*whew* Well THAT brought back some memories!  In case you missed yesterday’s page… there was an extra page yesterday.  It’s no huge production, but it was still enough that the extra work combined with Real Life AGAIN had me running way behind schedule on this update.  And this time, I wound up pulling a good, old-fashioned all-nighter; complete with legit “nodding off at my desk” level of exhaustion.  I finally managed to get the art for the Voting Incentive done at around 6am, but by that point I didn’t trust myself to write the commentary and set up the update without getting some sleep first.  So here we are!

But nobody cares about that.  The important thing is that I finally got a chance to do a page of just Mariska and Marshall interacting, so we can start getting a better feel for how their relationship works.  And speaking of relationships, SHIP TEASE #89023548 COMMENCE!

Oh, and in case you couldn’t pick up on it from what I was just saying earlier, there’s a new Voting Incentive where I got waaaaaaay too wrapped up in some artsy details.  That’s half the point of these things: a testing ground where I can experiment with complicated new art techniques and not worry if I horrendously botch them… which didn’t happen here.  The new trick I was trying took a lot longer than expected, but I think the end result turned out VERY nicely.
