    Alright, this is more like it. I have a pretty good work flow in GIMP now. And I’m satisfied with the line quality now. I guess I should finish that script then…

    A test panel for hand lettering in GIMP. I figured out a couple of things a bit too late while drawing this that I’m going to be mindful of for the next time. Mostly to do with the drawing resolution and scaling which is why it’s a bit jaggy. I should also be able to find the sweet spot between this final size and the working size as far as lettering goes armed with what I learned. Overall, this was a very useful bit of drawing exercise. A good use of my evening.

    I have plans to post up my old webcomic, It’s About Girls, on it’s own Tumblr as soon as I can find someone I know who owns a working scanner so I can get the university-drawn version up there as well. It’s different. It’s 90s. As mentioned in the comic, I’m missing a chunk of the first chapter, which I seemed to have not grabbed before Modern Tales closed down like I did with the rest of the pages for some reason. I don’t really want to redo the missing pages because the difference between my style now and ten years ago is pretty broad. And I wanted to give my tablet a workout in GIMP since I’m on a Linux machine currently. There are some things it does better than Photoshop. Some things it does worse. Most of this was me trying to figure out a good work process. Next time I’ll work on color. Also: I need to find a new way to draw pubic hair. If you’re reading via the dashboard, I suggest clicking over to the site since it’ll be full resolution there.

    Cherry and Victoria. I still have plans to finish this comic. Or at least execute the idea of an all woman adventuring party that isn’t just an excuse to design fetish gear. The stumbling block remains the context in which to deliver that idea.

    In this era of the Internet, where every night is open mic night, it’s hard to retool old ideas even when you try to stuff them down the memory hole. Not because the internet remembers everything. Because even though you know the old version was lacking, there’s at least one person who doesn’t agree. And you feel bad letting them down with kinda-but-not. The above… Needs more work.
