And 'cause I got some more non-Biff stuff done in my off time...
Current progress I've made on yet another Moogle pic. This was pretty much just a sketch from '18 that I wiped clean & started re-inking.

And with that, I'm off on a month(ish) long break from posting comic stuff. I've got another long story bit that requires some actual effort to do. New locations that need drawing, new characters that need to be made up.
You know... 'Cause having a metric ton of existing characters isn't good enough. I have to make a few more. For "Reasons". = P

Nothin' says lovin' like avoiding turning my Main system on 'cause it's an AMD & they just run hot. With the humidity in my area boosting what was slightly above average Summer temps, the last thing I needed in my room was "More Heat". -.-

Fun Fact: That poster actually took longer than it should for no good reason. It was a simple task: Drop Kamen Rider poster into Illustrator, do a loose trace, add moth-like features & a scarf. Bog standard stuff.
How the heck it took over an hour to pull off is a mystery. -.-

And looking at that process list, I forgot to add a step. I cleaned up my lines in Illustrator.
'Cause of course I'd forget the one step that let me get the dimensions right across the different views. o.O
So... this one came about quickly. = P
Started after watching a recent ep of Character Design Forge about charater bases & saying "I'll try & do something using the Labko base later.". As in later in the week after I got some work done...
Turns out it ended up being later that night!
I started doodling in the downloadable file & this little fish guy in a diving suit came out. = )

Bonus: I ended up finding a bunch of working files for pics I didn't think I still had. They were stuff I had worked on on my phone but my files there seem to be busted for some reason.
Thankfully, my weird obsession w/ having redundant backups in places worked out for me. = )
This was one heck of an eBay find. I wanted a device similar to my old T4220 & the only thing hitting those marks was another Lifebook. After months of digging through $100+ listings that were missing the pen, battery & AC adaptor, I ran across a few complete units for around $89.
Mine has 8gigs of RAM, 250gb SSD & even had a working copy of Win11 Pro on it. I ditched the OS but it was a fully functional unit from the jump.
Not too shabby. = )
I Finally got some Art Done! = D
Just a digital sketch but a non-comic related sketch all the same.
A Moogle to test out my new old Lifebook T726. I found one cheap enough to replace my trusty ol' T4220 which has become too old for me to fix up anymore.

And Now for a short break from posting the strip so I can do... "Stuff".
And by "Stuff", I still mean the next strip. Figure I'll be able to get at least two done before I start back in. I have tasted to joys that come from having a comic buffer & now I'm doomed to spend my days chasing that high again.
Woe to the cartoonist who works ahead enough to rest for we rarely get that feeling back again...

For me, 'The Brain that wouldn't Die' is just a cool poster. The movie... is fine but that poster was very much one of those old school cool type of dealies. It has Jan in her pan and that's about all its got linking it to the film. When I did my parody of it, I kept everything but the random one-eyed alien brain thingie in a jar connected to Jan's pan. I thought it'd be better w/ a Metroid at the time.
Really wish I didn't. = P
Real Talk... I still need to find a place willing to print that poster behind him. -.-
Despite having had shops at various PoD places, the Metroid in the poster kills any hopes to have it be an easy to own item for myself or others. It's very much one of those "I need to change it but I'd have to remake the piece" situations.
