Shaenon: Jeffrey did this. I totally blame him. Channing: Ahem, yes. A throwaway gag on our January 14 strip suggests that Leo is a budding webcomicker, which is unsurprising, because by rough estimate every single person in the entire gargahooling[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Borrowers
Shaenon: Tremendous thanks to Feech for providing us with this touching Valentine’s Day art. I can really feel the love coming out of this one. P.S. I dig the boots. Channing: I’m really absurdly pleased by the fact that the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Another doodle I sent to Jeffrey. Tip’s dress is based on a costume Kevin O’Neill drew on Mina Murray on one of the covers for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a much more effective (not to mention better drawn)[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Wow, pants! At some point, I’d like to do a series of sketches of Tip in outfits inspired by Bugs Bunny’s hottest drag looks: bobby soxer, hillybilly girl, Eskimo girl, lady hunter who says, “Ah would just looove a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This was the first SH guest art we received, around the end of week one. Ed Gedeon was kind enough to immortalize one of Tip’s proudest moments as a psychologist in lolcat form. Or lollion. Thanks, Ed! Incidentally, perhaps[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I probably shouldn’t share this sketch, since I might actually use this outfit in the strip at some point, and OMG SPOILERS. But what the hell. As many readers have by now noted, there’s a strong Oz influence in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Thanks enormously to Dave Van Domelen for this Tip pinup. I’m tempted to just turn Sunday into a Millie the Model type feature where people send in fashion designs for Tip and then I draw the best ones into[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Random doodles of Unity. I’m pretty pleased with her design. Sweetheart is probably going to change a lot over the next year as I figure out how to draw her, but Unity and Tip are, I think, more or[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: We were extremely pleased to see this take on Leo’s webcomic, by Ed Gedeon. I suspect this is the version produced after Leo gets a collaborator with better artistic skills who later takes over the strip and shuts him[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This painfully adorable portrait of the Skin Horse field team comes to us from André Richard, who draws Jeepers on Girlamatic. Thanks, André! Channing: Right. Here I am, still reeling in hyperglycemic shock from all the leftover Easter jellybeans,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Indigo, who draws Kismetropolis, sent us this drawing of Unity looking dangerously happy. Thanks, Indigo! Channing: Emotions are sort of a mixed bag, with Unity. You pretty much know where you stand with unhappy, but when she’s smiling, anything[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Another drawing from Indigo of Kismetropolis fame, this time of Tip. And he looks stunning. Very nice work on the arm hair. Channing: This, more than any rendition of Tip so far, really hammers home for me his ability[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Now that the strip’s rolling along nicely, more or less, I thought I’d share the email I sent Jeffrey when I first came up with the idea for Skin Horse. At this point, I was just soliciting feedback, but[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Continuing the email from last Sunday… Skin Horse has a staff of five: — Tip is a transvestite psychologist and the department’s human liaison. He has a doctorate in research psychology which technically qualifies him to work with nonhuman[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: More from the original Skin Horse email: — Moustachio the Thinkonium is a massive copper clockwork robot built in the Victorian era. He is no longer mobile but can still think and talk, albeit not necessarily all that well.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: And here’s what the thumbnails for Skin Horse strips look like. Guess whose is whose! It’s kind of funny, seeing the characters’ names and dialogue written out in another hand, but Jeffrey probably feels the same way. Channing: It’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Ed Gedeon has managed a crossover between Skin Horse and Dan Mazur’s Palindramas! Now that is definitely something right there. Dan ran this on the Palindramas site a few weeks back, so my apologies if you’ve already seen it.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: That Guy drew this nifty sketch of one of the toy robots flying its little biplane. He also provided this color robot portrait: Aww! Channing: Judging by the “Don Quixote” reference on the wing, the toy robots are highly[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
