Most interesting to me, anyway, is the special edition. It comes with an excuse for me to sit around drawing my characters forever and ever! (er, it comes with a sketch of your choice.)
If you already got a copy of the book from me at Fanime or A-kon but you're interested in a special edition or postcards, please note me, we can talk about it. It's totally doable with some finagling.
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS:
I'm wanting to offer them, but I'm not actually sure how, so I haven't listed them for sale yet. If you're wanting a digital download, tell me how you typically receive such things. I was thinking to upload the digital copy to stash for your downloading and viewing pleasure, but maybe there are better options out there?
DIGITAL DOWNLOADS IN EXCHANGE FOR FANART:
Fanart totally gets to be currency today! As soon as I figure out how best to digitally distribute this sketchbook, anyone who has drawn fanart or written fanfiction is eligible for free digital viewing of the sketchbook and all its extra shinies. X3 That's past fanstuffs or future fanstuffs. 8D Anything, all of it, I LOVE IT ALL. +_________+ My eyes gleam in the dark for it.
I could draw some interesting comics about getting this book to exist .... uuuuh maybe later in more journals to come. XD I'm sure I'll be pimping this book for the next month. But I just want to say here that whoever did city planning for Seattle in its early stages was retarded. Driving around the warehouses to find this box of books was the most ridiculous drive ever. o_____o;;;;; I was on this road, and it was just going strait. The gps showed it going strait. And it was going strait. There was no where for it to go other than strait, with a highway on one side and the harbor on the other. So logically, this road should continue going strait.
AND THEN IT SWOOPED OFF ON THIS CRAZY RAMP GOING OVER THE WATER WHAT THE HELL WHERE IS THIS ROAD GOING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
At this point I had only 10 min left before the warehouse was closing for the day. NOT A TIME FOR CHICKEN DRIVING. I stopped in the middle of the road, veered around the ramp, dove onto this tiny little alley that was under the ramp or something, and kept going strait across what looked like a 7 way intersection with no stop light. O_o Firstly, 7 way intersection? Secondly, no stop light? For 7 roads all merging?
This was during rush hour traffic right before memorial day weekend, btw.
And this road shenanigan was after I stupidly drove in front of a baseball stadium that was having a home game. (traffic jam with traffic cops) But in all fairness, the drive in front of the baseball stadium was to avoid driving down THE CRAZY JAM PACKED DEAD STOPPED MASSIVE HIGHWAY that the gps seemed to think was clear with no delays.
GPS YOU LIE BOX. YOU CAN RECALCULATE WHILE I THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW.
I arrived at the warehouse 5 minutes before closing.
There was a point where I ran a red light in there. CLEARLY RUNNING THAT RED WAS MERITED. There was that five minutes.
And then I packed even more books into my luggage and flew away to Fanime. XD
Fanime and A-kon were both super awesome, btw! Except for all the crazy things that went wrong. O_o Like arriving at Fanime and discovering that I would have to drag all 200lb of my luggage through a registration line that was four hours long .... thankfully two fellows helped me. >< Or I would have died.
And apparently now the possibility of death due to AA has been verified as a true concern? Because *Cinnamoron had to go to the hospital at A-kon. 8( Not really sure what caused it. Stress, I would imagine, being that it was a racing heart beat that wouldn't slow down. Of course, there will be no scientific proof of my stress diagnosis. So I went to the hospital with *Cinnamoron while *RadiusZero cleared all the things off our tables. You remember that Artist Alley 101 panel I was giving at A-kon? I missed most of it during this drama. XDDDD Maybe next year I'll try again to give my presentation.
So, aaaaaaaaaaaaaah///// sorry for this word pile. It was an extreme week. I'll try to be around more to answer comments now. ><
In the coming days, I have an art pile to upload. @_____@ Associated with the sketchbook. So apologies to anyone not buying it and not interested, it's going to inundate you. And for everyone who IS interested in a copy, please, I'd love to reply to any questions you have. X3 I'm so excited for this sketchbook!!!!!
I don't think I say it enough, but only because I can't figure out how to say it interestingly ... but thank you to everyone who has stuck with TG throughout all the difficulties I've had producing it. Producing this work makes my life so much more .... interesting.... ^^ and none of it would be possible without the support my work receives financially. And in fanart and comment currency which doesn't feed me but amuses me to no end. XDDDDD
thank you~~~~
F A Q
WHAT IS TOILET GENIE?
TG is a weekly webcomic that I draw, write, and publish. c: It is dark fantasy, currently rated 13+. The story follows a pug which discovers a genie living in a toilet. Through a series of odd events, the pug is turned into a woman. Before she can forfill her destiny (whatever that may be...) she must learn the story of how the genie came to live in the toilet.
WHEN DOES TG UPDATE?!
TG updates ~ Thursdays. But if the page is done early, it updates early. If the page would benefit from more time, it updates late.
COMMISSIONS/TRADES/FREE ART
I'm always interested in commissions, but I may turn them down if I'm cramped for time. Trades are a possibility, but unlikely. If you have to *ask* me for free art, chances are I will not give it to you.
I will still maintain that Perth drivers are shittiest drivers. A 7 lane anything would cause death here.
I adore your characters. I am so curious as to the direction in which the story is headed. I have my sneaking suspicions. POOR SKITTLEZ WAHHHHH!!!!
PS. Vidu is hot...just sayin.
I realized that if I don't bunker down on my comic that it will never see the light of day outside my local area so now I'm collaborating with a publisher. We are aiming to put out a variant cover for Issue Zero which is exciting. I hope to get into Fanime next year but I'm not going to kill myself over cons anymore and focus on my comic. Someday I may have the liquid assets to hit cons big time *wishes*. If you are interested, I'll send ya copy. Just note me if you want.
Good luck at A-Kon, looking forward to more issues of TG!!!!
Warm Hugs,
TheSpyderDuster
I'm glad the cons have been good except for the...uh...incipient death...? o_o Will you have sketchbooks at future cons, or is it a now-or-never order up thing?
I should have the sketchbook at future cons. But I won't be at San Japan this year. >< Too much trouble for me to get to San Antonio, I've decided to try and do SJ every other year, so maybe 2013? I was contemplating doing Oni Con because its on Halloween and it would be fun to go somewhere for Halloween. XD But I'm still undecided and I don't know how sign ups work for that con anyway.
I'm sorry I won't get to see you at SJ, but I totally understand the trip issue. Hopefully next year!I've heard Oni-Con is pretty hard to get into, because of organizational issues, so I guess you're not the only one who doesn't understand their signups.X) Good luck though!
Please feel free to dump the sketchbook stuff upon us adoring fans.
If I'm lucky and my job interview tomorrow leads into a job I will most definitely be buying the sketchbook; and eventually the comics, and posters, and everything else. (and if it doesn't...well I do have a friend who owes me some $$$ for a painting....)
The story behind picking up the Sketchbooks sounds like it was a pain. O_O But at least its over with for the moment!
...Utah's a little better than Seattle in regards to crazy roads, but only a little. (we have this crazy free way thing where we have a million different bridges in one place and you have to get on just the right bridge to go where you need to go; otherwise you might end up lost if you don't know the area.) ...Then again the normal roads are a bit crazy too; if only because its so easy to get lost when you're trying to avoid traffic. o_o
And I'm not even going to get started on the drivers. o_o Utah drivers are scary; especially the ones in pickup trucks.
Yeah that'd be amazin~ Ahhh so excited for them now! 8D
