New Short! Once again, this is a little dream-forged mini-story that builds out of several concepts used in other works. I borrowed the Var-Lish from Tara and gave a look at a possible future where they’re concerned. Post-apocalyptic in nature, this work really didn’t convey the feeling that I was trying to achieve (that which was in my dream) but is fun none the less.

This was a secondary sketch for the Batgirl vs Slugs concept that I simply didn’t have time to color.

Once again, Batgirl finds herself in trouble as she hunts the elusive Nattie the Nerd. This time, however, she has not only missed her nemesis, but has fallen right into a most devious trap.

Uploaded chapters 8 and 9. Happy Spring Equinox!

From Freedom For Tara – Chapter 7. The Regileek Pleasure Thief is a devious spider-like alien that has an incapacitating euphoric venom. Once trapped and sedated, the Thief will arouse it’s victim and then feed off of the endorphins created by their body.

Uploaded chapters 6 and 7. They’re pretty raw, so there could be edits. – M

New Short! This little story grew out of an interesting dream.  There was a lot more I wanted to add, but due to time constraints, I had to make it into a mini-story.

More web comic fare.  Definitely adult in nature.  Great art and the humor is completely original.  Updates on Sunday!

This is what would be the inside front cover of the Aleena comic. I am considering a Photoshop comic book balloon tutorial in lieu of all that I learned while creating this piece.

This work is in honor of my friend Aleena, who has helped me greatly in the last month. I was able to try all sorts of new techniques with this piece, which has been by far the most personally enjoyable to date. For those interested, the original Photoshop file was 151 MB on disk, and over 500 MB in memory (BIG sucker), and would not have been possible using my old methods. I have switched to doing nearly all my painting on a single layer, which is separated using pre-created channels for the different parts (flesh, tentacles, clothing, hair, etc…).

More comic goodness from the same author as Ménage à 3 (Gisèle “Giz” Lagacé). Not quite a risque as the former, but still a fun morning read, with Vampires, possessed dolls, and succubi, oh my!

This is an early concept sketch for a chapter in Freedom For Tara, using a coloring method that is a little more old-school and loose. Not sure if the image will actually find it’s way into the story or not. It was fun though.

I’ll be making edits and changes to the site over the next few weeks, including an “auto notification” feature for my discussion group.  Please excuse any seemingly odd or misplaced posts or email notifications as we work out all the bugs.  Hopefully, they should be very minimal.  Thanks… Marjorie.

I woke up this morning to a cool little add-in by Auroris (you’re da man!), a slide show function for the sketchbook. It’s probably not something you want to have rolling full screen at work, but a nifty little gizmo none the less. You can get to it from the Sketchbook, but check it out!

Purely for fun. This is one of the web comics I follow. I have always been in awe of artists who can produce such obviously fantastic quality with prolific regularity. Adult in nature, but nothing hard core or tenti. I always start my day with Dilbert, Penny Arcade, and Ménage à 3 before I even think of hitting CNN or any other news site.  Makes the big bad world a little easier to handle.

Tara finds that her first arena match is a lot more than she expected. From the story.

New Story!

It may not look it on the outside, but Gwyllion has a whole new engine under the hood.  All content is now being run through WordPress, which greatly simplifies posting and editing for me, and adds a few new features for you guys as well, such as search and an RSS feed.  Hurray!
