Comic Update

Pencil sketch of a tall man with large ears and long hair seated behind a desk. He is dressed in a kimono, his arm and shoulder out on the right side, and sarashi bandages around his midsection. He holds a stack of papers in one hand and an ink brush with the other, holding the brush up to his face pensively. A stack of books sits at his elbow. An oil lamp in the shape of sort of a squat goblet sits in the foreground.

I still have to get my drawing tablet set up, so enjoy this pencil drawing. His name is Tomoya Daichi and he is pretty important and importantly pretty.

Also, we have a new title: Last Watch Before Dawn. It better reflects the secret demon-hunting organization at the story’s heart, and avoids some heavy, real-world cultural connotations that will distract (or at least will distract me) from the fictional setting.

I’ll be working on getting the tablet set up this week, which means that actual comic pages are not far off. Stay tuned!

Song of the Week

Upiko, “CROW”

It’s Monday again. Hi.

This week, I’m finishing my rewrites of Journey to the Water. I am planning to report back once I’ve done that with a release date. While I work on formatting and final edits, I can show you the cover and offer some tantalizing previews. Again, I truly appreciate your patience as I work to get this book into your hands.

If you’re waiting on a Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot deck, good news! As of the last Kickstarter missive (Saturday), the decks are now #22 in the printing queue! (I think they started in the mid-400s.) If you’re not waiting for one now, this also means that they’ll be available for sale soon. I’ll update you as soon as I know more.

Petitions I’ve gathered this week:

Via LeftClick: Support the Trans Bill of Rights

Via MPower Action: Tell Congress to Oppose H.R. 9495 (again)

Via USCPR: Block $20 billion in weapons to Israel

Take care of yourselves this week, and check back again soon!
