Hanna Solo Cover - Mockup

Doing a little preparation for Hanna Solo script and noticed that this comic doesn’t have a cover!

Sacre Bleu!

So for the 40min sketching this morning to keep my wrist and thumb nimble, I did a quick mockup of the cover trying to keep with a classic Star Wars poster feel to it.

I’ve been watching the Mandalorian and can’t wait for Boba Fett to make his appearance!

Welcome to December!

Welcome everyone to the December feed! Thanks everyone for hanging in there for this month, particularly with my hand being all gimped and all for the next 8 days (fingers crossed).

It means a lot to me that you are all hanging in there for Little Lorna and Hanna Solo comics! You must REALLY love the art! 😁

I had a busy weekend so I didn’t take the splint off for any drawing. A lady at the grocery store told me she had her splint on for 6 months so I had a freak out last ...

Okay. No more drawing TODAY! I’ll do some shopping for SD cards and a swim suit instead.

A little too much I have to confess but it was a little difficult to stop this morning. Lindsay was calling for me to draw her this morning! I had to give the girl her due.

20min Splintless Time... Lindsay From “Shallow”

I just saw a book that I’m going to read next month called “Game Girls”.

“Alix, Courtney, and Fern aren't "bad" girls. They are respectable students who have hit on a great way to pull in good money. They can buy designer gear, take vacations abroad, and aren't even out of place at a millionaire's party. As long as they follow their own rules and keep themselves safe, who cares how they earn the extra cash? No one's going to get hurt—or are they?”

So promising but seei...

Red Sonja

Okay... I’ve been cheating a little since the first poll. I wasn’t expecting Red Sonja to do so well in the polls so I kind of took the splint off three times since for about half an hour to do some drawing. I didn’t want to push it so these are very unfinished. Its only something to help me work through the look and work out my mental juices (as well as other kinds) to help push the story along... and besides... if I don’t draw, I’m going to burst!

This is probably the lon...

December 10th...

My CT scan is on the 5th and on December 10th is when I get the final okay to use the hand for drawing, typing and mousing.

I’m sure as a woman my doctor will share the concern that some hyper-sexual-pseudo-non-con erotic comics are critical to the sexual health of ALL women and as a <ahem> fellow medical practitioner she should understand how much I need to get back to work.</ahem>

Fingers crossed!!

Sorry for the mulligan.  I didn't have multiple voting activated so lets try this again...

This will only be a poll for $5/$10/$25+ supporters to narrow down the field a little bit.  Since the previous poll was public, I’m not sure how well it reflected the direction for a future comic.  I noticed that since the last poll was open to everyone, it may not be what you ...

Red Sonja in Chains.

Okay, I’ve been cheating a little. I took the splint off this morning to see if I can still draw. Its rough but I know it always takes a little time to get everything back. I do find when I take a break, I’m able to get rid of some bad drawing habits (or learn some new ones!)

I wasn’t expecting the reception for a Red Sonja comic in the last poll! My concern is that Red Sonja isn’t a major comic character and I’m hoping that everyone knows who she is as she has been passed...

Groan!

A update on the hand. It looks like my next CT scan is Dec 5th to see if I’m ready to start using the thumb again. I was hoping to get this done before the month was out so I can start posting again but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m pretty optimistic that everything will be fine but I’ll have to see what the doctor sees.

I’m thinking of starting up Patreon for December anyways especially for all of the new comers this month. I obviously won’t be able to do any dr...

Vote on future Comic Ideas... (multiple choices allowed)

A few weeks to go before I get my second CAT scan,  I’ll know at that point whether I’m cleared to start drawing again.  To be honest, I have taken the splint off a few mornings to get some work in (like creating the Secret Santa Post) as it is really frustrating using the mouse and keyboard with this thing.  I’ve had a couple of times where I’d do something I shouldn’t have and got a sore ache... and in a panic slapped the splint back on.

Welcome to November!!

I don’t think I’ve ever paused my account before so I don’t know if anyone can read this or see my previous posts.

Is anyone seeing this? Can you still read the comics and see my previous posts?

Good news... bad news.

Distal fracture but no displacement of the scaphoid.

So the break could have resulted in permanent damage to the bone without surgery but doesn’t because it wasn’t displaced (everything still lines up).

The doctor is concerned that if I dont let it heal properly it could become displaced and says it needs to be splinted 24hrs for 4-6 weeks. :(

Drawing? No. Writing? No. I’m just allowed to wiggle my fingers and that’s it.

So it looks like I MAY have to keep th...

Shhhh... its a surprise for Nov 1st!

Every year, I run a secret Santa for artists over at JabComix.com’s forums. Artists make a wish and then draw a name who’s wish they are going to draw and on Christmas Day we reveal everyone’s presents.

My OC Heather Fifflebottom is the drawing jam’s mascot and I usually do a drawing of her to kick it off but with my hand, I asked JAB to do the drawing this year and boy, it is so AMAZING that I had to share it. MarkKleanup did the inks and Moose did the colours.

Scheduling error!

Just an update. I thought my appointment was last Thursday but it is this Wednesday.

Grr...

I actually took it off the splint a couple of times to see if I can draw and it felt great. No pain or loss of motion at all so hopefully the doctor gives me the okay.

Even if she does say I need to keep the splint on, I’m going to push for me to remove it for a few hours a day for drawing.

CT scan done.

I thought I would get news about the results right away but I am visiting the hand specialist on Thursday.

I think because I said I’m a comic artist they are being super careful. I was thinking that their primary goal is to keep me happy and healthy so I can get back to work and do not cost the government more in disability payments and long term medical care down the road.

I’ll let you all know when I do but even if they do require me to splint it afterwards, I’m going to p...

I didn’t come here for a bunch of text posts!!

Hi everyone! Sorry for all of the text posts. It seems like all I can do is type these days. Can’t really hold a stylus. I’ve been taking the splint off a few times and it seems like the thumb is fine however, I’m going to err on caution.

The concern is that the bone in the base of the thumb provides blood to the small hand bones and if there is damage to the vessel that they can’t see by X-ray the bones will eventually die and I’ll lose a significant amount of mobility fr...

Drawing hand update...

I saw the specialist and although nothing showed up on xrays and she suspects a bone bruise, She ordered a CT scan just to be sure. She said that although it’s probably just a bruise, the loss of use of my thumb is too much of a risk to take any chances so even a 90% chance of a bone bruise is not good enough and they want to get to 100%.

Once that shows nothing I’m sure they’ll let me take the splint off.

I’m injured. :(

i broke my wrist. Unfortunately on my right hand and my thumb is imobilized.

next 2 weeks we’ll see how bad(surgery?) but docs dont tink so most likely 6 weeks.

docs said that either way because of the bone broken if not healed properly I could llose a lot of mobility in the thumb which would be horrible.


i pauses my account for Nov and will try and maybe Take some time to do a little housekeeping patreon. 


thanks for ur patience ...

Story edit!

I was working toward the ending of this comic which I originally really liked however like my original ending for "Sibling Rivalry" I thought the comic leaves us in a really strange state. (if you remember, the story was supposed to end with Shag selling Little Lorna into sexual slavery and then going to Miami to buy her back and then Luke and Little Lorna having a sweet moment at the end).

For the next comic, I was going to have Little Lorna become the school president and turn it into...
