the cat has fallen. the situation is at a loss.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA)

so to start off - people may have noticed downtime last week (especially with hekshano.com and wonky-acting forums) but this was not an unexpected thing. my gracious hostess needed to shuffle servers, and in the process hekshano stopped mirroring inhuman-comic.com. this in turn wonked out the forums. it's all fixed now, for the most part, though.

another thing people may have noticed is the twitter feed on the front page is broken. unfortunately this is not expected. twitter i guess killed their rss feed code of tweet timelines, which means that not just mine but ANYONE using a similar code has found their feed borked. there's not really a quick or easy way for me to fix it, i'll probably just replace that area with links to various social networky sites or something.

other than that, uhm...sorry for the delay? it was a bit of a combination of factors, like not feeling well on sunday for one...but mostly it was because i got animal crossing: new leaf and sort of... fell in. i really missed animal crossing i guess! i played it a TON in college, and i really enjoyed my wild world town til some dweebs trashed it. so i am going a little overboard with crossin' animals these days. it'll die down after a while i'm sure haha.

and let's see for fanart coppelia drew a hairless moth nikitak! why a hairless moth? well...

( art by me, one mildly NSFW bondagey this week )

right, that's all i got. now to go close the windows AGAIN because these 20 minute bursts of STORM followed by two hours of NO STORM have cycled back to STORM again.

Inhuman update!
(inks over on DA like normal)

sorry for not posting a journal in two weeks, i was enjoying my brief break. i gotta confess, sometimes the blog entry is the hardest part of an update. WHAT DO I EVEN SAY AAAA

uh so anyway yeah new arc has started, we're back on the shard. this page references stuff from both pg 109 and 268. this arc will largely be about mites v utini, the shard, drakia etc. oh, and making vaccinations. possibly also a fight scene to keep things interesting. maybe some torture. you know, we'll see how it goes.

summer has arrived here, i guess. we had like two weeks straight of rain and now it's in the 90s every day. new england what are you doingggg

oh. yeah. things i drew.
( inhuman things (safe for work-ish, some profanity) )

i also drew some doofy superteens sketches
( doofy superteens under here )

and developed a pokemon fusion addiction
( FUSE DANCE )

and uh. yeah, that's...more or less all i got. stay hydrated, stay safe if you're in a storm area, and i'll see y'all next week i guess.

inhuman update...sorta?
(no inks this week, sorry)

so the grand tradition of april first comics continues, but this year the joke's not on the reader. you can take it to be an alternate reality, or a hallucination, or just actually part of what's going on in the comic if you like. but either way the joke's not on you.

MOSTLY I BLAME MOTHER3, it gets your head into such a EVERYTHING MUST BE A DOWNER place.

and while i wish i could say i have the mite writeup for you, sadly? i do not. the progress i made on it this week was lost earlier when my computer rebooted itself overnight (thanks windows 7 :| ) and i have the wretched habit of not saving work i have open on my desktop. so all the writing i'd done was lost, and i have to start over. i do have some art that will go with it though! that will all be under the cut.

at great personal risk to my sanity, i also began the ardious process of getting back to ask kyo. so far he's answered a question about schooling on hekshano and (again) a question about his sexuality.

in the world of fanart this week there was a ludvic doodle from kep and a new chuian oc from dying dutchman.

and then there's stuff from me
( sryy 45-b art in here )

back to the normal comic next week, and we'll be finishing up this arc in april. which is good, it's just in time for all this FREAKIN SNOW TO MELT.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are over on DA like normal)

so this week i ran into some issues with the page related to the ink. my blue microns are worn down to dry little nubs, and i intended to pick up a replacement only to discover the store was only stocking the smallest, thinnest type of micron (the .005 size) which is useless to me. so, i thought a store brand archival ink pen would work just as well.

ha. ha ha. boy was i wrong. as soon as the watercolour hit that bad boy, even after the ink had been left to set overnight, it just bleed everywhere. just BLUE IN EVERY AREA, BLURRY BLUE FOR EVERYONE. so the moral here is that there really is no substitute for microns. microns or gtfo.

completely unrelated, if you like scifi comics you should really be following the stellarmass alien compendium comic keetah is doing!

oh and i guess i should mention that next week's page will have a different setting. it's a jump ahead several hours, and so it might feel like you're 'missing' a chunk of the story. this is intentional, but because of the weekly update nature, this location change may seem confusing at first. but you won't have missed a page, and it will make sense by the end of the arc. just a warning.

for fanart this week there's some by kep, io and a new fanartist, waterfan!

as for me, i've been slowly working on the mite homeworld wallpaper. i want to get the wallpaper up first, followed by the planetary write-up, and hopefully i'll have at least one of those for you by next week.

( i also drew some art for sokki. safe for work, but silly )

for those wondering about pet fostering, it did not work out. not any fault of the dog, but ren reacted very severely to his presence. more than to any other dog she's lived with/met/befriended. she hid and would not eat, drink, or groom herself. many people have said that she was 'secretly' eating, but i'm not sure how that could be possible considering her dish was untouched. we finally resorted to coaxing her to eat by feeding her in the bedroom with us and letting her drink from the bathroom sink while we bathed, but she still lost a lot of weight and was not looking well at all by the end of the week. we still don't know exactly what it was about the dog that scared her more than any other dog she's met. we probably never will. but we weren't going to jepordize her life just to have a dog.

so, for her safety, the dog moved on to another foster home. it still really hurt to say goodbye to him, he was a very sweet dog. however, according to the shelter, the fact that we were willing to be the first house he'd ever gone to and reported actively his reactions to household things, his chances of being adopted are drastically increased. i guess not a lot of people are willing to give a dog that's only ever lived in a shelter/abusive conditions into their home. but because we did, and he did very well, he's now got people already lined up to see him. so even though he could not stay here, we still helped him in a small way. they'll let us know when he gets adopted.

...and then of course for an extra kick-to-the-junk from the universe, we came home and i found my elderly rat voiya had passed away in those few hours we were gone.

ren is recovering now, though. she ate voraciously for two days and is being even more clingy than usual. i doubt we'll look at another dog anytime soon, but maybe the next time we do we'll look at an older or smaller dog in hopes it will be less intimidating for her.

them's the breaks.

Inhuman & Unintentional Mishaps update!
(and the inks for the inhuman page are here on DA)

so like i worried about last week, visiting family kind of forced the comic to be shifted to the back burner for a week. but now it's back!

along with the new page of unintentional mishaps by sokki! we get a peek at the bounty hunter crew :O dun dun dunnnn...i guess y'all will have to wait a while longer to find out if mint & company have survived the crash unharmed.

additionally....

THE CHARITY DRIVE ENDS MARCH 3RD!

and currently the myches are in the lead! that means if they win you'll get to learn aaaall about the myche homeworld. :o plus a fancy background of just...the scenery of it all. AND please remember that a kind anonymous donor has offered to match the grand total of the drive's raised funds and donate it to a charity of our choosing! so you can make your charitable works count for double, you just have to do it BEFORE MARCH THIRD!

oh, and cosumin was so superkind and drew a valentinesy koji. <3

anyways, here comes the arts by me toot toot :O
( mostly safe for work, a bit of blood here and there )

okay! that's all i got! see y'all next sunday...WHEN THE CHARITY DRIVE ENDS!

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are still on DA for y'all)

my apologies for not posting a journal last week. it was my birthday on monday and i was really really tired on sunday. just didn't want to have to do it. i am sure you can forgive me :B

and since it's time to file taxes today, i can't really spend much time on this entry. so i'll just go through the works real quick.

1) i totally owe the charity drive tally an update. i'll do that later today i hope.
2) i'll be working later this month to start the inhuman vinyl sticker club (which includes raffles for art by me)
3) regular stuff!

there's new fanart from a LOT of folks (birthdays tend to do this) including kilo, merlin, kep, garuda, zarla, steph, mulder, keetah/maniac, cypress/adamska, chris, dawnstar and flabbeycrossing. THANK YOU GUIIIIIS :>c

and i drew a bunch of stuff. there's a bit of blood and girlybutt under here, so scroll with caution?
( hekshanian butt and zombieblood under this cut )

apart from this i guess i should say my bday was awesome??? i got a coyote skull from mulder (so cool) and the ENTIRE MUD chipped in to buy me a for-serious soviet space program propaganda poster featuring yuri gagarin catching a rocket with belka and strelka the spacedogs. plus a ton of art, a whole bunch of LSP related items, 8-tracks, snax and all manner of nifty stuff.

and now i really should get going cause one thing that is def a part of getting older is doing taxes. blehhhhh taxes.

inhuman update!
(there was also a page last week, and the inks for both are on DA)

now might be a good time to remind yourself exactly how cin wound up in the hospital. just sayin'. might change how you view the coming exchange if you've forgotten that. but hey, if you really want to read it from em's POV then you don't have to :O

i should let y'all know alf is doing much better. after a week of nearly daily visits to the hospital and a bunch of anxiety ridden days and nights, the wound has almost entirely healed. today was the last day of antibiotics, and he can resume work again tomorrow. still, extremely stressful time there and THANKS FOR KICKING OFF THE YEAR THAT WAY 2013!

i'm just going to tell myself that it wanted to get all the bad stuff out of the way, since my bday is later this month (on the 28th :O) and the rest of the month needed to be A+


speaking of things that are A+, though....!
the charity drive is almost to 7000$ raised! that is AMAZING you guys! keep on donating and helping folks out. especially giving blood and donating money - organizations trying to help natural disasters like relief for hurricane sandy? need blood and cash more than ANYTHING ELSE. so keep that in mind!

lesse. for fanart this week there's a buncha stuff. art by dying dutchman, merlin, chickenteeth, reno, fax, sokki and io!

and there's also art by me, but not a ton.

( all safe for work )

oh, and i've also been doing a guest mini-arc over at Intergalactic Truckstop all month! this gives chaz a chance to work on his zombie side project.

and speaking of zombie side projects...
that's a post for another day

later, space cadets!

inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA as par norm)

before we go any farther, let me point out that the inhuman charity drive is doing really well so far! we've raised almost 4,000$ in the first week! be sure to get your donations in soon, and don't forget that the speedgamers mario marathon for the Make a Wish foundation is coming up on friday!



BUT. if you want a quick option RIGHT NOW, and want to help a sick cat, consider giving to the indiegogo campaign for hank. i WILL count this towards the drive, and nobody's pet should have to die so close to the holidays.

i'm not really sure what else to say this week! welcome to any new readers, i guess? please feel free to offer me any crit, i'm really just an amatuer learning as i go.

in ask kyo this week, kyo had two questions that were TOO EMOTIONALLL for him to answer, but otherwise talked about alien booze, lady humans shackin' up with aliens and moths or something.

oh hunter bahamut drew a thing this week too?

and then i drew some stoof too

( all safe for work, with a few aliens stuck in goo for chaz )

welp, that's all i got really. if you don't mind, though, would you mind ranking the comic on inkoutbreak?

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are over on DA for erry'body)

yeesh what to say about this week. zarla started playing silent hill downpour and streaming it (because we live IN THE FUTURE) so i've been watching. i wrote some stuff up at about 20% into the game. by 40% most of my feelings remain the same, but there was a completely gratuitious enemy introduced which so far Nobody Likes At All and really the game would have been better without so downpour's major weakpoint has really been enemy design thus far. other than that it...looks like a silent hill? feels like one? obviously the team did their homework, and they're not trying to horn into anyone else's storyline (like origins or shattered memories) nor stealing monsters from anyone else (like origins and homecoming) which already puts it head and shoulders above other newer silent hills.

other things that happened this week: i seriously messed up my toe and joined weasyl (not at the same time)

but on to inhuman stuff.

this week kyo answered questions about grey's weight, statues of himself, interplanetary student exchanges, tail awareness, how he's feeling and his opinions on contura.

ravagefox drew two new pictures

and i drew some stuff too.

( all safe for work stuff )

oh, and if your browser is google chrome (or chrome-esque) you might want to check this out. take a walk through our celestial neighborhood, why not!

one last thing before i head out for the week though. this month? has been pretty tough on us. so if you were considering buying something from the inhuman shop or someday dropping something in the tip jar? now is a good time. like, a really good time.

and uh. that's all i got, i guess. later, droogs.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are over on DA)

not a whole lot to report on the comic front this week. other than a reoccuring numerical motif again. oh, and that raspberry maggot drew a lovely creepy picture of grey. yes <3

before i go any further, though, AMERICANS, ATTENTION PLEASE

this week is the voting deadlines for lots of states, and here's the breakdown:
MONDAY'S DEADLINE STATES
Virginia

TUESDAY'S DEADLINE STATES
Kansas
Maine
Maryland
Minnesota
New Jersey
Oregon
West Virginia

WEDNESDAY'S DEADLINE STATES
Massachusetts
Wisconsin

FRIDAY'S DEADLINE STATES
Nebraska

who you vote for is really not my concern, and if you write in "turtles in pajamas" on your ballot for who you cast your votes for hey, more power to you! BUT. a lot of these ballots include things like BALLOT INITIATIVES and you probably DO want to vote on those because they directly effect the laws of your home state.

like for example in my home state, we have one where we're voting on if it should be legal or illegal for private mechanics to be allowed to fix cars. obviously i think it should be legal cause who the hell has money to pay a dealership every time? but every state is different.

so uh yeah. registering this year is SUPER SUPER EASY cause you can do it online. someone said they did it in like less than five minutes. here's some sites you can use to register (spyware free)

http://www.gottaregister.com
http://www.rockthevote.com/home.html

if you've ALREADY REGISTERED, DON'T REGISTER AGAIN. it'll invalidate your current registration and you won't be able to vote in november.

also remember that registering as a party doesn't obligate you to vote for that party. if your parents are pressuring you to register with the Rolling Tomato party and you'd rather vote Orange Popsicle party, you can make both yourself and them happy. also if you register as a Normal Pokemon party member but two days before the vote they say something really wretched that makes you want to vote for the Fire Pokemon party instead, you totally can.

apologies to those already registered, i will be posting these entries through the month as deadlines for various states draw near.

now that we're through with that

who would like to see some bug pokemon?

( bug pokemon! )

catch y'all sometime next week, probably with more bug pokemon art.
