Here's a sketch I sent to a reader as the reward for their support of the A* Patreon campaign in August:

Queene of the Galaxie! >_> Anyway Patreon is internet thingy that lets you automate kicking a buck or two to your favorite content creators each month, and it's a huge deal for me in being able to keep doing this webcomic gig, so I super-appreciate everyone who's helping me out! And it gives me a good excuse to draw wacky A* sketches every month. ^_^

Apropos of yesterday's resolution to try painting with higher concentrations of watercolor pigment, I did that today, mixing in twice as much pigment as I have been doing, and I did indeed lose the pencil lines here and thereit was touch and go for a bit, I don't mind telling you…sort of bailed myself out somewhat by going a little crazy with the white ink : poh, yeah, here are the pencils:

So like sort of around the eyes and stuff, and definitely the mouth got lost and kinda botched and white-inked-over and redrawn in pencil, for instance. : P And as you can seesince I'm now adjusting these in Photoshop to look pretty much like they do in real lifethe watercolors, so obscuring when painted on wet, hardly came out any darker than they did in yesterday's page, painted with my tried-and-true pencil-friendly lighter solutions. Soo yep I'm going back to those, whew. : P
