The goddess of witchy webcomics

I almost forgot to add... The first new strip SHOULD be up in the morning, barring any problems with KeenSpace ComicGenesis. For right now, I'm continuing the old arc from 2003. When I have more of a buffer built up, I'll start adding in some strips to continue the Jenny Everywhere story from 2005.

This strip marks the beginning of the end of Roger's mullet. ^_^

Also, after this arc, Roger will start to show a bit more variety in his wardrobe (as seen in the Jenny Everywhere story arc). In fact, I can safely say that this arc is going to be changing quite a few things in the TW universe.

This arc has been a long time in coming (as has the one that will follow it), and so have the changes it brings. As DC Comics said back in '86: "And NOTHING will ever be the same."

Several years ago, I spent about six hours trimming away all the background of the current TW logo, to give it a transparent background so I could superimpose it over other images (like the splash panel of the Sunday strips).

Six hours.

While trying to find a way to take an image with no transparency and give it a transparent layer (I wanted to cut out a portion of a new strip and paste another image behind it, so that it peeked out through the transparent area), I found out how the magic wand tool works. I tried it out on the original scan of the TW logo that I still had saved, and the job I'd done in six hours took me less than a minute.

All of you who are already familiar with your paintshop programs can feel free to point and laugh hysterically at me. I deserve it.

Well, I'm out of work. I'd seen this coming for over a month, so it's something of a relief. I've been so exhausted for quite some time now, because the store kept refusing to hire any help for me during the Christmas season (I worked in the toy department, so that was pretty stupid). Then, the week AFTER Christmas, they hire someone to help in Toys -- when the work was actually at a manageable level for me. Infer from that what you will.

Anyway, this means I get to start looking for a new job, but the good news is that I now have time to work on TW. I'll be trying to build up a nice backlog of new strips while I'm unemployed, because I know I'll have less time to draw once I find another job.

Also, I just noticed today that the www.tashasworldcomic.com address is FINALLY working. Wheeee!

Heh. ^_^

In other news, today's strip SHOULD be up, but for some reason, I can never get Keens-- Comic Genesis to update it without a bunch of hassle with manually creating the page and doing lots and lots of manual updates while I jack around with the index page. I don't feel like doing all that crap right now; I'm tired and I have some touching up to do on the next couple of strips, plus lettering and all that, then sleep, then back to work tonight.

If it's not up by the time I wake up this evening, I'll see what I can do.

Edit: It's finally up. Enjoy. Or not. Whatever.

I apologize for the absolute suckiness of the most recent update (WARNING: Probably NSFW). The pencils (which I actually had done last week) weren't that great, but when I inked (which is usually where I correct any pencilling mistakes) I did sort of a rush job, because my hands were bothering me again.

In other news, I've got two new strips pencilled, so I'm taking a bit of a break before starting the next strip. I'm probably not going to ink these, as all my pigment liners AND my Sharpies are running dry and I don't have the money to spare to buy new ones. This means I'll have to put more detail into my pencils than I've done in a long time.

I really need to get some strips done during my work week, so I can get caught up. -_-'
