Fun for Some
Shaenon: More sketches for Kickstarter backers. This is way too small to make out, but Nick is drinking “Coffee of Uoodo” Japanese canned coffee, based on an anime reference older than he is. I have to keep the ancient weeaboo[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: The Nick/Dr. Lee relationship is all hells of messed up, but I love drawing them. All the flowers in the illustration signify secret or forbidden love in Victorian flower language. SECRET LOOOOVE. As usual, if you make a donation[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Some people just want to see Unity from when she had dead bobcat ears stitched to her head. I respect that. Channing: Man, you guys are just the best. It’s always neat to see the tiny little slices of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Tuitey Fruity drew this cute picture of Artie and Sergio. In official Skin Horse continuity, of course, these two were only a couple in an alternative universe where things went horribly wrong and they probably got eaten by plant[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I like when people request art of the Killotrons, but at the same time it’s kind of a hassle because I always forget which one has which arm implements. I ought to keep a reference chart of all the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Jeff suggested I do an album cover for the Dark Matter Rangers, Chris and Marcie’s funky team name in “Purple Waves.” I ended up doing a Fillmore-style concert poster. As usual, if you make a donation in any amount[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I hope Jeff continues to enjoy my dorky drawings of him. Thanks very much to Lancer and all our Patreon patrons! Channing: The dorky drawings of me remain one of the major coups of having done this for, what,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I end up drawing a lot of brains for Kickstarters. Not that I’m complaining. Channing: That Hitty is adorbs times three. Kudos to the requestor!
Shaenon: Another Kickstarter sketch beautifully colored by Arcum42. Look at the patchwork patterns. Thank you so much! Channing: The crazy color palette for Unity’s coat is, of course, a reference in and of itself, as the colorist has pointed out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: One final Kickstarter sketch and two interviews! Jeffrey and I were fortunate enough to be interviewed for the webcomics site Basket Case. Here’s my interview: https://webcomicsinterviews.com/2017/03/13/908/ And here’s Jeff’s: https://webcomicsinterviews.com/2017/03/20/jeffrey-c-wells-interview/ Enjoy! Channing: And now, the panic begins that I’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: My new editor is ruthless. Channing: Robin seems to be suggesting that the first two panels of each strip be rotated clockwise in position, putting 2.1 on 2.2, 2.2 on 3.2, and so forth. Hell, it’d probably be an[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A closer look at the background of the lovely unicorn tapestry in this month’s wallpaper. Incidentally, this is the first Skin Horse wallpaper that Jeff asked for a copy of. That guy is really into unicorns. Channing: The official[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: My first sketches of Aimee. For a while I was hung up on the idea of covering one eye with her hair as a reference to the horrible nerdgirl protagonist of the manga WataMote, but between that and the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Look at this! I’m illustrating a children’s alphabet book, The Adventurous ABCs, written by Jess Nevins. We’re running a Kickstarter for it now; back it to get the book, T-shirts, coloring pages, and more. The image here is my[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A logo for a circuitboard, done as a freelance project. I would be very happy to become the go-to person for nerdy lady-oriented Art Noveau artwork. Here’s the final piece as built by Trammell Hudson: Channing: On reflection, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Another illustration for The Adventurous ABCs, written by Jess Nevins and drawn by me. This is the A page. Channing: Loving the background detail! At time of writing, Shaenon’s team is almost halfway to goal on this. If you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Another illustration for The Adventurous ABCs, my alphabet book with Jess Nevins. Just a few days left on the Kickstarter campaign! This here is the Y page. Channing: Ha! With the comic title, bet you thought this was going[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
