I can't describe how beautiful tonight's murder of crows against a red sky was.

I'm kindof emotional about it.

Books should work this way. #comics
Unbound 206 - Panel #1: Tab stands in the middle of a bunch of book shelves. He is thinking. "Hmm..." Panel #2: Tab, "Leaf, you had a section on plants and animals. Where did that go?" Leaf, "Oh, you just missed it, Tab..." Panel #3: Tab and Leaf both outside the library. They look onward toward the sunset sky. Leaf, "It flew south for the winter." Books are seen flying like birds in the sky.

Thank you all for continuing to share Tess's shop. I've got to raise some funds before the end of the month to keep us housed so every share is extra helpful. If I can hold on here a couple more months I can move us somewhere way more affordable. Thank you for standing by us!

GIANT IRMA: When I was little my mother would always mix my medicine in a big bowl of strawberry ice cream

LEO: Okay

GIANT IRMA: Oh, and also if you can hook me up with a giant yellow cassette tape that'd also be a big help

LEO: (Sigh) fine

Listen up... "toads"?

#TMNT
Print ad for a series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics by Archie which were sold with an audio retelling of the same story on cassette. Leonardo is seen holding up an enormous yellow cassette while standing on the TMNT logo. Above him, in the classic Turtles typeface, is the headline "LISTEN UP, TOADS," and a sub-headline which reads "The Ninja Turtles are telling their own stories now".

Made the decision to pull Corbie from GlobalComix. I've been vocal about my disdain for generative AI for some time now and the platform is heading in a direction that I don't want to be associated with.

The making of CMC issue 2's wraparound cover! For this one, I ended up drawing the final art directly on top of the mock-up. Carlton was added late in the day as the empty space was bugging the heck out of me :p

#comics #comicbooks #webcomics
The initial mock-up for the cover art of "Corinne Morgan, Corbie" remastered #2. Corbie sits within a large ring on the front, with the supporting cast (The I.C., Morrigan, Sadie, and the cloaked Neamhain & Macha) appear in smaller rings on the back. A banner running across the top reads "Hollywood's fledgling superheroine... in the ring for the first time!" Final version of Corbie issue 2's cover. The revised art is now in full colour. A surprised Carlton, Corinne's dad, has been added to the supporting cast on the back cover, and declares "I'm not even IN this issue!"

It's hard to believe it's already been two years since the remastered Corbie issue 1 was released! Here's my initial mock-up for the variant A cover versus the final version (in this case from the print edition with the poppin' extra-vivid colours)

Initial mock-up for the variant A cover of "Corinne Morgan, Corbie" issue #1. A windswept Corinne stands in front of Stonydawn, the Morgan family home, with the visage of Morrigan present in the sky behind her.

The proto Corbie armour ("Core-A") combines a bunch of design elements I just think are neat: red / white / blue colour schemes, long white boots, and vertical red / blue racing stripes (specific influences were Herbie and the late 60s / early 70s international Pepsi can)
An image of the famous car and Disney live-action movie character Herbie, a white Volkswagen Beetle with red and blue off-centre stripes and the the number 53 emblazoned on its hood. A vintage Japanese Pepsi-Cola commercial from the late sixties or early seventies, showing a woman in sunglasses holding a slim Pepsi can. The design - which I believe was never used in the USA, only in international markets - is predominantly white with the logo hovering in the upper third, above a pair of red and royal blue vertical stripes.

Don't think I've ever posted the colour version of this before - Corbie in the prototype version of her armour, from the pages of CMC issue 2! Corinne would soon replace this with the familiar blue-black suit as it had an unfortunate tendency to overheat in a pretty serious way 🔥🔥🔥 👀

#art #comics
Art from the "Feathered Fact File" pages of the comic book "Corinne Morgan, Corbie" issue 2. Corinne wears the prototype version of the armour she wears in her alter-ego as the winged superhero Corbie, with simpler white elements instead of the detailed blue-black look of the final version, and a rounded helmet with antennae instead of spikes. The helmet and chest armour both sport red and blue stripes running down the middle.
