Prestidigitation

So I completely forgot about the event this year, until someone mentioned it on the day before. That wasn’t enough time to prepare for another stand-alone comic, but I did see it as a great excuse to spend the day drawing other things.

I decided to go for 24 new sketches (or, in two cases, significant progress on an existing picture). It started a bit slow, and there was the obligatory hour or so of utter despair and self-loathing, but after that it was good times all day. ♥

Started at 8:00 AM on October 3rd, finished at 7:00 AM on October 4th! The results are:

That’s 12 pages of True Magic (not necessarily the next 12), 6 semi-secret project portraits, and 6 commissions/contest entries/various things people were expecting me to do. They’re all extremely rough and/or in need of revision (or possibly deletion — Self-Loathing Hour didn’t produce great results)… but they’re things that totally didn’t exist yesterday! I am going to have so much fun refining these over the next few days/weeks.

(Apologies for the smallness/blurriness. Must avoid spoilers, you know.)

Just a quick mini-project. I found characters who appeared on the same page in both versions of the comic, and pasted them up next to each other.

Why? For science!

Ah, good old you-know-what. I really can’t wait to get back to that part. ♥

I’m also happy to see that my admittedly rushed and flawed comic art of today is still noticeably better than what I was drawing five years ago. XD

Hooray, progress!

When artist’s block strikes, the forum comes to the rescue!

I wonder what sort of book the High Priest would be reading.
