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

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA as usual!)

hey! HEY! you know what you should do RIGHT NOW? VOTE FOR INHUMAN in the march mix madness seeding round! you should also vote for other webcomics you enjoy, but if you vote for inhuman i will be *extra* pleased.

in other news, the 2012/2013 charity drive is done! in the end, you all helped raise over 8,000$ for charities all around the world. THAT IS AMAZING. give yourselves a huge congratulatory self hi-five. or a party. or something good! cause you're AWESOME!


so that means sometime soon i'll be releaseing info on the mite homeworld, plus a background of their planet. which i admit, i have been hoping to get to do. MASSIVE CRAGS AND VOLCANOS WHAT WHAT

i'm working on contacting inhuman's anonymous charitable partner who will anonymously donate a matched amount to the charity of choice. right now i'm leaning heavily towards the local animal shelter. see, we visited there this last weekend and began the process of fostering/adopting a really sweet dog named moe. and the shelter is positively amazing considering the financial state of the city it's in. what they're doing is amazing and i want to be able to give back even more than just adopting one of their pups.

there was also a bunch of fanart this week! art from tavanaka (THATS RIGHT HES BACK :DDDDDDDDD) cosumin, ravagefox and new art by Okori, the artist for trance!

anyway that's all i got. and remember! VOTE FOR INHUMAN!

inhuman update!
(aaaaaand your inks are on DA, par the norm)

not a whole ton to say this week. we had a guy come poke at hte pellet stove, but it behaved while he was here and he couldn't find any problems when he took parts of it out. rather than charge us for a replacement part when he couldn't confirm if that part was even the problem, he left it as-was and said to call him when/if it failed again.

so of course, it failed during the blizzard! which was okay, we still have heat from the furnace. but we are buried under almost three feet of snow. OH BOY MY FAVOURITE :|

the gekin stickers arrived and look REALLY nice, and the first wave of donors who asked for them should have them en-route by now. the next wave will leave sometime around the 22nd!

and...dun dun dunnnn


the myches take the lead!

but there's still time! just a few more weeks, remember, it ends the first week of march. so if you want to topple the myches, GET IN YOUR DONATIONS TO CHARITIES NOW!

for fanart this week, there's art from aspect and jay.

i did some stuff too :o
( all safe for work )

that's really all i got. next week's page may be late, since family is visiting and...well, as everyone knows by now, my family has little concept of or respect for "i am working on something. the fact that it is a comic does not make it unimportant." my apologies in advance.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA as usual... plus an animation of the comic getting coloured on tumblr)

brr january is a bit harsh so far. but we're making due! not a whole ton to report on that end. alf is 100% healed at this point, which is good, but the disability for him being out for a week only paid for 5 hours of work time which is very bad. on top of that, the pellet stove we use to save on heating oil broke (noooooooooooo) and will cost 300$ to fix. so i'll be running another donor-rewards-fundraiser thing sometime this month.

the typical rewards are a sticker or a sketch, and i haven't finished the sticker yet, but if you want to get in early on the ground floor here's the chipin :B

but before you help me i urge you to donate to the luekemia foundation. there's this nice young lady trying to raise 1000$ for the foundation, and so far she only has 310$! if she makes it to her goal, she'll shave her head. check out her fundraiser here!

oh and did i mention donating to her fundraiser for the luekemia foundation totally counts in the charity war?
it does!


and speaking of the charity war...

the myches are slightly behind the mites, but that's all about to change as soon as i do the math for a MASSIVE donation from dying dutchman. so if you really want to see one side triumph over the other, now's the time to SEND ME PROOF YOU WERE HELPING OUT! c'mon dudes! three months to go! let's do this!!

speaking of dying dutchman, let's on to fanart shall we?
this week there's art by dying dutchman, shadycreepykid and cosumin! i also have some art by relativefox but i swear to god i can not figure out where i put his file for the fanart archives. is it under another name? D: sorry relative, i WANT to update your page!

also i drew some things.
( sfw unless pinup gekin fully clothed aren't )

i do believe that's all i got for y'all this week. over the next three months i may find myself busy with another side project, but i'll do my best to keep the comic updates on time and all that! catch ya on the next orbital flight out

Inhuman update, sorta
(no inks cause it's the traditional new years filler art)

before you check out the annual new years filler, also know there is a new unintentional mishaps page waiting to crash-land on your retnas. :O

there's also fanart by ocelynx, cosumin, copperdust and zarla. plus, a nikitak costume tail by pickledlemur!


the charity drive is still poking along! much slower than previous years so far, but 5k is still nothing to sneeze at for readers giving to charity in rough economic times! you all rock so much.

don't forget that donating used clothing or toys for needy kids also counts. lots of things count! go see just what counts, and then tell me all the good you did this year!

2012 has been an intense year. calmer than 2011 for me personally, though! but what i really would like to do in 2013? is get back on the convention circuit. i kinda miss those. maybe i'll do some manner of thing to pull that off, who knows!

and since this is the last blog post i'll make here until 2013 (which will contain inhuman's 10th anniversary as a webcomic in march!) i suppose i should leave it with some sort of parting wisdom for the year to come. hmm. i think i have just the thing.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA, as usual)

the art this week is kind of week, due to recent events making it very difficult to focus. since there are a few inhuman readers and friends of mine who live in newtown, CT, please keep them in your thoughts and hopes. if you can spare it, as well, consider donating to the fund members of the town have set up to help recover.

any donations to this charity will count towards the inhuman charity drive as well. just make sure you forward me proof.


this week kyo answered questions about written Uni, how nude aliens carry things like wallets, coming out in hekshanian culture, anime and talking to his past self. jino also answers a question about myches.

also PS: the speedgamers mario marathon for the Make A Wish foundation is still going on. it will end monday. right now, though, a 10$ donation will enter you into the raffle for a wii u deluxe. you should completely get on that.

i don't really have very much to say this week. the page MIGHT be late next week, considering the upcoming holiday and the fact that we have planned to go to a relative's place for xmas. i'll do my best to avoid that.

but it is also worth noting that grey now has his own fanclub on deviantart. if you're a fan of the scruffy-haired scarred schizophrenic, you should probably go join! and submit art or fics or things. yes, yes you should.

later, droogs.

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are on DA)

also there's a new unintentional mishaps page in case you missed it.

but let's skip all the usual banter and get right to the guts. the charity drive has gone live!


last year things were so hectic with moving into the new house and everything that the drive wasn't really an option for me. but THIS YEAR, BACK ON TRACK. long time readers already know the drill: if you've done something charitable this year and saved proof of it (donating blood, time at a shelter, giving money to the speedgamers etc) you email it to me (cial AT deathsticks.org) and tell me which side it's for.

this year's battle is Myches vs. Mites! the winning side gets a detailed landscape style drawing of their home planet in computer desktop background size, plus a planetary write-up. and! if we beat the 2010 donation drive total of 17,000$ raised for charity, BOTH planets get drawn/written about!

remember, you don't need to donate hundreds of dollars here. i'm talking something as simple as a 1$ can of soup in the food donation drive box at your local supermarket. that's all it takes! you can do it! :D I BELIEVE IN YOU!


What you should Do:
If you want to contribute to the war, do this.
-donate your time or money or blood or whatever to a reputable source.
-get proof of such. (a receipt, a signed note on an official letterhead, "i gave blood" pin/sticker image, a screenshot of an online donation etc)
-email me the proof cial AT deathsticks.org with which side you'd like it to count for (Myches or Mites)
-feel good about yourself :D

-DO NOT SEND ME MONEY. i'm not a gobetween! send it DIRECT to charities.
-DONATIONS TO PETA WON'T BE HONORED. PETA is really freaking crazy and i do not support them. donate to the humane society instead.
-ALSO DO NOT SEND PHOTOS OF YOUR BANDAGED BLOODGIVING ARM :D i have a phobia of needles. an 'i gave blood' sticker is quite sufficent, thank you!
-PLEASE DON'T ask if something obviously not charitable can count. i had someone once request i add almost a year's worth of donation hours for them taking care of a pet (healthy) lamb. be cool guys.

since there's so many things you can donate to, here's a ROUGH list of for how much they'd count for in the donation terms.

1 hour of donated time	20$
a blood or plasma donation	100$
a donated food item	5$ + item value each
a donated toy/book/clothing	25$
an adopted shelter pet	100$
a $$ donation to a charity	whatever you gave!

if you really have no idea where to start, i've compiled a list of charities over here!
feel free to email me if you've got one you'd like to add to the list :>

aright guys. ball's in your court. ready, get set, do some good!

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

first off, before anything else, i want to thank ANYONE and EVERYONE who donated to/promoted The Speedgamers during their pokemon marathon last week. they not only raised their goal of 50,000$ for ACT today but also raised an extra 9,000$ on top of it! and of course, caught all the pokemon. it was a great marathon to watch and i was really glad to be able to help and be a part of it on some level.

on that note, a ultra-quad-extreme-o thanks to the people who bid on my poison pokemon paintings. i'm not sure who the final winner was, but you guys were amazing. as a group, your bids on the paintings raised about 1800$ for the charity. that made me feel really warm and fluffy and have EMOTIONS about pokemon and pokemon fans. it was glorious, and you rock.

anyway, on to the comic. i experimented with two other pen colours this week (sepia and green) and i really do not know what i think of the sepia pens so far. i'm considering not using them in the future. any feedback would be fantastic, please don't hesitate to leave that (or critique) in the comments or e-mail.

i did write a bit about it on tumblr, but i rambled as usual.

for fanart this week, furor joined the archives with art of his awesome hybrid character along with hadrin's renditions of inhuman space ships! myxini mailed me two amazing shirts along with an adorable little piece of chuian art as well. be sure to check all of them out!

to donors from last month - your stickers and sketches (if you requested the physical copy) will be mailed later this week! i was going to mail them today, but then...it started to rain. walking to the post office in the rain with a bag of art is never a good idea, no sir.

oh and art by me?

( nothing explicit, but more uptight workplaces might not like these pix on your monitor )

anyway, that's all i got til the next page goes up! i'll be making the end-of-the-month donation comic/widgit later today, i did lose out on a lot of work time because i was doing speedgamery stuff this month (and especially last week) but any help is appriciated.

later, space cadets! catch you on the dark side of europa!

Inhuman update
(and if you didn't see it, the inks were on DA)

woopth. sorry for the delay in the blog post. the weather was nice, thundercats was bad, i just had other things foremost on my mind. but now it's a miserable rainy day, so LETS GOOOooo

straight out of the gate y'all probably noticed there's a different colour pen being used on the backgrounds now. i'm not certain if i'll stick with this or not, it's just something i'm trying out to help avoid the characters getting lost against the backgrounds. this isn't so much a problem for old readers (who know where to look) as it is new. and really a comic page should be engaging to old and new viewers alike because :o i dunno it just should

i talked a lot about what i was attempting with the blue pen and what i thought of it here and here.

there is detailed data on morbacks on the site now, though. so anything you ever wanted to know about sers' species, babam. enjoy.

for fanart this week there was stuff from blankd, delcat, garuda and dying dutchman. personally i like del's RADSLIME more than should be healthy.

there was no ask kyo last week because i didn't have the time to text up the drawn responses, but it's back on schedule for this week now.

i drew some things. not a lot, though.

( all safe for work unless your boss hates fuzzy aliens )

i'd also like to draw your attention to the fact that right now if you make a minimum donation of 5$ to ACT today via the speedgamers i will draw something for you. for more details on that, check here.

PLEASE consider donating to TSG. it's for a really good cause, and 100% of the proceeds are going to ACT Today. plus you get to watch them catch pokemon! who doesn't love pokemon? :D

oh, and to readers off to that major convention this week, have fun! say hi to amber for me!

sorry about the massive delay. while family was here, alf got struck with The Sick. and then he immediately passed it on to me. this week has been kind of a waste spent languishing in illness.

in fact really the only thing i accomplished was inking this thing for the speedgamers...

anyway today will mostly be spent working on the comic. i'm doing my best to get it back on track so it'll be up by sunday at the latest. i have a lot of lost time to make up for, though, so it might be rough.

which means it's time for COFFEE!
