Raising A'arih Zoh'Nagh


     Whoops, I left the kettle on the oven.  By that I mean I was doing things, and didn't put any of it on here for about 2 months.  Continuing with that analogy, now everything is a burnt, shitty husk on my stovetop.  The smoke alarm is going off, the neighbors are wondering about the smell, and the cat is freaking out at all the commotion.  If you're wondering what I was working on that could possibly take TWO WHOLE MONTHS, well, brace for the tepid.
     Pretty dumb and straightforward first.  I get hung up on ideas and have to run them into the ground before I can move on, and here's the friendly fat finale of my fish people obsession.  I tried to paint him and make it look better but the first round of colour choices was pretty abysmal, so he got benched in favour of something that's less of a botch.


      This didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to, but what ever does?  This is a re-imagining of Morphus from the Shitty Wizards strips I've been doing.  Now he's a sentient slime that hi-jacked a skeleton he found and uses as a structure.  This finally makes him what he should be, since his full name was always Aaron "Morphus" Blobman (heh get it amorphous blob man heh).  The facial features didn't come out very well in the painting, but I'm starting to get a handle on what's going wrong.

     You might have to blow this one up to be able to read it.  This was an awful lot of work for a really, really stupid joke, and I realize that.  I guess the joke itself took a backseat to working on everything else.  Still a lot of problems to work on, but you can probably imagine that I'm tooting my own horn silently over here.

     I'll try not to let the next one take so long.
