INA Prequel 26
Yeah, the island guards are a nasty bunch.
INA Prequel 25 (alt)
Here's an alt version of the page with slightly different dialogue and Skolli mid-change.
INA Prequel 2
Big's such a dad. And hey, a nice moment between Hedwig and Skolli.Notes: Mislabelled this as with the wrong page number by accident. Fixed!
INA Prequel 24
And here's the first introduction to Little Chuck. Big revelation - he's not actually Big's biological son, although they form a father-son bond.Notes: Things have been hectic due to finishing off work for a graphic novel anthology. I managed to redraw some page from an old non-canon comic of INA and turned...
Proposal
Here's another cartoon from the big guy. In the ooooold versions of the SFS comic, Skollina's ex-wife was a bit flat as a character and very unpleasant.So in Iron Nail Afternoon, I've reworked her. Penelope (or Lope, for short) is a pretty tough character, considerably older than Skolli and rather strict. S...
Skolli Design Sheet
Some thoughts and processes behind Skolli's current design in Iron Nail Afternoon. Out of all the characters, Skollina changed the most from the character who featured in the original Smoke Fur And Stone comics (almost 10 years ago.) Here's some thoughts on how and why the change took place.
Prequel 23
Grumpy Jekkel is grumpy.
Trust Me (plus NSFW version)
And here's a lovely piece by the big guy featuring Rachel and The Jekkel (sans tattoos.) There's a NSFW version as well. Just download it to enjoy :)
Iron Nail Afternoon e-books
Here's Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the Iron Nail Afternoon prequel. Just download the attachment and open the pdfs on any suitable program. Enjoy :)
Prequel 22
Jekkel was an elite supernatural soldier at one point so as far as he's concerned, Sed is just a rich boy playing at being Sheriff.Notes: When Jekkel is ill*, he's disorientated and dependent and can barely string a sentence together. But when he's well, he's a bit of a control freak with a superiority ...
Prequel 21
No, he's not alright, Whithers - he's concussed! Or maybe over-worked XD Who here hasn't felt like keeling over from too much work for not enough pay?Notes: Little Easter Egg - all the names that Big says are the first or last names of famous queer writers :)
Prequel 20
Yeah, fighting for a living can take a toll on the winners as well as the losers.Notes: Skolli certainly has a type when it comes to guys - older, hairy, rugged gentlemen who can fight.
Caaaaaake
No such thing as too much cake!
Drink of Champions
Rachel's always so much fun to write XD
Prequel 19
Originally, I was going to have Skolli travel to Iron Nail with Rachel (I tried that on a prototype page.) But it just works so much better if Skolli ferries people around on a little flying boat instead. Gives Skolli a job on Skin Isles and gives Skolli and Hedwig a nice chance to interact like this.
Hedwig (Pin-Up)
A pin-up by the big guy of Hedwig :)
Prequel 18
Yep, the Sed/Skolli dynamic is just about sex, nothing else...yeah, right!
Prequel 17 (Alt)
And her is an alt version. If you look carefully at the painting in Panel 3, you can see that it has Vanessa (oc of long-time reader, BBB35) in it.
Prequel 17
Jekkel's like a cuttle-fish. His tattoos shift according to his moods.Notes: Sed and Skolli have something a little bit more intense than just a business arrangement. Although neither of them likes to admit it.
Prequel 16
Hey, Hedwig! Long-time, no see!Notes: I think that Rachel's spellbooks are getting jealous and want to be petted. Like cats.
Prequel 15
Excited to introduce Jekkel into the comic again. He and Sed have a very weird sort of friendship. Alos, check it out - Sed with wings!
Prequel 14 (NSFW)
And here's the NSFW version of the recent page with Sed.
Prequel 14
And heeeeere's Sed. Hard at work. I'm sure that the dilapidated city feels so safe thanks to his keen detective skills and professionalism XD
Back To Back (NSFW pin-up)
And here's the NSFW version of the pin-up by the big guy :)
Back To Back (Pin-Up)
A pin-up of Skolli in different forms. Done by the big guy :)
Prequel 14
Part of Rachel's witchery includes the ability to travel via a magic bubble. Her nagging is another one of her powers XD
Prequel 13
The floating city has seen better days.
Prequel 12
Skolli avoiding the discussion like a champ.Notes: Vanessa, oc of longtime reader BBB35, once again appears in the background.
Prequel 11
Been sick with flu (which I caught from my husband!) but managed to do some pages so I'll be uploading a bunch of them over the weekend :) Aw, Big has a soft side - at least when it comes to Skolli.
Prequel 10 (Alt)
An alternative version of page 10 of the Prequel. I actually prefer this version since I like the idea of a diner full of magical creatures. In this version, the last panel features some fun background characters such as Vanessa, the OC of longtime reader BBB35 (we'll be seeing more non-speaking cameos of Vanessa e...
