Warm up sketching of Star Titan (looking dashing), Parse (looking chill), and Lardo (looking vaguely lop-sided). (And a small angry Nick Rose.)
This Past Week
This past week was busy! There was a WEBINAR with the fellow Morris Award Finalists' I went to a high school to talk about Check Please, I spent hours chipping away at thumbnails, and I even went to the dentist! GEEZ! JAM PACKED.
The Morris Award Finalists webinar was well attended and super-informative? I'll be in Seattle next weekend where I'll finally meet these fine folks!
The very next day I went to St. Stephen's high school in Austin to participate in the school's biannual literary festival. (A) That school was fancy has all get out, (B) what an extraordinary event?? I wonder how different my life would have been if I had met a professional animator or comic book artist in high school?
OKAY BUT COMICS
:^) All I've been doing is thumb-nailing. :^) Writing. The most challenging part of comic making.
This comic's gonna get a #SometimesTheyDoHockey tag. As Bitty angrily stares at a hockey puck with enormous eyes.
- guess what I totally rewrote a comic chapter. This comic was originally supposed to be a video interview with Bitty, but it felt so...boring. Even for an exposition comic??? I got a few pages completely penciled before deciding to scrap.
Bitty looks so nervous to be interviewed??? Also this page isn't dynamic?? GOOD BYE, ART!
- I also gave feedback on the next Check Please cover. (After having an hour-long meeting with my editor!) I wish....I could just show everyone this cover right now.
CHECK PLEASE: STICKS
No dumb thoughts, but from the most recent livestream:
Nick is a genius.
Well here's one dumb thought:
titan: you know my massage therapist says this is a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP
nick: FOR THE LAST TIME
NICK: MASSAGE THERAPISTS AREN'T THERAPISTS
TITAN: WHY IS IT IN THE NAME THEN NICK

Seattle! Enjoy our fair city. Maybe drop off concept art for a logo/mascot for the expansion team. IG has had a lot of suggestions posted from fans/illustrators. Without a team name even announced, they run the gammut.
Ah that makes sense, I didn’t even think about it like that.

I like the "Sticks and Scones" idea, you know, "Names will never hurt me". It fits the Eric Bittle who started out terrified and closeted in Year Ones and by Year Four is respected, proud and in a position of authority.
Year four: bitty discovers he loves scones more than pie?
Oh look, it's my ot3, Tipardo.
I was wondering if you got a say in what the title was? (Specifically the “Sticks and scones” part?) ((have we even seen bitty bake scones? 👀))
