hey vote for me on TWC to see a cray-zay photo of me dressed in doll garb like a weeeeird-o! hehe! Hey is it just me or is it strangely hard to vote on TWC? you have to like, figure out which direction the avatar-thingy is pointing.. which means you have to actually look at it… heh.



hehe! new updates! I did this page AND my new misfas in one sitting! (one… looong… sitting. About 5 hours.) but still!! ;)
I love how this page came out. there are some bits of it that I expressly *dis*like, such as the "creeaakk…" and panel 1, but I like how the big panel came out! Partially because I took great liberties with how things look. ZOMBIE SAINT KAZIMIERAS!!! OMG! this was a weird idea, to have him emerge from his coffin, and it initially started out as a joke to myself. I wrote "Comes out of coffin. ghoulish zombie." or something on the margin of my script. but then I thought twice, and realized it was much cooler than any other sort of entrance.
This page!! hah! man, it was way fun to color. I think when I estimate how long these things take, I estimate down because I don't realize how much time is passing cause I'm having such fun.
Kazimieras' face in the last panel is all yellow-magenta-cyan. it looks like a printer cartridge leaked all over it… ; ) ; )

ok see you guyz soon!
