Art post!

and you wouldn't believe where I found it

There was a stench coming from Yuko's office and it took her a while to find the culprit. For the readers with more delicate constitution, I won't get into the details, but: dead mouse, needed cleaning. Usually the once-in-a blue-moon mouse problem is quickly resolved by Rook's predatory nature, but circumstances brought this little guy to an early grave.

I'm going to be in Montreal this weekend, at Otakuthon! It's an Applegeeks appearance, so I won't have any JW stuff with me, but if you want something signed or want to say hey, feel free to drop by.

Yuko has been posting some art to her Tumblr - two female protagonists, one for a project that was picked up and one that we're developing. Here's another post of the second lady in adorable comfy oversized threads.

Oh, and I can't remember if I posted this but I colored some of Yuko's art:

It's been a couple of years since I tried my hand at coloring - not really sure how I feel about the final product.

That's all from us! See you next week.

Your colouring looks pretty damned good to me :)

Though I'm not sure what to make of the white parts of the tattoo on BandanaGirl's arm...okay, have now Googled "white ink tattoos", but still think it looks a bit like a sticker she's just slapped on to look hardcore :P

You mean, its placement wasn't a gift from Rook? >.>

Also, agree with the first comment... very pretty, but the tat stands out and immediately draws your eye to it... and it makes me think of a vinyl sticker o.O

Windowsill?

Top of the desk.

Under the desk in the back, where bare toes are known to hover.

The coloring is really well done, and the shading is perfect. I would give it a 10 out of 10. Do more coloring! >83

Kitty presents. Gotta love 'em.

Hahaha, ew. I LOVE the hand-done type in the first panel. It's gorgeous. :)

(reply to this comment)

first, very funny

are you guys going to be at next yrs comic con!?

(reply to this comment)

ahah yeah, I had some problems when I was living in my old house, near a huge field with nothing besides tall grass, my cat often went to hunt there and come back with her dead prey in her mouth.
I can't recall how many times I found tiny organs and blood at my door XD.
Once she even came in the house with a dead mouse, had to take it out myself ^^'
believe it or not, but I miss those times...

(reply to this comment)

Aw, didn't know you'd be there...
I used my money on games like Blazblue and Metroid.
Also, I think they went up on the price again so bleh...
Oh well, have a nice trip to Montreal!

PS. Great job on the coloring but you seem to forgotten the highlights or maybe it's me seeing things.....

My money's on collateral damage from one of the "bookshelf incidents".

(reply to this comment)

Judging by the way you phrased it, it sounds like rook wasn't the reason of death, and I only hope that books didn't fall and crush the guy, because that would be too amusing. Also, good music, deadmou5

I assume since you are Scott Pilgrim fans you probably went to go see the movie or will soon. I was wondering how you thought of it.

Also I was wondering if you have played the video game cause it is addictive and was wondering if any of you guys got it and if you think it is as addictive as me playing it 5+ hours yesterday >.>

Their decisions for artistic direction (graphics, gameplay, music) were all spot on. You probably will never find a more true-to-form game adaptation again. A++ would highly recommend.

(reply to this comment)

I played the demo on my PS3 and for a button masher that game is hard! It looks and feels really cool though. :)

(reply to this comment)

This exercise sounds really cool. I may try it out in the near future, for some game art. I love bright colors, but often feel timid in using them. Muted colors just feel safer. This seems like a fun way to get out of the comfort zone.

Also, your art is quite lovely. Thanks for sharing it.

Haha, similar thing has happened twice at my office, where somehow squirrels got in and died in the back of someone's drawer and it took them over a week to figure out where the smell was coming from. Hilarious in such a tragic and gross way.

(reply to this comment)

My cat's predatory nature manifests itself in bringing in live animals to show us that she can actually do some hunting. Fortunately, they've all been alive and totally unharmed.

(reply to this comment)

it's sometimes thought that they do this out of pity, for the human who can't seem to do any hunting at all~

"Sh-shut up." Eeee, Yuko, yer such a gir-rl.

Leaving aside the fact that I don't know if I could deal with a dead mouse either. Eww.

(reply to this comment)

Better than finding parts of a mouse.

My cats like bringing in live rodents(and small birds) to play with, so we've gotten pretty good at getting rid of little mice (or whatever) occasionally the small animal in question gets killed and partially eaten and we'll find the left behind tail, or some clumps for fur or feathers.

Fffff this is the cutest comic.

I don't know if it's on my end or what, but for the past week (until now) whever I tried to visit the site I got an attempted* redirect. Figured I'd mention it.

* I <3 noscript.

(reply to this comment)

That's interesting ... could you send me more information about the redirect at contact.johnny.wander@gmail.com? I'm pretty sure I know what's up, but I can't immediately reproduce it. Thanks in advance!

(reply to this comment)

... your coloring is good =D

(reply to this comment)

Is... is that a drumstick on the back of Ananth's computer? A floating drumstick?

(reply to this comment)

The one time I decide to skip on a convention cause I want to take a break, and there's someone from one of the comics I read I miss. Well Phoey!

But with all that, I'm going to say behind the printer, if there is one :]

(reply to this comment)

This is especially funny to me because my guy friend and I often relive the "Sorry for being such a girl" "....you ARE a girl" ">_< shut up!" conversations over and over...

(reply to this comment)

When my sister an I were very yung, we got back from a vacation. We went to bed, and my sister put her hand under her pillow, as it is quite comfortable.

Turns out there was a dead mouse under there. Needless to say, she freaked. I think she threw it at me. XD
