An Open Letter to the Universe

Hi Universe. Remember me? Melody… one of your deepest undercover agents. One of your secret weapons. One of the few people on this ball of Hell that remembers what it was like before, and has clear instructions on the form and function of her Ministry. Ring any bells? No? Well, you sent me here, I’m doing my job (very fucking well I might add) and I am getting NOWHERE. I’m getting ripped off every time I turn around, I’m working my fingers to the bone, and I am getting no support from the one person who was supposed to never fail me. WTF, Universe?!

I’M DROWNING.
I’M FAILING.
AND I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP.
FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!

Your Not-So-Humble Servant,
Melody Herbert

Good News

You’ll be pleased to know that I am indeed working on Ragdoll again.
But these next few pages need to be posted as a complete scene, and that will take some time. I can’t estimate how long it will take, but I’m three pages deep into this scene right now, and I promise you it will be worth the wait. ^_^
You guys trust me, right? ~_^

Sketches

Thanks to last weekend’s horrible storm that knocked out my power for 5 days, the newest Ragdoll page will be late. So, here are some sketches/experimental art to make up for it. Thank you for your patience.

I recently discovered that one can color behind lineart in PS7. Who knew? *shock* Apparently everyone except me. Here’s an unfinished attempt at such digital coloring. Worth it to finish? Anyone?

An old sketch of Ember that I attacked with the crayons a few weeks ago. The original is an 11 x 17, and put this scan to shame.

And last, but never least, I know you guys miss Poltergeist. Don’t worry, he’s not gone for good, but that’s all the info you’re getting out of me today. ^_^
