This was yet another page of the comic that featured a few cameo slots. There weren’t as many this time as the previous crowd shot, but several of the panels still had spaces available for people to throw in their creations. I managed to get about halfway through the page this time, though I wasn’t able to get it done in time for the following Monday update due to health problems over the weekend.
I’ll be finishing it this week, so stay tuned for those shows (listed in the schedule on the right). Hit the jump to view the recording on Youtube.

inally I get a good recording of the inking of a page. The last time I tried to record the inking phase (for page 174), Livestream corrupted the recorded video and I couldn’t transfer it over to Youtube. Goofy.
So yes, here is the Inking Room recording for this Saturday evening. Because there was so much detail in the 22 characters (yes, 22… I had originally counted 24, but somehow I had miscounted), I wasn’t able to get QUITE through the full page in the two hours. The rest of it I had to finish on my own time.

The title of this post is part 2 of the cameo page, but it’s listed as part three on Youtube because the previous night was split into two videos. Long story short, this page took a WHILE to finish.
So tonight I focused completely on just cranking through the remaining cameos, and managed to completely fill the last few spots. I originally had listed the final head count at 24 other characters, but there are actually 22. Somehow I had miscounted, but it still beats the old record of 20 characters that I had reached with the Whitney’s Birthday Party pages.
Altogether, it was a ton of fun. Now onto the inking! Hit the jump to watch the recording.

Tonight was the first of two nights dedicated to free character cameos in this page of Peter & Company. I advertised this one a bit more heavily than I had for the previous cameo pages (like Whitney’s birthday party), so it had a really awesome turnout. Unfortunately we hit some technical difficulties on the stream, which caused my laptop to go blue-screen halfway through and cut off the recording. As such, it’s uploaded in two parts to Youtube, both of which are embedded below the jump for viewing.
Also, because of the technical hiccups, I was only able to get halfway through the cameo slots that I had allotted for the page. So I decided to add an additional show to this week’s schedule in order to finish out the rest! The final show will be on Thursday, February 9th. Hopefully this will give folks a chance to get their characters in who were unable to attend last night. 
Hit the jump to watch the videos, as always.

Tonight’s episode of the Inking Room focused entirely on drawing the pencils for the next Peter & Company page. I got through about 2/3 of the pencils in the course of two hours, and will finish the rest on my own time before the inking of the page on the next show.
This page also is the latest to feature guest appearances from other artists’ characters. I put out a call in a few online galleries for this purpose; if someone had a character they would like to have a free cameo appearance in a P&C page, they just have to show up to the stream and put a link to their character model sheet in the chat for me to see. I did this previously with the pages for Whitney’s birthday party (and managed to fit over 20 characters into a single panel, which was CRAZY). The page following this features a massive crowd scene, so I’m hoping to get at least somewhat close to that old record.
For about half the time in the video, Whitney is playing Soul Calibur V in the background. Awesome game.

After a couple weeks of forgetting to hit the “Record” button on the video feed, we’re back!
Tonight’s show centered around the next Peter & Company page (#159) where everything goes terribly wrong for Whitney at her party, and likewise for Peter as well. This whole series of pages has featured cameo appearances of other artists’ characters. I’m really enjoying filling in the crowds with actual pre-existing characters instead of simple cookie-cutter generic designs.
The video’s after the jump, as usual.

Tonight’s show was pretty interesting.
For this week’s page of Peter & Company, I wanted to have a huge crowd of kids at Whitney’s 13th birthday party, with her surrounded by a group of guys all fawning over her. I really didn’t want to just use general cookie-cutter characters, though, so I thought it would be a cool idea to include the original characters of some of the other artists/fans who follow the comic on FurAffinity. I put out an open invitation in a journal detailing the plan, and when the time came to draw the page, I turned on the feed and let people throw down the reference images for their characters.
The end result was a new record for myself — 20 characters in a single panel — with each one (not counting Peter and Whitney) being an OC from someone on FurAffinity. It’s like an awesome FA version of “Where’s Waldo.”

Strangely enough, in the last show I was completely unable to come up with the dialogue for the last two panels in this page of P&C. The first few moments of this show was spent finally nailing that down and finishing the sketches of the page. The rest was dedicated to inking. Towards the end of this video I attempted to hook up the keyboard to play for a few minutes after getting the inking done, but the cables had become lost during the renovations to the room. Even after finding them and getting it hooked up, the Livestream site decided to cut out and prevent me from recording the broadcast any further. I guess that was the site’s way of telling me to call it a night, hehe.

After several months of renovations and gradual repainting efforts, the work room is finally assembled once again. Now that the drawing tables are clear and the Macs back up and running, productivity levels should shoot back up and the show will resume a regular broadcast schedule once again. Awesome!
To celebrate, tonight’s show was dedicated entirely to producing the pencils for the next page of Peter & Company.

So after taking a bit of an extended break during the process of renovating the house, Whitney and I have returned to hosting duties on the show in order to get back into the habit of producing artwork on a regular basis. Tonight’s show ran for the usual length of time and got about halfway through the new page of pencils for this coming week’s Peter & Company update.
Scheduled shows will be a bit less than usual (probably two per week instead of three), since the renovations are still going on. We’ve actually had to set up a temporary art space in the dining room since the work room is a massive jumbled mess right now. The renovations include painting every room, removing old wallpaper, and the installation of a completely new bathroom (which is currently in the early phases), so it will be some time before we can get our old art space back up to full speed again. This will just have to do until then.
