Haha, as further evidence of how hard its been for my brain to work this week, today I inked by hand (for the first time in months!) on 11x14 Bristol paper the cover for the OJST book. I went back to traditional media because I thought it might make a good Kickstarter reward-- buy the original artwork of the book cover! 

But it was the wrong design. 

Matt and I had agreed on one sketch and then... I penciled, inked, and colored a different one.

I'm gunna redraw the proper design tomorrow, and do it all digitally since it's faster. 

It's been a rough week in my head. 

I also got the sex toy wallpaper done (digitally), which is for a page in the book and possibly will be one of the Kickstarter wallpapers people can use on their devices. It'll be colored and arranged differently, but the drawings will be usable for both. 

In Kickstarter news, we're just about $1,000 away from 30k, which means having ALL of our expenses covered, so we won't pay any of our savings out of pocket on it AND we'll be able to increase our page rate for all our guest artists, both past and future. Paying our artists a better rate is something I want really, really, really badly. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/erikamoen/oh-joy-sex-toy-the-book 

Hoo boy.
