Some of you may have already seen this sketch uploaded to Paheal. The reason why I hadn't posted it yet on my blog is that I hadn't figured out how to categorize it. However, I am posting it under 'lite art' until further notice since it does have similiarities with my usual inkings, the major difference being that it's fully digital.
I recently got myself a graphics tablet: Wacom Intuos 5 Touch L. So far, I'm liking it, although I can now see why so many of my friends warned me about it being a bit too large and how I should probably go with a medium-sized model instead. Oh well, it's too late now but I think I can manage. I hope to be able to do more efficient sketching/planning with it and also semi-retire Photoshop's pen tool which I've used to ink the majority of my pictures until this point. I am still going to use it with certain pictures (such as anything DP-related, fully finished art) but I hope to be able to go ahead and ink characters like Peg from Goof Troop much more naturally from this day forward.
The doodle you're looking at is actually part of a brainstorming session I had with Toonspew (My Life as a Teenaged Von Neumann Device) earlier this week. We've been working on-and-off with a potential comic project for about a year or so and this is a one-panel gag he came up as a way of giving Maddie a brief cameo appearance (the comic's not about her). The gag itself is obviously a reference to the way the Fentons would be showcasing their latest inventions in ghost hunting to Danny and Jazz. Also, this is the first tablet-made image I've posted on my blog!
In other news, it's less than a month for my fifth anniversary as a cartoon porn fan artist and I am furious because I've been having some serious computer problems recently. They eventually got so bad I had to take my PC to a shop to be repaired (I'm writing this from my laptop; I can doodle with my tablet on it but it lacks the power and tools for doing my regular stuff). This also means that I won't be able to go ahead with my original plans to have an art archive published at the date of the celebration, or that piece of art I had been planning to release in honor of it (hint: it's something Maddie-related I've been asked to do for a long time).
Both of these things will still happen, but there might be a two or three-week delay, maybe an entire month. It really depends on how soon I'll be able to get back to work. I'm positive that it won't take longer than that, though.
