Moving Adventures I: Boxes

From back when I was moving from Canterbury to Reading.
New format for me - all done in one strip! A bit easier to manage.

I still don't know how I made that stack so tall.... I couldn't reach the top.

Thanks for reading! ^^

Official Hiatus

Alright folks, it's been so long now that it has to become official! This is me every Tuesday when I've got nothing!

Searing Wings will be on hiatus until I get my inspiration back. I'm sorry, I had all these grand promises of one a week and didn't even manage a single week of that! Thank you for following and I shall let the world know via facebook if I either do a one-off post or restart again properly.

Thanks for following everyone!

If you're interested in following my general art then feel free to look here: http://www.katie-jane8.deviantart.com/ as while my desire to draw comics has waned, I still draw 'proper' pictures.

Faithy Day!

So this Sunday I spent with Faithy, and seeing as I've not updated in a long time (And I wanted to get around the mature content filter on deviant art), I figured I'd upload it here. I'll update the post when I've finished the coloured version. For now, it's just the lineart =D

But I had a GREAT day! Boot sales, met Faithy's grandparents who are SO LOVELY and AWESOME, and then saw my lovely de Bec people briefly, and then went for a stroll and sit on the beach! Such a good day, it inspired me through my art block to do this picture!

Greetings and Appologies!

Hello!

So yeah, you guys all know me well enough that you probably expected this to go down to one post a week at some point, right? :P

Sorry about that! But hopefully that means that you'll get longer posts when it does happen.

Excuse-making time! My creative impulses are mutinous things, and when I should be using them on one thing, I'm distracted by wanting to do other things. It's my hope that by slowing it down to one update a week you'll get better updates and I'll get more time to do other creative things (normal drawings, sewing, etc.).

So yeah... Sorry about that again :P
Thanks for your patience though!

Random Drawing Spam!

Haha literally as it says - I finished a drawing that's been loitering around my computer for many months now, and I decided to finish it. I like the result (mostly), and wanted to share it! xD

It's actually bigger than this, and you can see the full version by clicking on it, but the feel of it comes across and I hate having to scroll along a page to see a picture fully... xD

It's worth pointing out that the picture of the wall is one I took myself, so "No, you eagle-eyed copyright people, I'm not stealing someone else's stuff!".

And also, here's the video of the event file, if anyone's interested in seeing me draw it out.

(It's already got the sketch I did on paper, which is what I draw the lines from, so not technically from start to finish, but close enough!)

Also, I'm really sorry but the quality is terrible despite that the original is fine. Youtube mangled it even for 480p :/

Alternatively if you'd rather watch the original (which is better quality), then go here:

Night of Shivers

So I was going to upload a bit more of my weekend with Faithy today, but on Sunday night it was such a moment of failure that I had to upload that story instead!

So on Sunday night I was playing my computer game when I remembered I actually had stuff I was supposed to be doing (such as tidying up).

(Bonus points to you if you can guess the game from my mumbling there… :P)

While drawing this picture I also realised that I’ve been drawing my hair wrong all this time – I’ve been drawing it as it would look in a mirror, not as other people see me. So I’ve changed it. Whether I’ll remember for future comics or not is another matter entirely…

So I got up, and I closed the curtain on the spider-invested fire-escape. And there was one right next to the window, I swear it waved at me with one leg!

So then I moved on to tidying up, and was picking up things for washing the next day…

And of course, the result was a manic rush for the hoover.

At moments like this, I really appreciate that Nick is much more a master of his fears than I am! He does these things like a boss, while I shiver in a corner xD

And then (after the inevitable hugging and consoling), we went upstairs to get ready for bed. And as we were brushing our teeth…

They sounded like they were RIGHT outside… But let’s face it; cats are much less scary than spiders even if they are fighting. It’s still eerie though, especially when you can’t see them and they sound so close. So… Yeah. A night of shivering in a corner for me! I’m surprised that sleep came so easily in the end! But then, Nick is very good at making me feel better.

And with that lovey-dovey thought in mind, I bid you adieu!

Faithy Tales I

Hello everyone!

So today my update is about my weekend with Faithy, which includes two nights and two days!

Our first night is (mostly) covered in this post.

Firstly: To introduce the lovely Faithy, who was kind enough to house me, feed me, drive me and indeed to book the tickets for Go Ape too!

And my reaction to her Grandparent's beautiful home!

And the thing we seemed to spend most of our time doing - making and drinking tea!

And while we drank our tea, we would stand at the sink and look out the window into the garden! Very beautiful and tranquil and just plain amazing it was <3

Sorry it's short again, and not a funny one, but the funny will come in lots in the next set, where there's wet ground, Go Ape and many hilarious antics!

Thanks for reading!
