Sketches: Tripp's Tat

This is the second thing I drew in my awesome BazBiz sketch book, partially because we were sitting across from an awesome booth selling Muerto stuff, and partially cause I opened up my bag and discovered I'd accidentally brought along a whole crap ton of colored pencils, so that was exciting.

Fun facts about this piece:

• This is Tripp's first tattoo. It's a shoulder cap - holy crap blanking out on important character details! It's on his dominant hand's arm, but I suddenly can't remember if Tripp is right or left handed! D'oh!
• Zig designed and inked this tat for his bro, and yes, it is designed after Aladdin Sane.
• I totally have plans to get this tattoo myself! It will also be my first tat, and I am BEYOND excited to get it!

The Outtakes: Zig and Chris

We had a string of pretty awful scenes we needed to turn out for Asylum, and most of the unpleasantness was in Caitlin's court. I attempted to write her some light-hearted candy type scenes, but Zig's been in a funk lately, so when I said, "Show us something from your past- how about you and Chris at the bar!", he gave me this.

The Writings: A bit of Zig

Sometimes, inspiration will strike at the strangest moments.

Cooking dinner earlier, I suddenly heard Zig start talking, and this little snippet was born. It's not as clear in the beginning, because I rushing to capture the dialogue, but as I was able to keep up with it, the writing blossomed, then just as quickly faded. Maybe this will be part of a story I write for him one day, maybe this is all he cares to tell me of it. Who knows? Sometimes, it's just enough for you the author to know, so that when a character references something, you're not completely lost. Sometimes, its fun to collect all these little nothings and share them with your audience (at least I hope you're all having fun :P)

The Writings: The Feast of St. Zig

So, speaking of meat posts, I haven't posted any actual writing in a while. Now that I've finished my NaNo, I'm a little at a loss for what to post that isn't what I'm working on currently. Asylum just isn't ready to come out yet, and I don't want to rush it.

On the plus side, Cait and I have this lovely little writing process called "Outtakes" where we write something in universe but unrelated to any of the current story lines. Sometimes its cannon, sometimes it's mostly cannon, and sometimes it's completely off the wall. This one is a brief look into Zig's everyday life, for curiosities sake.
