Googly Eyes

Posted on May 6, 2013 by BrassyDel

I’ve had a very stressful week fighting with our health insurance company. I have to argue almost every claim, and seriously: I have a disabled 3 year old. We have A LOT of claims. Most recently they’re denying her post-op physical therapy, because they’re A: cheap, B: assholes, C: their computer system can’t talk nicely to Children’s Hospital regarding correct…

Beach Bum Brassy

Posted on April 29, 2013 by BrassyDel

We went to San Diego recently for a long weekend because Hubble’s company takes really good care of their employees. The kids stayed with Gramma and the dogs stayed at the kennel, which has pretty much happened never. We don’t really take vacations, unless you count spending four days (twice) at The Children’s Hospital a “vacation”. I still can’t decide…

Show-off: Dr. Office Background!

Posted on April 17, 2013 by BrassyDel

I spent a non-trivial amount of time working on the doctor’s office background, which you barely see in Monday’s comic, so let’s take a closer look! First, I started with a crap-tastic little doodle on Paper by 53, emailed that myself, and used it as the base guide for drawing the actual background in Photoshop. I knew I wanted Nurse…

(How Not To) Care For Your Child’s Spica Cast

My daughter was born with bilateral dislocated hips, which is pretty severe hip dysplaysia. She had to have two surgeries in the fall to put the head of the femur into the sockets, which required cutting a short chunk out of the femur and cutting the pelvis to shape it correctly around the femur. Clearly, it was a lot more…

Monsters! That Sing!

Pixie likes monsters, especially singing ones. Here’s a little dude inspired by the Mammot from the iPad app My Singing Monsters.

Biiku and Katii

Posted on April 8, 2013 by BrassyDel

I’ve been working on the early parts of Tomo, before Biiku and Katii make friends, so this happened. I’m also doing a lot of character refinement, mostly for Katii right now. She’s getting a hobby in common with Amanda, which ties in a more robust Amanda-Kiran backstory (OH SNAP).

Not Maddy, Take 1 (and 2)

Posted on April 5, 2013 by BrassyDel

I posted the first of these on Twitter awhile back, but here’s some early concept art of… Uh… Girl Who’s Replacing Maddy in Tomo but Doesn’t Have a Name (Yet). I love Maddy, which is actually why she’s getting cut. The same character appears in my superhero comic, but those worlds do not coexist. So Maddy Jones gets to be…

I hope y’all ain’t sick of Amanda yet, because here’s 3 more faces.

Trixie the Pitty

Posted on March 27, 2013 by BrassyDel

I love dogs and I love drawing, and I love the Boulder Humane Society (where my own dogs were adopted from), so I drew y’all an adoptable dog! Trixie is a 4yr, 9 mo year old tan pit bull mix.
