week or so. See yahs. #gaming #finalfantasyIX

I wonder if future historians will be willing to admit that a large number of us were simply evil.

One of the rejected character designs for my comic. I'm partially thinking of adding them to the cast, but I'm not making my own version of Urusei Yatsura here.... #comics #characterdesign

In the parking lot, sitting in the sun and the fake summer, blasting Loverboy like a true Canadian G #thuglife

IIRC drivers ignored the signage and went down SGR anyway. Drivers will never cede control of the streets to anyone and a pilot program will always fail. If Halifax is going to stop being that "boring car centric town" it needs to make some bold moves and making downtown walkable is the 1st step

It's randomly getting rare stuff like this dropped in my lap is why I started watching YouTube years ago. THIS is the platform's great strength, not Mr Beast torturing kids for money. Anyway, kind of a bop. 1950. #MusicSky

Tuvix should have been the start of a multi-season Janeway fall and redemption arc ending with the stunted Year of Hell story. It would have at least given Chakotay something to do. I do love the show but never following through on their ideas was Voyager's biggest flaw.

Minor art stuff done today in between filling out medical forms; Inked a page. Did roughs for another. Assuming I got the juice tomorrow I'll try to finish Digby pt.2 and have it posted on the weekend. #wip #comics

Some good news. After 1 year and some change on a waiting list I now have a date for nasal reconstruction surgery: End of October. And if the doctor fucks up I can go out as Franky for Halloween.

I'm never sure any given week if we're supposed to still be angry at Sleaford Mods or not. Jason Williamson is 90% yap so I get it. I guess it depends how ride-or-die you are for Bob Vylan. I still enjoy their music. (And Bob Vylan's) #MusicSky

This is another piece of media I wish wasn't a victim of ever-rising resolutions because it works as a throwback anime, a Daft Punk music video, and as an art project. Everyone should watch it at least once. Related: Discovery is one of my Top Ten favorite records of all time. #anime #musicsky

Comic Making Music - The Very Best of ELO I think it's hard to dislike ELO since every track is 3:30 minutes of quality sunshine. You'd have to be a real sourpuss to hate on them. They're definitely an "In the mood for..." sort of band but when it hits you it's a bullseye. 7/10 Xanadus #MusicSky

#Last4Albums #MusicSky How I choose what to spin: If I only know their hits, I'll pick an album and listen to it, or- If I'm in a mood for a genre and the act plays it, or- If an act gets hype I'll listen to decide if they're legit, or- If it reminds me of better days, or- If I just like 'em

Embarrassingly, Nova Scotia has 12 modern country radio stations. Only outnumbered by the number of "talk" radio channels at 26. And that shit is being pumped into every business you can find here. It makes me miss the days when when only had a dozen stations at most.

To be clear: STOMP CLAP HEY is *not* the worst genre of music ever made. The worst genre of music ever made is modern country-pop. That bullshit is just FoxNews with a slide guitar. Some rich asshole from a big city lying to rural people in verse. Repulsive stuff on all levels. Barf. #MusicSky

I took the old EP3 out for a walk in Halifax today. I forgot how oversaturated its colours always are. With the workers' dayglow overalls and the dayglow mural next to them the image was eye-searing. It hurt to look at. Grayscale to the rescue! #photography Halifax, Canada Olympus Pen EP3 2025

Maybe we'll finally see a protest in Halifax that isn't a happy singalong hour before everyone politely clears out for rush hour traffic.

Red Serge or nothing, Mounties.

Yesterday I got a call with a date for nasal surgery. This was after a year of waiting. Then the clerk double checked my file to ask me some questions. "Oh, you need to do an overnight stay! I'll have to find out if there are any beds available. I'll call you back with a new date." 1/2

I'll save you some trouble, guys. The saboteur was Trump's 400lbs of girth and 40lbs of filled diaper triggering the safety shutoff.

@weratedogs.com isn't top ten? Bad, BlueSky! Bad!

End of the Day Music- The Very Best of Roy Orbison Convincing people of the greatness of Roy Orbison is difficult because it doesn't need to be done. Do you not have functioning ears? Have you not felt love? Have you not cried at its ending? Are you even human?! 10/10 tears #MusicSky

I cut an Eternailty story about a tiny Insect Priest abandoning his faith because the Sleeping Goddess wasn't stopping the encroaching ice age. The Priest decides to throw his lot in with his people who are fleeing south because he knew that they would help each other, unlike his god. #comics

A reminder for my American pals.

Results- Two arms redrawn to their proper length. Three hands corrected. One eye moved. One background changed to something better.

If Satan uses Rapture Day to call Trump home in front of the UN he'll have a new convert in me.

Today's #art plan is to go over the pencils you see in the photo to double check everything is in order before inking them tomorrow. Eyes. Ears. Hands. Then I'll pencil a new page. I have some changes in how I draw hands that I want to try out. Spoiler Alert: Draw 'em bigger. #comics #wip

It's like the post in the quote but longer and more rambling. Like the blogs of yore.

#wip #comics Bad- Still making the same amateurish mistakes. Good- I'm catching them in time. Great- I'm pretty sure the issues are happening at the pencils stage so I know where to focus my efforts. How I render Digby's hair is still in the experimental stage. Closer though...

Update: Flight of the Conchords is still very funny. That is all.

Ink Splat Music- Good Place by Zombie-Chang Experimental? The songs don't stray from the verse-chorus structure we all know, so maybe no. But the music leans pretty deep into the wide variety of sounds you can get out of a computer. Not quite experimental EDM? Whatever, I liked it. 8/10 #MusicSky

Ink spill! I'll have to tear up the page and start over again. #comics #pimpinainteasy

Duck Duck Go thinks I live in Switzerland. I fucking wish.

The series is worth watching in general, but the most recent batch of ManBen episodes have featured some absolute legends of the comics medium. For real, Ashita no Joe is likely the most influential manga weebs have never read. #comics

Doctor today; After an exam the doctor suggested waiting another 5 to 6 weeks to see if physio will improve my back and hips. He cited that my pain wasn't as bad as before the last cortisone and he didn't want to use it too often. He DID give me the option to do them right then and there... 1/2

Almost in the 1%!

BlueSky's planning to boot the pedo art off the site if I'm reading the new guidelines correctly. Good.

10/10 No notes. #MusicSky

"Curtis Evans, of Evanston, a military veteran USMC intelligence during President Reagan’s era..." Fuck yeah, Curtis.

I can't recall a prequel that's ever been worth it, and I didn't much like Star Trek Enterprise. But I do think that they (and the first season of DIS) used Vulcans right: As a way of showing how anyone can use "facts and logic" to justify any shitty position they needed to. However...

My activity calendar. Friday ain't over so I might be able to work up some piss for making more comics before I go to bed and spend my usual 12 hours of trying to put together 7 hours of sleep. Anyway, cortisone on Sunday so maybe next week will see a solid 5 days put in.

SK and the chaebols need to accept that America is a hostile state and waiting out Trumpism is akin to waiting out bone cancer. The world needs to accept that their money is better, and more safely, invested in other nations.

And then he tried his own coup and the Korean public stood up and said "Fuck no" Now the motherfucker is in prison.
