Figgs and Phantoms
Channing: Hey there, fans. As you well know, recently there was kind of a big reveal in the strip which we had been planning literally since the strip started; it just took us this long to get there. Though we[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Channing: Welcome back to the second half of my original attempt at the recent big reveal. I really hope you find the included content illuminating! Once again, if you’re not caught up on the strip and are just reading this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Look at this! The Zombie Gnome Defense Guide, written by Andrew Farago and myself and illustrated by Brian Heemskerk, is out in stores! Please enjoy our harrowing chronicle of the Zombie Gnome invasion. Channing: Eat your heart out, Max[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I don’t work in bright, primary colors enough. This palette was taken from vintage toy packaging, but it also reminds me of OshKosh outfits my mom dressed me in back in the ’70s. As always, if you make a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Right now I’m drawing sketches for backers of the Narbonic Kickstarter campaign. As some of them are of characters who also appear in Skin Horse, I thought I’d share. Nick and Dr. Lee are not in Narbonic. People just[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: More sketches for the Narbonic Kickstarter. A surprising number of people asked for Tip, who, for the record, does not appear in Narbonic. Channing: He is, however, amazingly sexy. I’m going to go out on a limb and say[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Doodles for another work in progress. Channing: Whatever this is, it looks pretty amazing. I think we all secretly wish to be able to perform a dramatic denouement stride on command.
Shaenon: Oh, man, is October ever shaping up to be busy. Jeff and I will be attending MileHiCon in Denver, Colorado from October 19-21. It’s a big anniversary year for the con, so I’m just one of many returning[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: For this month’s wallpaper I was planning to do a horror-movie-themed illustration, and somehow it turned into this Art Deco Metropolis situation. Anyway, enjoy! As always, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Jeff and I are at MileHiCon in Denver this weekend. Enjoy this sketch of Robin making books with my long-arm stapler. Channing: Oh, Robin. Never change. Well, grow up a little so you can reliably assist with household chores,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A doodle of the main characters in my novel-in-progress. I’m psyching myself up to do some prose writing next month. “Drunk Fools from the Future” is not the title of the book. But maybe it should be. Channing: Okay,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I wanted to draw something warm and cozy, so here’s a quilt-themed illustration. As always, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, or contribute any amount to our Patreon, we’ll give you a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A few more sketches for the Narbonic Kickstarter campaign. These are all Narbonic-related, so sorry for the lack of Skin Horse characters. Channing: On the other hand, Narbonic characters are super awesome, so there seems to me to be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Just some miscellaneous sketches from my notebook. Channing: I now intensely regret never having written a storyline featuring Bed-Head Unity because man, that is adorable. Kind of like a scraggly barn cat is adorable, though.
