Page 2 is running later than I’d like… first from procrastination, then from distracting side-projects, and now my carpal tunnel’s acting up.

Parental Candidates
While I’m dragging my feet on the next comic – and waiting for my next contract – I decided I should try and figure out what Violet’s parents might look like –
I only have one story in mind for them, at the moment, and it’s one with a limited window. If I’m going to draw it, then I should get moving and have the first page out in the next week or two…

Daydreaming
Finished off another comission –
Daydreaming of Daisy by JKLind on deviantART
The first couple pages of the next comic are thumbnailed and laid out, so all that’s left is to actually draw them. It’s just a question of whether I’ll want/need to block in more of my diner model first, for the backgrounds.
Another question is whether I can finish the entire chapter before my next contract starts – at least four solid months of work, which might not leave much time for comics. I’ll have to wait and see…
Recent Commissions
Two recent commissions from HatesComputers over on DA –
Daisy and Violet – X-Girls by JKLind on deviantART
Daisy and Bill – Dragon’s Lair by JKLind on deviantART
The original request for the first one was simple – Violet as Jubilee, and Daisy as the movie version of Mystique. That does make sense, since Daisy would likely only know the character from the films, but I thought it’d be fun to turn the tables. Mostly because Daisy would never “dress” as a nude character when hanging out with her underage cousin (if ever), but also in small part because I didn’t want to draw all those scales.
The second was also fun, because I love Dragon’s Lair, and I don’t use my character Bill nearly enough.

One for the naughty list
Merry Christmas, folks! Here’s a cheeky image of Daisy that MaxBlackrabbit slipped under the tree!

It’s all about the challenge. Honest.
Over the past week, I’ve been scribbling some thumbnails for my hypothetical “disrobing Daisy” animation, while also trying to plot out the technical challenges that’d be involved.
Here’s a quick summary of some of those challenges –
- Untying the bow in her apron
- switching sections of cloth from normal deformers to full cloth sim
- hand/cloth collisions & interactions
- cloth/cloth collisions
- cloth/hair collisions
- changing hair styles
…with all that in mind, it’s unlikely that I’ll even attempt something like this. I’d be much better off focusing on other characters, or at least on something that wouldn’t need quite as much explaining.
