Did a drawing of a lady at in IBM terminal in the 70s thinking about how I'm going to do all the technogarbage in the background of The God Labs and still have characters legible in the foreground. Then I got bored and drew a sharkgirl. I'm a little over halfway writing the last chapter, it may be too long and I'll have to cram some stuff from the beginning into the end of chapter 9.
Converted my thermometre to Kelvin, which I think should be the standard, that way no one is happy!
Just started writing chapter 10 of The God Labs, which will be the final chapter. I thought about opening it with a dream of a line of people jumping into a Hellmouth in the woods rather than The Gate to Heaven. Donno who's dream, but that's where this little non sequitur comes from.
Another Piece of vintage The God Labs Prelim, Long Stephen, who since being introduced has shown up in every chapter. I just started writing Chapter 9, think I'm a little over 500 pages so far.
Remade my desk again. Last year I found a convertible standing/sitting desk on the road and put my old desktop on the legs from that, but I wanted to make one from scratch to fix some things I didn't like about it. Tested ink stains, ended up going with a mix of purple ink, sumi ink, water, and gold paint, which turned out almost exactly how I wanted it. Two problems arose, the topcoat takes forever to fully cure in winter, and modern plywood is shit. Almost $100 for this sheet and the plys were coming apart because it isn't properly glued together.
Couple test panels for The God Labs. Original plan was to do photoshop paintings from ink drawings like I did with The Satan Killers, but it is a lot of cleanup in photoshop and my hand still hurts from finishing that months ago. New plan is to do full size pencil drawings from the ink thumbnails then paint under that in photoshop like I did with Red and the Wolfe. And since I'm changing that up I'll try some colour too.
