What is this week of ends you speak of?

Okay, so for starters, let me clarify that I am no professional. A professional would have known that sometimes, even if you work full time, you can’t get everything done in one day. After working for over 10 hours straight, I didn’t even come close to finishing half of what I planned for my glourious 400th comic. I wasn’t planning on making this entire story arc in colour, but I wanted the intro to be in colour, because that’s the entire purpose of the fourth panel there.

When drawing this, I woke up, went to do some grocerie shopping and eat lunch, came home for a quick shower,and then spent the entire day working on the comic. This was a big comic. I’d have been pressed for time just doing it in my usual blue and white vision. Hell, I had to rush just to get those last panels shaded in blue at the very least. It wasn’t until I began colouring the big panel that I realized it just was not possible to do a full, in-colour, fully shaded, giant comic page like this one in just one day. Drawing comics like this requires full time work! It’s no wonder many webcomics have such poor schedules.

Speaking of schedules though, in the end, I had to get the bare minimum done. I needed some colour, and I barely squeezed it in with my poor paint job. Even though it would take at least another day to do everything I had planned, I could still sacrifice a few hours past midnight to take my time a little bit for that one panel, but I ended up going for a mediocre job done on time than being late for something that still wasn’t up to my expectations. I guess it’s easy to tell where my priorities are.

Either way, I’m definitely not trying this again anytime soon. Like I said, doing full comics requires full time, and seeing as I don’t even have a real job at the moment, I can’t even think about drawing comics full time. I can barely get by as it is! I’m just not cut out for the big leagues I guess, but I try dammit! This certainly isn’t the first time I screwed up a milestone comic, but 400 comics is still an accomplishment, so it’s something at least.

Here’s to another good run of comics, and hopefully ones where I learn my lessons the easy way. Wish me luck and remember to love your lolis folks.

Junk Approximation

So I’m thinking of cleaning up the site a bit, by which I mean getting rid of useless things I don’t use. One of them being this whole cocktail section. Of course, I haven’t decided anything yet, but I never really use this whole section, and when I do on occassion, it’s usually just to expand on something I already say in the comic blog. The Concentrate section could also use a bit of a cleanup, but again, I haven’t decided on anything.

This would all be easier if I had an actual community of fans instead of just a couple of buddies who read my stuff. Then I might have more options. For now, I’m just being bugged by the wasted space around here, which is really saying something when you consider this site has much less non-comic stuff than most webcomic sites. OCD counter indeed…

Just to check up on how many people read this, please put “muffin” in any comments and remember to love your lolis.

And Beyond

Alright, so I just finished another part of the big crazy story arc I keep slipping in and out of, and with that done for now, I’d like to say I plan to step up my game now. Yes, I know I always say that, but this time I mean it. While writing this “chapter” I basically planned out most every future chapter I have in mind for this, meaning I now have no excuse not to do more story arcs every once in a while. On top of this, get this, I got a Tumblr thingy now. I know every time I get these things just for getting more attention it never works, but this time I’ve actually been using it! So far I’ve gotten myself in the habit of drawing on a semi-daily basis, which is good for me, and maybe for you guys if you care about that, but it’s good for the comic because it helps me improve on a few skills…maybe.

So I no longer have excuses for being lazy. I have to shape up and live up to the expectations I forced myself into, so expect me to actually try with this year’s comics. I hope everyone enjoys more Fruit Incesty adventures and remembers to love their lolis.

In the Eyes of the Ranger

So I’m starting another part of this Folklorist/Four Overlords/Mob Maid story arc thingy, which aside from the Santa Sarah storyline, which pretty much ended three times by now, is the only continuous story arc in the FIniverse. The fun thing about this story arc is that I’m forced to upload them in order, so by the time I finally get around to doing one, I have the next three or so parts vaguely planned out in my head, so I can try out some slightly less lame plotlines and writing.

Still, I really should do these more often, since I keep putting story arc comics on hold whenever I get too lazy. I know nobody reads these, but if anyone stumbles upon this and feels like motivating me, then show your appreciation by giving me your crazy theories that probably have nothing to do with my story cause I’m not talented enough to make a story where you can predict what’s gonna happen next.

Who are the Four Overlords? Why does the Folklorist want to go after them? What’s with the Mob Maid stuff? How dare I kill the Companion Cube in the beginning of the story? Gimme your best shot and love your lolis while you’re at it!

Happy Happy Cookie Time

And so we end 2011 with something big. First with the good stuff. I’m still accepting random drawing requests on account of me being bored, and I’m ready to take my one week annual break for now. I’ll be back with comics in January, so look forward to that you loyal fans. All four of you.

Onto serious stuff, I know I’ve asked for help with more views before, but now I’m really starting to want some real audience points. After drawing literally every character I’ve come up with proper and having my third Christmas special, I really feel like I’ve gone beyond the point where I can settle for less than 40 views a day. Unfortunately most of you know how anti-social I am. Getting page views is hard work though.

Take ads as an example. From experience I’ve learned that most people don’t click on them unless you have random half naked women on them, and then there’s those who block ads altogether. The only way to have ads be profitable is if you put them all over the place, and in really popular sights, which could easily cost me $10 a day per site. Ads are expensive! Getting attention is expensive!

But none of this is new. I try to get my name out there, but I was never good at that. Seriously, any help out there? Anyone?

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the lingering Christmas and has a happy New Years. Fruit Incest will do it’s best, but no matter how desperate I get, there will always be more! Everyone love your incestuous fruits and lolis!

You Can’t Fire Me, I’m Santa!

With all the spare holidays out of the while it’s getting to be that time where fake commercial Christmas is replaced with genuine Christmas spirit, and I obviously have special plans for everyone. Our good friend Sarah is getting a bit of a break this year (or is she?*) and instead we’re gonna look at the many historical Santas of the past.

Of course, I absolutely knew my scanner wouldn’t like the format I chose for this month’s comics, so I have no idea if I’ll just have to bear with the crap quality or switch to slightly less crappy digital comics (which are more difficult now because I now have less tables to work on and my new bedsheets make my laptop overheat, making it difficult to find a decent workspace**) but we’ll see how it works out.

Everyone have a fun December cause I’ll be doing my best to do it right this year once more. Also, as a special treat I’m thinking of doing another random free-for-all sketch request bonanza like I did in October, so if you want me to draw anything (as long as it’s not stupid***) feel free to ask!

Everyone have a Happy Pants and enjoy the festive season, cause we’re going into loli-loving overdrive.

*Yes she is.
**I drew the last comic surrounded by bread crumbs…
***Oh who am I kidding, the stupider the better!

Well that was one anniversary we just had, and as promised, I drew those special requests from you lot, all four of you. There wasn’t much else going on, so I’ll just thank everyone for reading my mediocre comics and hope I’ll have better content for the third anniversary of meaningless pigeons.

Fruit Incest could always use more readers and more feedback, so feel free to welcome my lovely work into your idea holes and gimme your best shot. For now though it’s time to enjoy the niceties of November, and to make sure we be loving our lolis.

Cream Bun Anniversary

So, some of you might know that last year I celebrated the Fruit Incest anniversary with a month long Halloween special. There’s no way I can do that on a yearly basis, so this year I’ll stick to one anniversary comic. Still, I kind of set the standard pretty high for a badly drawn webcomic that can’t even get more than 40 individual views a day, so this year I’ll do something special for you dedicated fans who know when to check the Cocktail section. I’m not good enough for commissions, but I can still take requests, so this year I’ll draw anything requested in the comments for this post for the rest of the month, so go ahead! Give me more work! I’ll draw anything you’d like!

So that’s that. I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything more professional this year, but this isn’t so bad, right? Right? Well let’s all have a fun October and love our lolis.

Our Courage Must Pull Me Through

Well, our last chapter in the second Pokemon special is through. I know I’ve dug myself into a corner since I’ll basically have to do this every year now, but I couldn’t care less cause I love my Pokemon! For those who forgot or didn’t read earlier, I’ve uploaded all the FIth gen Pokemon onto DeviantART (Or did I?). Hope you enjoyed this year’s special, and our Pokemon lovelies should be back by next August.

And with that over, it’s back to our usual FI goodness. I don’t usually do this, but anyone reading this go ahead and tell me your favourite Fruit Incest characters, cause I can’t decide who to jump back into the FIniverse with right now. Plus, it would be nice to see who’s getting love and who needs more.

I hope everyone’s had fun and is ready for more fun, cause we need all the fun we get if we wanna love our lolis.

More Pokerespect For Me

by Miss Hedgey on August 3, 2011 at 10:39 PM

It’s been a year since I last drew a Pokemon special, so to celebrate, I’m doing not one, but TWO special things! First up is the comic you probably noticed by now. This time I’ll be using the actual Pokemon canon, but who knows, we might see our old FIth gen friends in the future. For now, enjoy the antics of what has become my favourite gym leader.

Second, and you guys better appreciate this. I’ve made up some Pokemon concentrate. Yep, you get a complete list of all the FIth gen Pokemon. Okay, maybe not complete. I didn’t include legendaries. That’s for the future. Plus, I’m free to add some if I ever want to for some bizarre reason. Unfortunately, I’m not going to add about 40 pieces of concentrate to my server at once. Especially since no one ever checks the Concentrate section. So this time I’m using a deviantART account I made just for this occassion. At the moment I have no more plans for that thing, but any deviants out there who wouldn’t mind seeing some non Fruit Incest related works just let me know and I’ll see what I can do.

I spent several hours total working on this over the past few months, and as I’m working on these current comics I also have a lot of other work to do, so you guys better appreciate. I’m trying desperately to get FI more well known, so if you haven’t told your friends yet, why haven’t you whore’d me out to them? Nag your friends, for it is the only way they will enjoy my muffiny goodness. I need you, and together we can bring success to the Fruit Incest lineage. Wont someone think of the lolis, and love them also.
