a random thought on gifts; also a Trollstuck art progress report

Things I want for Christmas this year:

1. a tea cozy

2. a kitchen wastebasket with a lid

3. 25 hours in a day

...

I suspect the only one I will get is #1.

And now back to drawing a six-panel comic of Karkat Vantas vs. a giant floating squiddleterror. (It's a "Trollstuck" thing, don't ask.) Five panels are done in pencil rough. When I finish the sixth, I will tidy them, ink them, and scan the damn thing in to my computer so I can color it in a more consistent fashion than markers or colored pencils allow for. :-)

ETA, 2:30am: All panels done and cleaned. \o/ I will ink and scan and do the computer stuff tomorrow night. Right now I am all out of fine motor control.

Proof of concept:

Karkat vs. the Squiddleterror

(There is meant to be blood on his hand in panel 5, but I want to add that digitally because I cannot get marker colors to scan cleanly.)

Poor Karkat.I would not approve of surprise squid invasions.
