This is the first time I’ve ever attempted to record myself penciling. It came out a bit warped since my art desk is on a pretty sharp angle and I was having a hard time positioning my webcam. I’m probably gonna do more of these (especially if I might possibly go on a very short hiatus again) so tell me if you like it or not.

And you can tell I bite my nails. I was being good, you know, then a few intense games of Civ 5 did me in.

This weekend I will be distracted by the game I’ve been waiting for all year while my characters languish in limbo at the end of issue 4.

Rest assured I have been working on issue 5, and I intend to start releasing it before the issue 4 print is done so as not to waste any more time.  But this weekend… at least Friday and Saturday, I am going to lose to Skyrim. My plan is to basically play it a bit Friday and nearly all day on Saturday and just get it out of my system. After that I’ll cut back to an hour or two a day. Which isn’t much considering it’s a 500 hour long game if you do everything in it. But hey, you can see my Steam tag in the sidebar there, you can scold me if I go over.

This little bit of insanity was just going to be a comic originally, but for some reason I was compelled to make it an animation, even though it’s crappy it was still fun, and I did it in a matter of hours (using Photoshop, Premiere Elements.) I was trying to convert it to Flash but it didn’t work out. I didn’t really intend to spend that much time on it because, you know, I should be comicing. Hopefully its just a treat for the fans while they wait for more updates.

Also Terith was supposed to get a line but I decided to not subject you all to me trying to do a Scottish accent. Or even an Irish one. Or whatever it is he has these days.
