Drawing of the Week

It's the return of the Drawing of the Week! This time it features Marion shapeshifted into a well-known comedienne whom we all *love*...

Find out who after the jump!

Episode 1- Page Thirty-Five

Whadaya hear, whadaya say? The weekly post is up and ready... Hey, so, I've been watching Naruto Shippuden, lately. Have any of you noticed that not a lot happens each episode and that the episodes are composed mostly of filler and inexplicable, exasperating pauses? Well, it's just occurred to me that our weekly pages can be a little like that sometimes. I humbly apologize, but I'm afraid that is the way it must be for now. So, that said, here's Page Thirty-Five. Enjoy the nice artwork, and I hope you have a great week. See you next Sunday.--YJ

Sketch of the Week

I'm back! Brought out the ol' sketchbook yesterday for the Sketch of the Week. Read all about it after the jump!

Episode 1- Page Thirty-Four

Hey, you all! I'm back at ya with this week's page. Adjusting to Daylight Savings Time has gone more smoothly than anticipated, and, therefore, I was able to finish Ernestine's profile last Friday without any drama, so to speak. Don't misunderstand me--I still hate it. It just hasn't knocked me to the floor and kicked me like it usually does. Anyway, speaking of Ernestine, Page Thirty-Four here features the beginning of her...well..."antics," for lack of a better word. (You'll see what I mean on the up-coming pages.) Enjoy, and I'll hit you again next week. Until then!--YJ

Character Profile #5: Ernestine McKenna

Full name: Ernestine Forsythe McKenna

Date of Birth:  Aug 26, 1959 (Virgo)

Age: 49

Height: 5’3”

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Grey

Occupation: Owner of a consignment gift shop, part-time framer

Family: Husband, Joseph; son, Shane; son, Timothy; daughter, Andrea; cousin, Marion; sister, Beatrice; brother; Joshua; mother, Frances

     Cold and stoic, Ernestine McKenna is the captain of the ship that is the McKenna family; she's also Marion's cousin. Although she does not possess the shapeshifting gene herself, it is through her side of the family that Andrea received her powers. Ernestine also has two sons, Timothy and Shane, though, interestingly, neither of them possess shapeshifting abilities. Ernestine's relationship with her children--especially Andrea--is not close: Ernestine is a very "no-nonsense" person who shows little or no emotion. However, her relationship with her son Timothy, a printmaking student, is comparatively the best.
     A folk artist and craftswoman by trade, Ernestine owns a consignment gift shop where she sells her own works as well as the works of other local artists. Unfortunately, her business has not been fairing very well, nor has that of her husband Joseph, who is a carpenter. As a result, the McKenna family finances are in turmoil, and Ernestine has been working a second job as a framer at an arts and crafts store to compensate. Ernestine feels, however, that Andrea should be using her powers to help the family earn money, and never fails to put pressure on Andrea to do so, especially considering Andrea's apparent idleness compared to her brothers, who are both in college. Ironically, though, Ernestine appears to be disdainful of Andrea's work with Marion...

Sketch of the Week

I've returned with two sketches this week-- this time it's Marion's transition from a blond into... well, what she is today! Read all about it after the jump!

Episode 1- Page Thirty-three

Sheeeeeeeee's Heeeeeeere... That's right, the new character has arrived, and it's Andrea's mom--be afraid. It's been a while since we've introduced anyone new, and now I get to present you guys with another character profile this Friday. If, by any chance, I come across as a little grumpy when you read it, pay no mind to that. If it happens, it will only be because of the hour of sleep I'm losing thanks to this outdated, greedy, and sadistic system we employ know as Daylight Savings Time. I don't care if we get an extra hour of daylight; for those of us not on good terms with the morning, DST's a pain in the neck...have a great week, y'all.--YJ (I already sound grumpy, don't I)

Sketch of the Week

Sketch of the Week has returned-- it's been awhile, hasn't it? As promised last week, I have another evolution pic of Andrea. Check it out after the jump!

Episode 1- Page Thirty-Two

It's getting close...so close. Nevertheless, the new character I mentioned is not going to be revealed here on Page Thirty-Two--I apologize. That doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't keep reading while you wait patiently for the promised goods. This week, we find out that Andrea is not a morning person (I can relate). Enjoy! I'll be back next Sunday. See you folks then.--YJ

Shapeshifting & YOU- Part 10

 

Well, we hate to say it, but the Friday comic strip is going on an indefinite hiatus while we try to focus on another SF-related project...

But keep checking in on Wednesdays and Sundays, including Page 32 this Sunday the7th!

And have a great weekend!
