Can't really remember WHEN I did this, but I THINK its when I first contemplated on either creating a new I.D. for my Deviant Art page...or creating a tumblr...at the time calling it "Edtropolis NOW!" XD
Different designs for a logo were made, and I wanted Schooly to be front and center...because Schooly likes to be the center of attention...with no clothes on. :p

I should have done this sooner but whatever heh...but yeah EXTRA THING!
So if anyone follows me on Twitter, you might have seen that I snagged over 500 followers recently! In celebration I decided to draw a Minerva holding up a big 500 sign...in which the sign was covering up all the right places... ;)
This is one of the pre final jobs before I settled on a slightly different pose, for some reason I just wasn't satisfied with this one...but I thought it was good enough as a ...

Working retail, especially handing out samples all day to greedy greedsters and health nuts can be tough.
Don't worry Shelly, things will get better...once I draw up the ideas anyway. What ideas? You guys just have to stay tuned to find out. ;)

Sketches from the "bad day" page.
I actually sketched out SOME of the material months ago, only NOW is when I turned these sketches into the real thing. Also appearing in the comic are Schooly, and the wolf character seen in the "five stages" page, which between me and a friend, we decided to call him Scruff McGee. I thought is was roughly fitting.
New characters mean more opportunity for fanart!!! =D

Shelly looks like shes in not the best of moods...and its not even time to clock in yet... Tune in tomorrow for a new comic page! :)
Little bit different pinup this time...someone who actually resembles a human being, how about that? This time featuring Marge from The Simpsons!
Inspiration from the episode from the season finale of season 9 which was a REAL bomb because someone thought it was a good idea to have Principal Skinner NOT actually be the REAL Skinner. (The Principal and the Pauper) They DID redeem themselves however with Natural Born Kissers, which holds a special place in my heart. Enjo...

Sketches from the Valentines day comic. Space is ALWAYS an issue when it comes to comics and fitting all the characters into ONE page and sometimes one tiny space of a panel. With that said, I had to cut off Tarri's feet...not literally of course... =P
Also I thought her head was too big so that was changed too...digital MAGIC!

Ahhhhh more hopeless romantics...
Its Valentines Day at HappyMart, and neither Schooly or Shelly feel like working. But perhaps something will come along to spark things up...or at least make things incredibly awkward. Stay tuned. ;)
2019-02-14 19:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostI've been doing a lot of thinking about the SFW tier and contemplating different ideas and such...and theres a lot to balance with all these different tiers. I want to throw some ideas out there and see what you guys think, feedback is very welcome.
One idea I had is to to let tiers 5 through 10 dollar in on the two sketch pages per month instead of one, therefore increasing the attention of the sketch pages since you guys are interested in those. Right now only the SF...

Thats...quite the match up I agree haha...
This was part of a very recent art endeavor featuring certain characters that happen to be part of the Smash Bros Line up. And those characters just happened to include Link and Princess Zelda from Legend of Zelda, and Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog. I specifically made these three the prominent characters because they are from particular franchises that I've played and which I'm also quite fond of.
Anyway I thought it wo...

This is actually a very interesting piece which I never got to finishing, but still consider it an neat little part of my collection.
It has Sally, in her slippers, ready to almost take on the day after a few cups of coffee. Why I never finished it? I guess I just wasn't in the right mindset, plus I was super stressed at the time, and I didn't like the shadow work at the time, so I let this one slide into obscurity...until NOW! What do you think everybody? ...

This one is actually close to a fuller drawing but hey whatever...this is the concept sketch for a VERY old pic titled High Fidelity. Featuring my character Zax...riding a giant banana...what more could one ask for? Looking back on it now, I really like how this one turned out.

The eternal struggle between employee and customer continues...very ornery customers. So, another new character shows up, NO idea what his name should be, but I was thinking of somewhere along the lines of Mr. Stevens...how about that?

Sketches from the weirdo and jerkoff page of HappyMart.
As you can see angry bear guy is a bit taller than Schooly, presenting kind of an intimating figure for others who are Schooly's height. Though in the final comic I gave the guy stubbier legs because I thought it was funnier...do bears have shorter legs than their arms?

I could only image that those would make for good puppet names...

2019-01-31 19:06:49 +0000 UTC View PostSo for those who haven't noticed, I have created a new tier for those who are interested. Its called the SFW Option, which was created for those who might not be comfortable with as much nudity as they'd like to see on my page.
This option, instead of receiving the monthly pinup or any art that might be NSFW, will receive an extra sketch page from my personal archives, in which there will be TWO every month instead of one but ONLY for this tier. Other...

Yes, this month's pinup is Minerva Mink from the hit show Animaniacs! I've always really REALLY loved this character ever since I was a kid, don't know why...must be her kind and caring personality I'm sure...he lied. Minerva is QUITE shallow...SUPER shallow actually...so much that its hilarious, which is I GUESS what they were going for in the show.

First off I'd like to say that if anyone else knows what its like to work as a greeter at any big box store...you have my respect, and understanding. It is probably one of the most brutal and frustrating jobs on the face of the earth...especially if you have to be on your feet for nearly 2 to sometimes 4 hours at a time before you get any kind of break. ANYWAY enough of that garble...enjoy the comic!

Sketches of the "five stages" comic...there wasn't much difference to the final version other than I drew their whole body just as a height comparison especially for Schooly and Little Tarri. The wolf guy (I still need a name for him) is fairly lanky to which I'll need a proper height comparison to measure him against a short character like Schooly.
Tarri thinks Schooly smells...rude... =P

This one you might be familiar with from a pic on deviant Art of Finnick and Gazelle in the throws of pleasure at a beach somewhere...but THIS one is a bit different.
I played around with the colors a bit and a background was added for some nice contrasting and purpley goodness. This was ACTUALLY an alternate version of the same pic and I finally found a use for it! Enjoy!

With that said, you might remember this one from dA as well...which was one of my favorite ones...and now its up here for all the good little girls and boys to see. (I wonder who's behind the camera?)

So this is what a TYPICAL page of sketches looks like in one of my sketchbooks.
I'm not just happy with one stinky little thing on a page, I draw LOTS of stuff...different poses, characters, whatever, it all goes in. It can be good drawing exercise and if there is a pose I really like out of the lot, I put it in a real project! As you can see I drew a LOT of Tails in a suit on this page...tho hes missing something...probably his phone.

Well look at THAT!! A bonus comic? For everyone on my Patreon to see? YES!
This was actually a comic that was in the works for YEARS now until the computer that I originally created it on went all explodey. Now that I am on multiple websites, I decided to finish this up and put the uncensored version here for all of you to see! You may also notice that there is a character from HappyMart there...Tarri, that spirited little scamp...who now has Tails' pants.....
