Drink and rejoice everyone, for here it is: page 15! :D

So, I made it! A week late, but it's here :) Didn't think it'd take this long. Looks like I've eventually fallen victim to my ambition of improving each time. Last time it took me an extra evening to finish a page. This time I just had to put my pencils away for a couple of days before I could finish it. I was drained, tired, cold and under the weather. I started drawing again on Thursday. At first I used my rubber more than the pencil - but eventually things started to look right. Today I made some final sketches, scanned all I had and processed it on photoshop all day. It's past midnight as I write this - and I'm just done working on the page. And I like it! Hard to say if I can top the previous one - but I like how trippy this one seems, with various shades of green and more red than on the previous pages. Especially the first panel has some psychedelic effect on me. And the bubbles!

And shoes are my new favorite thing to draw.

Btw, please check out Heroes Unite - a community project lead by my friend Nepath:

I mentioned last time that I was offered to color the pages for Spudsy's part in the comic. So I took the job :) The first full page colored by me is up now. Hope you'll like it. Be sure to read the comic from the start, too!

I hope the next page of A Bit Cheesy will be there on time, in two weeks. It's going to be a busy two weeks, too. As always at the end of the year, there's an extra load of red tape to deal with at work. Hope I can get a couple days off between Xmas and New Years. If not…? Oh well, at least I'll be spending some quality time with my family and stuffing myself full with my favorite Xmas foods :D And giving and getting presents! Hehehe :) Actually the giving part is more fun - especially since I got them something I know they don't expect and I know they will love :) As for what I'll get…? No idea!

I got myself "Extraordinary Machine" by Fiona Apple this week, and this is what's helped me return to sanity. I LOVE that cd! It's funny but it makes me think of the old LucasArts adventure games I played back in my teenage days. Think Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacles. I've always liked Fiona. Now I love her! If you want to hear something with unusual, but still catchy melodies, with a bunch of unusual instrument and clever lyrics - you should go buy this album!

OK, time to sleep! Hope you girls and guys enjoyed this page and that it was worth the waiting. A big thank you to everyone for the kind words and the awesome support! And hello to new guests and the timid DD lurkers ;) And there are a few, as I learned from the forums :) Oh and Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year, in case we don't get the chance to talk till then!
