Hedgehog's Dilemma #18

Hedgehog's Dilemma #18

Alrighty, it's official -- my buffer is EMPTY!!!

Thankfully the big project I've been working on for the last few months is finally wrapping up. However, EFNW 2023 is gonna be here before we know it, and as one of the lead artists on the design team I know I'm gonna have a lot of stuff on m...

Hey all! Sorry for the delay on this one — if you're coming here from today's comic post then you've probably heard my spiel already! 

But for those who might've missed it, I'm gonna be slowing down comic updates for a bit while we enter con prep season for Everfree Northwest. I stil...

Ask Charlie!

Okay just for a goof, I wanna try something different to get the ol' brain motor spinning. If you have a question for Charlie, leave it in the comments, and I'll have her answer them!

We'll see, if I like doing this sort of thing, maybe I'll extend it to the public as well, but I figured ma...

Good news: I'm finally approaching the end of that massive project I've been plugging away at, so I'll be able to dedicate more time to the comic again!

Just a heads up though, I've been dedicating most of my time to that so I could get it out the door, and unfortunately that means I've bee...

Whoa, Wednesday snuck right up on me!! I'm tied up with work meetings today and realized I never queued up today's update in advance last night, but luckily I still have the photo on my phone — I usually take a picture of the finished comic and then drop it into Clip Studio to fix the levels so...

Concept art: Jan Eismann

Been cooking up a new character for a bit... meet January "Jan" Eismann, Danae's roommate and (possibly) coworker. Why is she named January? It's not that interesting of a story, according to her, and she prefers that you just call her Jan, thank you very much! 

Jan won't show up for a...

Hey, sorry I haven't had much to show outside of the comic lately! I've been bogged down with a lot of commissions and day job nonsense, so I haven't had much time to throw any extras up on here lately. I'm hoping maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be able to get back to posting extra sketches weekl...

Finally in the home stretch with this project...as you can see, there's gonna be a background happening for this one too!

Happy New Year!!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! I'm still technically on break from updating the comic for a bit longer, but given the outcome of last week's poll, clearly I had to treat y'all to some more of these gals :) And nothing says "holiday" like gathering around the rec room table with your...

Well, not exactly new...I've been chipping away at this for months now, but since I've been given permission to use these drawings for personal stuff in addition to the project, I think I'm safe to share some WIP content here! For the record, there's a LOT more where this came from...I'll share a...

The Process

Hey! Decided to show a bit more of my process this week (I actually forget if I shared anything like this yet, haha)

I start by drafting the comic out in Storyboard Pro! This is the only part of the process where I draw digitally, just so I can sketch out ideas without wasting paper -- as y...

Hey guys! Not an art post this time, but just a little announcement in case you missed it (I tweeted about it in the middle of the night over the weekend so you most likely did): I have a website for the comic now!

Hey guys!!! You might've already seen this on Twitter but after next week I'll be taking a short break from updating the comic. Between the holidays and various other projects I'm involved in, I need to take some time off from updating to make sure I don't fall behind!
