We're swamped!

We're taking today to push through some of our deadlines - this isn't a full comic per se, but it's an illustration we kept around for a day like today. Yuko will occasionally take time off of our immediate projects to work on something that isn't on a deadline - it's a part of how she relaxes. Incidentally this was also how she broke in the Cintiq back when we got it.

If you'd like you can still vote on what t-shirt we should print next in Tuesday's post. Your feedback is pretty useful! And regardless of the design itself, I'm glad so many of you like the Hokusai quote itself as much as I do. Words to live by.

I put up another post below about some recent Johnny Wander interviews and reviews! Click through or scroll down to check it out!

This is gorgeous. It's really visually captivating.

I came here to say the exact same thing... took the words out of my mouth (mind?) :)

I enjoy the contrast between the blindfolded woman and the robe that sees everything.

Beautiful work.

...that this reminds me of 'Samurai Jack'--I think it's the background. I could see Jack meeting this woman in his travels.

Me too!!! Samurai Jack is an amazing show... especially "Tale of X9"...

This is amazing. I would LOVE to put it up in my house. Would you be able to make this a print or a kind of poster?

I actually look forward to posts like these, it's always an opportunity to see what Yuko is up to. This pretty much made my day :)

This is the reason I love this comic so much: there is so much variety!

That, and even though you guys have so much to do, you still manage to not only update, but to make the update so captivating I still come back to visit every day.

It looks good for poster or T-shirt, but I think the background doesn't really fit, how about different shades of red, giving it an autumn feeling.

I come back to your comic regularly for the entertaining "slices of life" but this image is too beautiful not to comment on it - thanks for sharing your creativity!

Wow. Seeing this made me think of Samurai Jack and the good ol' days of Toonami. Props to Yuko for giving me a wave of nostalgia!

Oh my God what is wrong with your eyes?! Quick someone get her some Visine! But seriously, I do love the illustration.

Nice job, Yuko. This is amazing.

I would buy THIS as a shirt!

That dress... Is it based off the Flash game 'The Asylum'? I loved that game, and when I saw the dress paired with the title of the picture, well... if you've played the game you'll know what I mean.

This pic is really beautiful, nice work!

One thing did come to mind though, around the 5th time I was viewing it:

We came expecting a comic, instead you gave us a bonus illustration.

And the title was' Psyche'.

lol, was that intentional?

I view the aesthetically pleasing comic. "Sy-kee?" (butterfly? Mind?)
I view the comment. "Ah, syke [out. And also the television show]."

Reminds me of Melissandre, but as a brunette.
