Refracted Neurons

Guess what I have for you? No, not cookies, sorry.  Come over and I'll bake you a pie.  But in the meantime, here is the ebook version of Egregious: Download Egregious imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> To download, open in iBooks.  It will copy it to your shelf and you can read it.  If you don't have iBooks, and you really want an eBook copy that works with your device . . . I'm only gonna say this once, so lean in. I'm a pretty friendly person, so just ask.  For anyone who hasn't been following my serial fiction, Egregious, here is a brief summary of the story: In the city of Citadel, a curse is no laughing matter.  A simple angry word or mocking phrase from a friend or foe, and the changes begin. Meet Tate Harper.  He hasn't been fully human for ten years.  Cursed by a childhood friend, he is forced to live as a wolf man in Egregia, the wooded area surrounding ...

I still haven't got around to drawing the picture that I wanted to draw, but I did do a little five minute sharpie doodle and a painstaking sketch that I'm wholly unhappy with.  As soon as I was done, I had only one thought on my mind: PAINTSCHAINER!!!

Apparently this new filter, which is so wonderful on soft pencil lines, has a weird fault.  If there's nothing in the bottom right hand corner, it puts a weird glowing rainbow ball there. And here is the new sketch, heavily inspired by the art of Kazuya Minekura (okay, so it's a sweaty Koumyou).  Even though I drew this on paper with pencil, I decided to try in...

It's 2018, and my New Year's resolution is to get rid of some of the unpublished drafts hanging out on my blog.
