Channing: I have been taken to task for the inaccuracy of calling my own short stories about Skin Horse “fanfic” since I am one of the co-creators of the original series, but I stand by my description. They are, both[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Angry with the Sky
Shaenon: Illustration I drew for a comics website. I asked Robin what to draw, he said birds, so I drew some birds. Channing: Robin is a good art commissioner!
Shaenon: Robin has created a super-villain, Tuperman, nemesis of Superman. He looks like a cave and there is a man inside the cave (who I think is operating Tuperman? More research is required). Superman stops him by throwing snowballs. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I’m very excited to be able to announce The Zombie Gnome Defense Guide, which I wrote with the lovely Andrew Farago. It’s technically not Skin Horse-related, but probably relevant to many readers’ interests, especially as I continue my streak[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: More news on my old comic, Narbonic, which takes place in the Skin Horse universe and is about the kind of people Project Skin Horse has to clean up after. I have two beautiful new books of Narbonic comics! […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: The Narbonic Victorian story–now available in print!–has some pages of odd lengths, so to fill out the space in the print version I drew period advertisements. Here’s one that crosses over with Skin Horse. Channing: Man, I have tinkered[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Channing: “Unsinkable” was a rather difficult storyline to bring in to port, so to speak. At one time, the ending was going to be much different than the one you saw, involving a massive deus ex machina with Nera’s mom. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Channing: Alert reader and atomic kitten catapult fancier Paul Lenoue has of late found an excellent use for his image editing software, to wit, making cute little macros out of both Shaenon’s art and some theme-appropriate Real Life photographs. Observe:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Look what my husband Andrew gave me for my birthday! It’s a beautiful stainless-steel pendant of the Skin Horse rocking-horse logo. I love it so much. Channing: Very classy, Andrew.
Shaenon: Some sketches I did of Artie for another project. Man, I’ve been drawing this guy for so long. Channing: Artie was always my favorite character in Narbonic and it is immensely satisfying to be able to write him in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Some thumbnails for this storyline. Surprisingly, the room full of cages dangling over a spike floor was my idea, even though it was hard to draw. Channing: It’s true, Shaenon brought that one on herself. I’m still responsible for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Last month I got to visit London and see the National Gallery. It reminded me of how much I love the paintings of Henri Rousseau, so this month I did a Rousseau-inspired illustration. If you make a donation in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Just popping in to note that my horror movie blog, Horror Every Day, is almost halfway complete. I’ve been recommending a thematically appropriate horror movie every day for nearly six months! This is the sketch I did for a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Sketches for an upcoming mystery project that I’m hoping will happen. Channing: Whatever it is, it looks exceptionally charming!
Shaenon: Robin helps me with my art. Here’s some of the original art to my horror movie blog, Horror Every Day. As you can see, he added roads to my sketches of Tourist Trap and Let the Right One In,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Another sketch from my current mystery project. Channing: Intrigued levels rising. What could it be, I wonder? I’m not being coy, I really don’t know.
Shaenon: I love the midcentury tropical pastel palette our colorist Pancha used for Queen Elena. For this month’s Skin Horse wallpaper, here’s a Bad Island travel poster designed with that vibe in mind. If you make a donation in any[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: As part of the stretch goals for my most recent Kickstarter, I agreed to draw a new season of my X-Files recap comic, Monster of the Week. That promise has been fulfilled! Please enjoy Season 5 of Monster of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Some ideas for Queen Elena and this month’s wallpaper. Also, as a bonus, this amazing cat Robin drew. Channing: Shaenon didn’t go into this storyline expecting to create entirely new character designs for as-yet-unseen characters. Great job on the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This is what I do to entertain myself. My only regret is that I didn’t have the chance to make Ira give Unity bran as well as pins. Channing: What a relief. One less thing I have to worry[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
