I know I am crazy to draw all this when 80% of it will be concealed by overlaid panels, but hey, I am nothing if not OCD. In other news, I might actually be ready to start posting at the end of January. Shocking. At least, I am shocked. :P

This page definitely qualifies as Shit I Never Thought I'd Be Drawing. Seriously, this is why drawing a comic is so great! There is no end of stuff I've spent my entire life being completely uninterested in drawing (like cars and SNOWBOARDING, lol), and now I have to learn how to do it. Sure, I may suck. But I'm gonna learn. :)

Another preview shot of the Next Project (which I am still struggling to name... urgh). I'm not particularly happy with the colors still, but then I never was with Maze either, so meh, I am still of the opinion that more pages > perfect pages.
Preview Page 1
Here's a peek at page 1. I haven't finished all the coloring/refining yet, but it's mostly done.
Preview Cityscape
Posting this before I lose the nerve. It's a background spread from my Next Project. There will be other stuff over it, but I am a crazy person and always draw the whole bg first. This is supposed to be about halfway between Blade Runner and WWII-era Britain.
Pike (Middleman fanart)
Yes, this is Wendy Watson and The Middleman. This particular scene is loosely derived from my favorite episode, the Flying Fish Zombification.
I made it for GeekGirlCon 2011 ( geekgirlcon.com/ ) this weekend, and barring crippling shyness I will get it signed by @okbjgm. And you can buy one if you come to GGC, for your own signing adventures. At my table. Which I will post a map of later. ^^
CSTS Seattle 2011 Entry
*UPDATE!*
The Seattle Browncoats decided to print my design up as tshirts anyway! YAY! \dance/ You can buy it through the CSTS event site for $20:
CSTS Seattle 2011 tickets/tshirts: www.cstsseattle.org/tickets.html
If the shirts are at all like last year's, they are very thick cotton and the women's sizes tend to run big. Proceeds go to a good cause (or in this case, many good causes). And Seattle locals, I hope to see you at the screening too!

This is meant to be a physical representation of the metaphorical Veil of Forgetfulness (wikipedia). Using the word "Heaven" here is incorrect, as proper heaven is not entered until after Judgement Day. In the meantime, souls go to the Spirit World, which has a Paradise and a Prison. The Spirit World is just here on Earth, though, hence the need for the aforementioned veil to keep us from seeing all those ghosts all the time. Also, the word "angels" (since Mormons don't have the winged, genderless angels of Catholic lore) is Holly's grandmother differentiating between the newly dead souls and the older righteous souls present in a more official/on-the-job capacity.
Anyway, I was just trying to create a uniquely Mormon afterlife. I could have gone with the gates and St Peter and all that, and it would have been fine (apart from the Judgement Day delay and all), but I am nothing if not obsessive about the little details...
