After working on a sad comic for so long last month, it does me good to have all these games come out in November -- y'know, so I can draw a bunch of goofy fan art for them. I haven't drawn fan art in a long time, so this was all a hoot. Above and below there's stuff from Fallout: New Vegas, Uncharted 3, and Skyrim (with maybe some **spoilers** here and there, so be forewarned!). At the very bottom is a round up of some of my RPG characters from several recentish games (Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout: NV, Dragon Age 2, Fallout 3 & Skyrim).

Margot's Room updated with Part III! I was happy I could get this up in time, considering I am currently in New York for NYCC and my internet access is pretty, er, inconsistent at present. And hey! If you're going to NYCC too, I'll be here promoting the upcoming graphic novel Spera at the Archaia booth with Kyla Vanderklught & Josh Tierney. Check out Kyla's LJ for the schedule &/or more info if you're so inclined!

"Margot's Room" will be a 5-part story that will update every Friday until the end of October. Each week a new line of poetry will be revealed, providing a clue as to where to find the next comic (hint: it will correspond to something in Margot's room). Just a heads up: it does contain horror elements, some sad stuff, and There Will Be (more) Blood.

Also, sorry I've been so quiet on Livejournal these days -- I've been sort of terrible with checking it recently, -- but I do also update my blog, and ramble a lot about goofy stuff on twitter at @emilyterrible, if anyone's so inclined. Thanks, folks! Hope you like the story.

New comic (or storybook story, if you prefer) up today -- partly based on a dream I had, and inspired by Henry J Ford's illustrations from the Green/Blue/Yellow/etc,etc Fairy books edited by Andrew Lang.

Hope you enjoy! It's a horror/romance/black comedy (I daresay?), so heads up for some general unpleasantness.

Hey, folks! Heads up to anyone who's in the area -- the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is this weekend, May 7th & 8th, at the Toronto Reference Library! More information up at the very lovely official site, including a schedule of panels and the terrifyingly talented folks who will be exhibiting. I'll be there myself, sharing a table with the super skilled double whammy of Vera Brosgol & Jen Wang, selling prints, buttons, a postcard set of selected Draw This Dress posts, and my first attempt at a mini comic! (This is my first time exhibiting at a comic festival too, so fingers crossed on not being too nervous to say hullo to any folks who happen by).

The above image is related to the mini I'm working on (and will be getting back to cutting & folding as soon as I post this), called That Night in June. It's actually a larger story told in six smaller parts (which can be read in any order), and consists of seven small minis that each relate to a member of a single family. I really want to thank Kate for helping me put tons of wee booklets together, because she is some sort of stapling prodigy and what's more has had the patience of a saint when it comes to dealing with a very stressed out me. So Kate's great, everyone -- I can never say it enough!

I'll be sitting at Table 109, which... should be pretty easy to spot, I'm thinkin':


WHAT ELSE. I believe that's it for now! Again, I definitely encourage everyone to check out the TCAF guests -- I'm beyond flattered to be exhibiting with all these fine folks, and the programming looks great. I'll update with more as it occurs to me!

Two, I wanted to say congratulations to the folks over at The Anthology Project for their Best Anthology Eisner nomination for Vol 1! I was lucky enough to be involved in Vol 2, which is lookin' gorgeous. Previews of my story and others can be found over here!

More stuff comin' soon! Back to work for me.
