ok guys! I've had this page mostly-done since like, last thursday. I just never got around to assembling and posting it. But here it is! urggh I forgot how hard it is to do these kinds of pages. I had to like, take pictures of the panels with and without the clay (because they were casting shadows into other panels..)
ANYWAY.
Time to announce the winners of the fanart contest!!
#1: Darkwaterfrey
#2: Phillby
#3: Buroo

Everyone who entered, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I think I'll put all the pictures in the hard copy, too!! :D because I love you. Yes, you. Yes, to the gentleman in the blue sweater, I love you.

Anyway. wtf is up with me. I am kinda less-than-loving life, for no discernable reason. So let's get cheered up! woo. *has no verve*
alas.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Next page is the last page, I think.

I made some progress on planning Life is But a Dream, my upcoming comic- here's a sketch I did for one of the main characters, Rosaura! (hah all my female leads have my hairstyle.. haaah… although, it makes the most sense for her to have that hair!!) Also, I planned out the first few pages!!

ALSO, I was gonna do some terrible short story for this DD community project, but INSTEAD I had a brilliant idea today!! It will be 'Mauvais and the Beast'. Tentative title. I have to find a good, evil-sounding french name. It's gonna be a cute Beauty and the Beast adaptation, where the evil sister gets sent to the Beast's castle instead of Belle! :D? I thought it was clever…
