9___9 For the sketchblog unaware... SURPRISE! It's webcomic time.

Ever since I bagged on ASPS two years ago, I've been aching to try again. ^___^ But not with ASPS ... I've flickered between 4 or 5 different ideas, started them, failed them ... but Toilet Genie is different. So far I've enjoyed the whole process of drawing it rather than puttering out during thumbnails or scripting. What's more, I really feel these characters. I have something [I'm not entire sure what] on my heart that I've been trying to put on paper ... these characters are that thing, whatever it is.

Art related question... sorta. For your sound effects, do you do something specific to get the black behind the white? Or do you basically write sound effects twice? They just look too neat to be the latter and I wondered :D
and though I know you typically used traditional mediums for your drawing, personally I think it would be really freaking sweet if you were able to record the coloring process for at least one panel. That is at least more feasible then live recording of traditional mediums. I would just love to see how you work :D Its so much fun seeing how different artist work.

I really really would love to find a way to record my work ... if nothing else, I could connect my computer to the internet and do some livestreaming when I'm back to digital.

For the sound effects and speech bubbles, it is a layer mode in photoshop. I wrote them in white, and I set the layer mode to "outer glow" with black color selected.

[link] This tutorial seems to do kind of what I do for speech bubbles with its layer setting, but they use stroke instead of outer or inner glow. Scroll to the bottom, it's the last screenshot of "layer style".

Oh hell. <--this is me realizing just how extensive and amazing your gallery is, and that it is going to take me about three weeks to get through it all. THAT SAID:

The few pages of this that were on display at Otakon left me with the nice feeling that my soul, or whatever resides in my chest area and passes therefore, had been lightly brushed over a cheese grater. I love works that simultaneously squick, stomach-twist, and seduce me like that, because I know there's going to be either disappointingly gross and boring, or brilliantly grotesque and illuminating. I had the suspicion this would be the latter.

Onward I go to experience--the Toilet Genie!

Note: It took me two read-throughs to feel it--I had to understand the heavy fall that had happened--but once I knew what that peculiar angle was suggesting, the feeling of vertigo the second panel caused was absolutely delicious. I'm hoping this series just keeps giving me that stomach-twisting goodness!

before you go looking through the whole gallery, i should warn you to just stop on the first page an not look at the old stuff. ><;;; ugh.

i think your compliment here is the most epic, most bestest compliment this comic has ever received. I know exactly the feeling you're talking about. There are some works of art that I can barely stand to see or hear my reaction to them is so intense. @__@ It doesn't even make sense. Whenever I feel uninspired, I reread [for the millionth time] anything by Carol Berg or Tolkein. I dont even know how to describe the feeling i get from some things. X_X I just am immediately over any sort of art block I had once those things have brushed against me.

anyway, thank you for having possibly a similar feeling to my work. >< I'd like to think that my work could have a like feeling for some people because I react so passionately to this thing I'm drawing. In a really indirect way, I'm practically drawing my life and my feelings. I hope that, yet again in a really indirect way, it can be like my feelings being related to someone else's feelings, but with words I just can't say. ;__;

aaaah ~ just two more pages until ch1 is done. >< <3 and then, chapter 2 ..... i've been waiting my whole life to be able to draw chapter 2. O_O

sorry for this giant type spew. you write with a lot of emotion and intelligence, so it makes me want to do the same. XD [possibly not so well, however.]
