Yeah, inventor-type is right. I was going to make her Airek's accident-prone lab assistant.

But several readers right now are saying this art is terrible--if it's not just because of the busty mermaids, I'll have to apologize to you guys for posting it here. In any case, I may really have to consider spinning the mermaids off into a different series.

Jeez, your art's not terrible.  Maybe it's not mainstream enough for some people, but that doesn't mean it's bad... no need to apologize for posting that stuff here.

I agree with Adama. The people who think your art is terrible obviously don't deserve to criticize. I've seen much worse in comics where the artist was paid to do it (and, I presume, considered good by somebody).

Your style reminds me of Charles Schultz's "Peanuts" and most people seem to like his art. Of course, you have a little ways to go to compare favorably to Frank Cho. But, like Cho, you get bonus points for having busty girls (or whatever they are).

Thanks, guys! I'm OK with "quirky".

We've got to stop meeting like this.  

I fell offline again, for a while, because I had to go back to work at a bank job. Short version, it didn't work out, so I'm back to cartooning.

This time, I want to spend some time taking care of unfinished comics, before moving on to new stuff. I'm currently updating the first story with the mermaids Prymno, Thoe, and Psekas.

Seems like I've been struggling with the art, though. Trying to make it look the way I want, and making it look consistent. I'm trying to do the shading straight into Photoshop now, but I don't want it to *look* like it's done in Photoshop. I've started making my own "brushes", and I think that's helping a little. Attached are some details from the last comic.

Welcome back! Too bad about the bank job. Remember, next time, to wear a mask when you take home a sample from the vault.
