Right on schedule
Aiming for an October deadline with the next few issues (6-10).
It's definitely gonna happen!
I've been using Photoshop for close to 2o years
and I'm just figuring out keyboard shortcuts now...
Fuck off, I speak 3 languages!

The Ever-changing but Constant Secret Chiefs
As mentioned in a previous post (Nov 24, 2014 -HERE-), we have some characters in the adventures of Claire, called The Secret Chiefs. They are constant and never changing entities, always hovering in the background - yet never the same.
The gif below (though not the best quality), should give you some idea of how they're progressing (I'm working on 3 new Chiefs images as we speak!).

This gif is blurry because I made it with a pasta-maker and some cat hair.
Also, aforementioned Claire's adventures have changed a little. I've decided she is no Angel, but is the mysterious Shadowgirl, who keeps appearing in some other Angels' adventures as a best friend. Sidekicks deserve their own (mis)adventures, don't they?

Issue 1 - DeepDreamed
As promised folks, here's Issue #1 of the Angel, as run through a "deep dream" website (namely: http://deepdreams.zainshah.net/ - not sure if the site works anymore).
Have you ever taken acid and then looked at weird or colourful images? Quite boring wasn't it (compared to the hallucinations, that is)? Well, that's what happened here - DeepDream looked at my comic and went "It's so damn weird, I can't hallucinate on top of it..."
I find the result(s) a bit "meh" - the filter is amazing, but the images aren't very mind-bending - probably because there is so much white space... or the above explanation. It's not to say this is all crap, btw.
Either way, see what you think - ENJOY!

... and work continues/ Ed the Happy Clown/ deep dreamin'
Howdy folks!
So here's several updates rolled into one.
First, yes, I'm working on upcoming issues.
Here's a screenshot of a page I was just fixing up in photoshop (where the dialogue is born):

OMG! It's a komm byoo tarr!
Not the champion on the mid-left, in fact, here, have a close-up:
This really happened
This panel is a tribute of sorts to the comic Ed the Happy Clown - more the pic than the words. If you haven't read Ed, get amongst it, it's very odd, very funny and very sad too. But very surreal and dream-like. Google it. But back to my panel. In Ed, there is a man who can't stop crapping. Literally. It's all explained why in the comic, but my soldier there, well, he's an homage to that - cozit'sfuknfunny!
Lastly, have y'all been "deep dreaming"? With Google's awesome AI? (Reminds me, must google video for self-aware AI again... you read right)
Anyways, my gorgeous partner, the Maharishi Walnut suggested I run the Angel through it, so here's the first result - soon to be followed by the entire first issue.
ENJOY!
