hey everyone, it's me again.

well, I'm home recovering from mah surgery, and since I've been sitting here, I was thinking "hey, I didn't actually show the readers on smackjeeves what ST's gonna look like from now on!" So here it is, a sample of what the new design shall be

no real major changes, I went with the new hat brim and the original no-nose style, with a new collar turned up, and a rounded chin etc.etc.

so uh...my head is pounding so uh...I don't know I'm gonna get off the computer now.

I'll update with more info and maybe more character design stuff when my sinus' aren't so congested D:

Comment on Nose Hat Test of Strawberry Tofu

Testing 2 new design ideas for ST's new comics, sitting here with two ideas in my head, I decided "why am I debating this? I'll never be able to decide on my own!" so I turn to you, faithful readers, which would you like to see?

the first part is the hat, Adam's hat started off with a brim that looked more like a hotdog bun (seen now in <a href="http://rustedtofu.smackjeeves.com">Rusted Tofu</a>, and later evolved into a kind of upturned piece of cardboard or something.

This new design makes it more real looking, with the slight curvature of my actual hat, keeping in mind my little Starman symbol would appear in the final version.

The other is the nose (seen on the right) this has always been a point of oddness for me, I've never quite decided on weither or not I should bother having it, some have voted for, some against, either way, I'll leave it up to the fans.

so it's your time to shine fans, I'd greatly appreciate it if you weighed in on this topic.

feel free to comment with ways I can improve, that's the whole point of this hiatus! :D

thanks in advance.

Alright, I know it's been a long time, and a few of you are probably wondering where I've been, some are concerned, most are angry, totally understandable for how often I've abandoned ST in the past with no explaination and only excuses.

This time, I was hitting depression, every time I looked at a piece of my own work I couldn't bare to claim it as my own, nothing I did was good, I wasn't anywhere near decent as an artist, and so I gave up art for a while, took some anatomy lessons at the studio, thought "maybe I can make my artwork better somehow", and slowly but surely, I've seen my outlook on my own work become a little more positive and a little less filled with hatred and disgust.

What does this mean? It means that ST's not over yet, I don't know how long it'll be before I get working on it fully again, but it won't be to long that much is for sure, I'll get a couple of comics done in advance and build up a queue before I start up the updates again, and once that happens I'll be able to update at a steady pace with less delay.

So yeah, ST's coming back, so don't give up on me just yet.

On another note in regards to another work of mine, my other comic hereby dubbed "Sigismund" until a proper title is arranged, has been stationed at: http://sigismund.smackjeeves.com

This comic is FAAAAAAR from being completed, and I won't be updating with actual comic pages for it until I've gotten a large sum of them finished and perfected. In the meantime, I'll be posting character pages, concept work, and many other pieces of the work process up on the page until I have the comic itself ready, so please be sure to stop over and check it out, the best way for a project to reach fruition is to have many opinions to help design reach it's potential, so opinions will be welcome at all times.

So, thank you for sticking around, thank you for reading, and I hope to see you all again when I bring back Strawberry Tofu!

Thank you all

Well this has been a long time coming, (no not a new ST ya smartarses XD)

I've been waiting to get the gamer's tourny arc up and running for a long LONG time, and now that it's finally started, expect the story to pick up rather quickly, it's gonna be a half-decent read from here on instead of a mediocre one, so stay tuned for next week, when Kyle jumps a shark!*

Drawing Snake was a real annoyance in this one, trying to do justice to one of the single greatest characters of all time
was really putting strain on me, especially since there was not only a debate as to whether it just plain looked right or not,
but wheither to add facial hair or not, and if he should be Old Snake or not D:

Glad that's over with...

[edit] holy crap we're at comic 30 already, that means that the story progression is already 10 pages long?!

I'm gonna double check that, it can't possibly have been that long already [/edit]
