Patreon Mini Pin Up: Parker Valentine (Patreon)

So what happens when you make a strip, consider it finished, then work on other projects for the rest of the day, and only at the eleventh hour realize the strip that seemed fine hours ago is in fact so lame you'd be embarrassed to post it on the internet? And you can't think of any other ideas? And also you can't delay it a day without falling behind schedule for the whole week? Asking for a friend. 

The strip I spent several fruitless hours staring at trying to come up with entertaining dialog for involved Parker dressing up as Jill Valentine for Halloween. Once I finally had to admit there was no salvaging the concept within the time I had available, I thought I could at least make a mini pin up based on the costume so I'd have something to show for today.

So what did I learn? I learned that waking up on Monday with no idea what the strip will be and just figuring something out before the deadline is no longer a viable workflow. From now on, I start the strips on Sunday.  In the meantime, I hope you like how Parker turned out!
