Happy New Year, everyone! I'm starting the year late on my deadlines. What else is new? I'm upping my dragon-drawing game, and that's fun.
Thanks, all!

It snowed! We are buried in snow! It's so pretty!
Here in Seattle we don't get a lot of snow, and it doesn't really last, so when we do get it it's a treat. We took our car in for repairs the Tuesday before Christmas, they were supposed to f...

Ok, I'm back on track! Here's Wednesday's page, and Cheyenne got the colors in so early that I hadn't even finished lettering it! (Also, this one took a lot of rewriting.)
After getting the Kickstarter fulfilled (as much as I currently can) ...

eek! I lost track of the time over the weekend, and almost missed tonight's upload. My Mom had some eye surgery which went very well, she's recovering nicely. I, on the other hand, am a bit of a wreck. She only has the one eye left, the other is g...

Packing update: I RAN OUT OF MAILERS WITH 30 ORDERS LEFT TO SHIP! AAAAAAAH! HOW DID I MIS-COUNT? HOW? WHYYYYY?
Ahem. Anyway, today new ones arrived, and now that the page is up, I can get back to putting books in them.
I also got...

And here is Monday's page! Phil got a little ahead because he didn't want to be drawing during a con, so it's nice to have it early.
I can't say when the colors will come in, since Cheyenne is going to the con, at least on Thursday, but I'll...

I just wrote a huge post, and when I tried to edit something, it all went sideways and no amount of "undo" or backtracking would bring it back.
Argh.
Well, the con begins tomorrow, and I have a lot to take care of, so here's Friday's p...

I'm sorry this is a bit later than I like, but I had to wrestle with the words a bit. Here's a bit of fun, Lucrezia's fancy hat went missing on this page, and Cheyenne drew it in on all the panels. He did a wonderful job of it, too!

Happy Thanksgiving, all you USA folks out there, and happy weekend to everyone else!
We probably won't get the colors up tonight, because Cheyenne needs to catch his turkey just like the rest of us. I'll post them later when they come in. 2021-11-25 22:38:39 +0000 UTC View Post
