Paper Doll Veronika on Webtoons

This first chapter of my webcomic, Paper Doll Veronika, is now up on Webtoons here!

Further chapters should be there soon. The uploading interface is very easy to use, but it tends to freeze, probably because of my slow internet connection. Also, each page requires the addition of a border to fit the format. I really hope the text isn't too small on mobile, because that would require more difficult reformatting, and the main reason to post on Webtoons is for the sake of telephone readers; my own site doesn't work too well thereon.

Of course the comic will remain and update first on said website, that being also the place to find bonus material and animated panels, which I won't be able to do on Webtoons.

Adventurers' Guild exceeding limits

Today is my younger brother's birthday! On this day, I salute his accomplishment with his webcomic, Adventurers' Guild.

Art is often strengthened by limitations. I admit, however, that at first I thought he had limited himself too much with the medium of sprite-based pixel art.

But as it went on, he has found method after method of pushing the boundaries and exceeding the ostensible limits of this medium. Which makes for heightened intensity at those moments!

Check it out on the Adventurers' Guild website or on Webtoons!

Bl. Imelda coloring page preview

This is one of the coloring pages newly made especially for The Day-by-Day Coloring Book of Saints, Volume 2, which contains saints for every single day of July through December. It's available here or from Amazon.

Volume 1, which has January-June, is available here.

Blessed Imelda Lambertini was a figure I particularly wanted included in the book, which is why therein she's given the alternate date of December 20; her usual day is May 12, but that's an observed day, of St. Pancras. She was a young religious oblate who dearly wanted to receive the Blessed Sacrament but wasn't going to be allowed to until she was 13 years old. When she was 11, the Sacred Host levitated over to her, so the superiors relented in the face of the miracle and she was given Communion. She died of ecstasy.

It's beautiful, and it goes to show how thoroughly, damnably stupid it is to forbid Mass and Communion because of  the possibility of contraction of a virus that might cause some people to die. If we truly understood in our hearts what is happening whenever we receive Communion, WE WOULD DIE. Like Blessed Imelda. So I suppose according to the people who think possible death must be avoided at all costs, we should ALWAYS forbid Communion!

Obviously, I am not saying that we should not take reasonable care to preserve human lives, but I am saying that death is by far not the worst thing in reality, and that many things are far more important than avoiding the possibility of death. The Blessed Sacrament primary among them.

St. Lucian coloring page preview

This is one of the coloring pages newly made especially for The Day-by-Day Coloring Book of Saints, Volume 2, which contains saints for every single day of July through December. It's available here or from Amazon.

This scene shows St. Lucian before his conversion, at the incident which triggered his repentance. You see, Lucian was a sorcerer, a devil-worshiping practitioner of Satanic magic. When he tried to cast a spell on a Christian maiden, she made the Sign of the Cross, and the black magic failed. Astounded by this, Lucian repented, converted, and was later martyred. Nowadays, with Satanism resurgent in our culture, we could really use St. Lucian's prayers. His day is October 26.

Volume 1, which has January-June, is available here.
