On my way back from EFNW!

Hey all! Sorry for the radio silence for the last couple weeks, I've been crazy busy prepping for/vending at Everfree -- hoping I can post some new stuff after I get home and settled again. Thanks for your patience!

Tried seeing how I would draw these two if I was working strictly in my own style...not -quite- how they would look in a Hedgehog's comic, per se (that would involve additional workshopping LOL) but definitely happy with the outcome :)

Hedgehog's Dilemma #22

Finally!!!

I'm actually pleasantly surprised with how this turned out despite making it digitally instead of traditionally. I do want to return to traditional stuff now and again, but I think I might try out working digitally for a bit and see how it goes.

*knocks on wood* Hopefully I'll have another comic done soon! (preferably in much less than a month from now)

I found my double-sided pen so I decided to doodle a bit while I sit through work meetings....maybe I'll start adding inks as an option to my traditional commissions??? (once I get better at it, I mean)

trying something different

trying something different

I missed this comic so much, and I'm really itching to pick it back up again, but with work stretching me thin and lots of stuff to wrap up before Everfree, I admittedly don't have a ton of energy to set up my traditional workspace for more than quick sketches.

So with that in mind, I'm gonna try going digital again for a bit! The upside to working so much on commissions and EFNW assignme...

It's been so freaking hot here lately that it's a miracle I've been able to get any work done... I ended up moving the extra AC unit that I normally keep in my living room into my office so hopefully that'll improve my output a bit more...I'm in the home stretch with EFNW obligations and then I can finally focus on comics and commissions again (apologies to the handful of folks who commissioned...

I'll give you one guess to figure out what game I've been playing this week...

Also, for some reason I've been seeing SO much Lammy fan art on Twitter lately??? I imagine maybe it was spurred by that recent video of the person acquiring one of the only Um Jammer Lammy NOW arcade machines left out there...I would love to play it someday, though I imagine that'd be very unlikely... At any r...

Argh, I really thought I would be able to squeeze out one more comic before I leave for my trip, but alas, it seems like I have a bit more on my plate than I thought this week. But!!! I'd hate to leave y'all hanging, so here's a peek at my rough draft for an upcoming comic.

Also, I'll have my sketchbook and computer with me while I'm out of the country, so while I won't be working on actu...

Finally, a new comic!! Sorry for the delay, I've still been tied up a bunch with Everfree work and other projects that I'm not allowed to talk about yet, plus I'm getting ready for my trip to Canada next week...I know this month has been light on updates, thank you to everyone who's sticking with me during this little lull in activity!

EDIT: Sorry for the lack of warning but there is some...
