True affection floats

This old drawing got a new wave of attention this week after being posted by Geek & Sundry, the DeviantArt tumblr and twitter accounts, and 9gag.

A lot of people emailed/messaged me to ask about buying prints of it, so I thought I'd post that info here in case anyone else is wondering.  I no longer sell prints online personally--I couldn't make the economics work in my favor--but I have enabled print buying on several of my Deviant Art pieces, including this one.  If you look to the right of the image here, there's an "add to cart" button.  If you click that, you can get started on buying a print from DA.  I've never bought a print from DA, so I can't vouch for their service/quality, but it's simple and the quickest option, with a lot of available sizes.

Option #2 is buying a print from me at a convention.  I make sure to stock prints of this drawing for every show.  I usually make 11x17" prints, but I might try more sizes this year.  I sell them for $20-25, and I'm happy to sign/personalize them.  Here is a list of my 2013 conventions.

Option #3 is for anyone in Portland, Oregon.  There's a print shop called TIS that works with my studio, Periscope Studio, and sells prints of our work in exchange for printing benefits.  They sell 11x17" copies of this print for $20-25.

I have also had several inquiries about commissions.  I am not accepting commissions right now, but I will open up a limited number of commission slots on February 1 (and I'll post info here about it on Feb 1).  Those are only for people who will be attending Emerald City Comicon and can pick up their commissions in person at the show.

In other news, I can't stop listening to this song:

Try not to panic

It's been an unusually long absence for me here--3 weeks! I have been guh-rinding on my can't-show-you projects, with the exception of yesterday when I took the whole day off, got a massage, walked around in the sun, and went to dinner. The graphic novels are coming along (I'm nearly at the halfway point with them both), and the children's books are in their final edits. Soon, soon there will be things to show!

Oh! And Eric Stephenson mentioned this in an interview last week: Between Gears will be published by Image in early 2012!!!! So there's been some necessary prep for that, even though the comic is done, to design the book and extras and such.

For now, please accept these early pencils for two side projects:



It's Monsters & Dames submission time again! I'll post all of the process sketches for this eventually; it went through a lot of different versions before I drew this. I still want to change several things...


Pencils for Women of Wonder Day, previously Wonder Woman Day. You can draw any empowering female character this year, but someone's gotta represent WW ;) As always, I encourage all artists to submit artwork for this! It will be accepted, it will get exposure, and it will raise money for an awesome cause.

It seems so long ago I would see your writing

Yaaaay! The 2011 Monsters & Dames book has been announced on Emerald City Comicon's website. My piece and several of my friends' pieces made the book! :D

Are you here with me?

EDIT: the final version:


My Monsters & Dames 2011 submission:

Monsters and Dames 2011 by ~Tallychyck on deviantART

It doesn't look quite right/done to me. I'll be tweaking tomorrow. Feel free to critique!

I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend

Here's a final preview for the Monsters and Dames piece. I may tweak things later, but I need to call it done for now.

Also, Metric's Gold Gun Girls is amaaaaaziiiing~

Cause when the seaweed sinks and the sun gets low, when the waves retire to the darkness below, I know Ruby sees all

I posted a preview of my Emerald City Comicon 'Monsters and Dames' piece earlier on Twitter, but I thought I would post some proper previews here:

Flatted digital image

I like it so far! I'm a little nervous to finish the color, since I've lost confidence in my digital art skills lately, but...I THINK I CAN!!!!!
