I’m hard at work on scripting out stuff for my In-Submission Zuda entry Operation Electric Eel Fighter. Wait now I wish that was really the title. Let’s all hope it gets in so I can finally stop teasing you about it.

I’m also at the drawing board trying to work through some materials for publisher submissions. This is a new process to me and looking through my existing stories has given me some clarity as to what I need to be working on in the moment. You see, most of my stories are long. I believe this is a good thing for when somebody is willing to give me a shot, because I have a large back catalog of compelling stuff to work from. However, as a newbie in this game, I’m pretty sure nobody’s going to hand me a deal for some 60 issue series.

So I work, and brainstorm. It’s my least favorite part of the process, but I stumbled onto some old piece of a short story and it looks like a decent foundation. Pillage your own memories for today’s victories.

In the meantime, I decided to amuse myself with some sketching and some Fist of the North Star on Hulu last night. This happened.

North Star Cross-Stepping Five Finger Smash, A Dining Room In Hell’s Servant Quarters Awaits You

So don’t blame me for silly posts, blame the story.

I was also doing some more character sketches for the seemingly unending cast of Codename Operation Electric and came up with this. It only took me about 5 tries and multiple screaming fits to get that pose down, but it turned out cute so I was happy. Here’s Trish and her big sister Mimi:

Torturing your siblings: a lifelong passion

Thanks for stopping by.

In case you don’t follow it, Goodbye Blue Monday’s new story arc is going to start today. We’ll discover some inner secrets about everybody’s favorite orange cat, and a big surprise is in the works for Itty. Go catch up if you haven’t already!

Doing some more sketches for the poorly-titled Electric. This time we’ve got our classroom hottie Stephanie coming to be that dangerously adorable girl next door. She’s the one with all the off-kilter facebook pics and the temper from some hormone-soaked level of hell. That stuff will still be around 30 years in the future right? Sure it will.

Have a looksee, and keep an eye out for the next post, where I drop some fanart style shit on your shitty asses.

Stephanie – hot, brainy, totally nail-driving crazy

Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve done 3 pages of character sketches for this…beast of a story. It doesn’t have a name yet, so we’re just going to call it Electric. Not with any real purpose, just because that was the word that came to mind when I started writing it (and the name i put on the project folder…which makes it a slightly more official title than New Folder).

Here’s sketch #1… #2 and 3 after the jump.

Trish – Skinny chicks, emo girls, a skull-cap, and bloomer shorts

Michael – I started with Conor Oberst, moved on to that kid from Dazed and confused, then found Michael in the middle

Benji – Some shots were too Shojo, I misspelled Kawaii, and then I found a kid I liked

Colors were thrown in just to test, I’ll probably end up changing them up a little (Michael especially). But I did figure out that Trish should be a redhead, because they’re hot and it sets her apart from the rest of the kids in her class. Also they are hot.

I’ll keep working on character sketches, there’s still about 6 main people and a bunch of incidentals to cover for the first 8 page comic so keep an eye out. Also maybe I’ll come up with a title! Exciting!

Thanks for stopping by.
