fresh meat, page 90 (flats)
so, this is the third to last scene... carmilla's wrap-up, which i feel is the weakest. she's just a very static character! she doesn't want to change. it's like my english teacher's taught me... put your worst argument before the final act. <:)this will also be the scene where t...
FaD strip: kernel of truth
so, for this strip, i was actually planning on this being 1/3 of a sequence, where 2 other scenarios similar to the popcorn incident (doing something stupid -> having it solved logically very readily and effortlessly) took place, followed by a humorous conversation in the third sequence about the pa...

today i'm going to ~HOPEFULLY~ finish sketching the stupid popcorn strip.... HOPEFULLY....https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 5:49 pm CST.
fresh meat, page 89
EDIT: no extra panels i guess, i'm getting hit with a wicked headache today.this page is a little longer than usual to avoid an awkward cut... i will have to jostle the panels a lot to center them once the page is fully colored and flattened.rough one to comment on, because i feel like a lot of ...
FaD strip: unbecoming
this strip is from august 2019, never really got finished though. what was interesting to me about it is that it was written entirely in script format, which i don't usually do for FaD strips, instead relying on the in-the-moment motivation to complete them.most of the incomplete strips i was lo...
2/14 stream (finished)
today i'm just gonna be finishing up the popcorn one i started last week, and maybe lining or finishing another comic, since this week sucks!https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 11:23 am CST.stream ended at 1:58 pm CST.
fresh meat, page 88
i've felt pretty terrible physically and emotionally for the past couple of days, so i'm going to have to pass on the commentary for this page, unfortunately. hopefully the next page will be the last one of this scene? i can't make promises though.

today i'll be working on folie a dupe strips.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 10:37 pm CST.stream ended at 3:31 am CST.
fresh meat, page 87 (finished)
the next part of the scene will struggle to stand on its own as strongly as it would have with the scene about carmilla self-harming removed earlier, because it made the ability to still harm yourself within the facility most obvious.it won't fall apart, though, because there were other indicato...
february 2021
hi everyone, i hope all of you have been relatively healthy and safe.i think it's really funny when arms stick straight up from off-screen, but frequently it's not able to be pushed enough to make it obvious that it's intentional, instead of just an anatomical error. so i decided to just...

today i'm just gonna try some animal crossing fashions, a little bit unusual for fashion streams, but i do miss them.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 6:38 pm CST.stream ended at 8:48 pm CST.
fresh meat, page 86 (finished)
tried to put a little more thought into this page's shot choices -- the first set of panels would be far away from kim to put emotional distance between the viewer and her.the dialogue introducing the evaluation would become larger in text size over three bubbles, and then the camera would zoom ...
1/24 stream (finished)
i'm pretty tired today, had to go do other stressful stuff before starting this stream, so it will probably be a short one. for the last stream of the month, i'm thinking of doing animal crossing type outfits again.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 9:37 pm CST.stream ende...
fresh meat, page 85
this page was so irritating... way too long, but just short enough to not be able to slice in half. i've been shading this for 11 hours straight now, so my commentary is going to be sparse.in this scene, i was planning on carmilla getting a little more... subtly antagonistic or malicious once th...
1/17 stream (finished)
more fashions... i'm going to be trying to focus on some of my larger characters (and also want to draw one carmilla on a vampire costume), but i'm still open to suggestions and such.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 8:10 pm CST.stream ended at 12:43 pm CST.

today will probably only be an hour-long stream because my sleep schedule is a mess and i have an appointment in the morning... i am open to outfit suggestions though.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 7:50 pm CST.stream ended at 11:15 pm CST.
fresh meat, page 84
okay, let's see what i can remember about what i wanted to say about this page, because i happened to lose a few hours of sleep today specifically...i moved a few things around in the rest of the story's structural plan, where lupe's wrap-up arc and development will both take place in th...
1/3 stream (finished)
today i'm going to be doing more observational portraits of people who don't actually exist. i don't know if it's actually helping me understand the human face more, but it can't hurt.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 1:48 pm CST.stream ended at 7:30 pm CST.
january q+a
hey again everyone. i wish i had a ton of stunning ideas for q&a's, but i don't! the theme this month will be something simple, theme songs. you can ask for a song i think fits a character or give me a song and ask which character it would fit. in this case i think it would be okay to repeat...
january 2021
hi everyone. i had to delay this update because i no longer work on shabbat.this comic was also supposed to be several more panels long, with dupe opening up the wall beside the door, and slapping a label over the "2020" that says "2021" instead, then leaving in the opposite directio...
fresh meat, page 83
this page is late because it's a little longer than usual. also, because i'm tired, just, all the time.anyway, here are the flats. shading forthcoming.this scene possibly, besides touching on frankie's perspective of being institutionalized, is introducing the concept of ward quality, or...

today i'm going to try to do maybe some more down-to-earth shape, based studies for things that i struggle with drawing a little more instead of full on painting thumbnails, maybe.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 11:33 am CST.stream ended at 3:20 pm CST.
12/17 stream (finished)
since i didn't do a stream on sunday, i'm making it up today. will probably just do a few more thumbnail type paintings as last week.https://www.twitch.tv/dupereffectivestream started at 12:31 pm CST.stream ended at 5:20 pm CST.
fresh meat, page 82 (flats)
okay, here is the next page. this scene definitely feels a little superfluous, but at least works for more believable pacing. i felt like people would enjoy frankie if they've been reading the comics for years, and the next "scene" is slated to happen within the same time frame, ie. kim ...
december q+a
hi. i forgot about the q&a, but i remembered now. i was having a hard time thinking of a theme for this one.i think i'll decide to go with characters' opinions about other characters for this month.you can ask what i think a character would think of another character that they do or don'...

i'm going to go with what's currently winning the poll for this one: study streams. gonna be painting/studying some portraits of people who do not exist.stream started at 4:12 pm CST.

my swiss cheese brain has once again failed to do this and i just now realized
fresh meat, page 81
before anything else or anyone asks, here is a picture of lupe's drawing with the brightness turned down and the contrast turned up so that it's more visible:in the original script, she was slated to draw nothing at all, because that best represented how she feels. i based the later decision...
