This is a very good tutorial. I used it and got something up on the web! Something that has space for a gallery, even! ...It's still just the freaking template and I haven't had the breathing space to edit it yet but it's on the web. BIG progress!

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

*Looks at the music Angela Morley composed, particularly for Watership Down and The 1974 production of The Little Prince. (fucking uncredited, according to IMDb.) Looks back at you.* Considering what we've been gifted from the eggs that were lucky enough to hatch...yeah, I can see it!

I was feeling pretty pissed off about the Google maps thing, but then I realized that the inclusion of 'a' changed the Great Lakes mneumonic to 'SHAME' That's pretty funny.

Smart people tell me I should post about my book every day, not just when I have new pages. So this is the cover of the collection I will debut in less than a month at SPX. Read this one for free or support me for cheep as I create Part 2 ALL BY HAND on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...
Cover of first trade paperback collection of SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS, part 1, a portal fantasy written, drawn, and painted by Carla Speed McNeil. A wooden wagon with a thatched roof and colored puffs of smoke from its engines approaches a violent magical hurricane. Ellery, the young protagonist, stands on the tailgate.

*chin hands, smiling* Maybe someday I will finally get a Pi. They sound like so much fun and a lot of the stuff I'm playing with now is likely to spill off into some kind of self-hosting project in the future. It's on my someday list for sure!

Today was a little better: Got some errands run, made a pretty good potato salad. Read a short book. Oh, and drew a little! There's this large self-indulgent drawing I've been picking at on and off all year and it's beginning to take shape.

Happened upon this wild film that is notable for the animation but also the rather trippy soundtrack. I thought this might appeal to @johncoulthart.com but after searching feuilleton, he is already on the case Chris James - "After Beardsley" 1981 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfof...

It's small and stupid compared to everything right now, but...I'm about three months out from losing my MIL. Which means that I am moving to rural Michigan by year's end. I have to start all over, in a place I did not want to go. Again. I'm so heartsick.

Shoot, can't tell if it alt texted. It's an ancient YouTube clip of a guy named Weber doing a cooking show. Someone named Saulo Ortiz slapped sad music over it, and the results are, in my opinion, art.

I think you might have been there for that debacle. Either that or it happened just after we all moved out of the L-shaped apartment and into separate states. Fun times. If I could do it all over again - uh, I wouldn't. XD

Of the ones I've visited, Florida 30 years ago was the worst experience across the board. Maybe it'd be different outside of Orlando. Hanging out with ppl I liked. And if I wasn't breaking the law every time I needed to take a leak in a public bathroom. The sunsets and manatees were awesome tho.

My sister in law had an inspired idea to make cold brew coffee yesterday, so I got to try cold brew coffee with condensed coconut milk, ice, and barista blend oat milk for the first time this morning. *Weeping gently* It works. It WORKS! Omg I missed these. Take that, lactose intolerance!

"verify your age" I had a pass/fail class in college where the final assignment required you to render all the projects you had made in Maya into 3-point angle, short animations, compile them into a reel with a dynamic soundtrack, and then burn it onto a VHS. If the tape played, you passed.

Timeline cleanse: American pikas calling to each other in the Canadian Rockies. Sound on to hear the loud “MEEP!” made by these potato sized alpine mammals. They’re way off under those cliffs but the calls travel. *this is likely a niche post, but it’s one of my favorite sounds in the world.

I know right? I was astounded. Like, I struggled to see how he thought that was an idea he should share with the class out loud. Let alone how he thought it would apply to the story. Felt pretty mean-spirited.

There was a -delightful- fellow in a creative writing college class who told me that the character who gave a suicidal child a seed to plant and nurture so she could grow up with it and find out what it became, should be the one who burned that tree down later in the story as an act of "tough love".
