One of my characters has been frustrating me lately. His motives have gone all ambiguous, and I think he's also suddenly changed roles so drastically in the story so as to become a bad guy. Felix wasn't going to be a bad guy, but  I think he is now.

That is nothing to say with how frustrating it is to draw him consistently. I only manage consistancy with the main character, serpent, because I draw her ALL  THE TIME. Felix is harder to get right, since I'm not sure exactly how  to get the expressions I need on him. Everytime I come out with something I like, it dosen't look like Felix at all.

The first version I ever did of felix over a year ago was pretty close to how I wanted him to be:

Progress : 14 Pages

Comics are going up, and I have the world's tinyiest fanbase composed of people I live with, and the few people who trickle in from the comic being on SmackJeeves, since recently updated comics get posted on the front page an' all.  Quite frankly I'm thrilled. Also, terrified that my buffer is running out  - so I keep scratching at comics in the back of my head, and when I really should be writing up lab reports. That, and re edititing pages that I thought were set in stone months ago. Oi.

On an unrelated note, I can finally sleep well again knowing that I don't have to fear that Sarah "End Times" Palin had any probability of becoming president due to her runningmate's advanced age.  I'm sorry, but I would much rather  4 more years of BUSH than to put a mad dog, anti-abortion, young earth creationist who belives that the raputure is coming who ALSO can't name a single newspaper she reads, failed to graduate from at least 3 colleges, and mocks the premise of basic scientific reasearch into the hotseat with the nuclear codes.  *breath*. At least Obama seems sane, and not likely to keel over anytime soon, and also not likely to turn america in the theocracy it's trying to be.


... right.

So first post in about a million years, but hey - THE COMIC IS UP.  It has a shiny website and a new title.

Yes, the comic is up.  It is up here: excecation.smackjeeves.com/.
