Loose Crickets
Having a reptile and a cat for pets, you can imagine I don't get a lot of snuggles. But I do get to come home every day and feed and clean up after these guys for free. At least they don't talk back, I guess.
In non-comic news, I have a lot of new art up at the website, please go have a look: zombietoes.com. There is also a coupon code up in my etsy shop- use the code 15TOES at checkout to save 15% on your order :) etsy shop is here: zombietoes.etsy.com. Also, a brand new mermaid painting, see her on the website homepage :)))))

Warm Clown
Dressing up as a fancy version of myself. Mostly because I want to wear my favorite PJ bottoms out of the house for once, partially because some people are naturally afraid of clowns (that's just a happy bonus) and I am kind of feeling like a passive aggressive jerkhole these days. And all I really have to do is paint my face. Easy.
Have a Happy and Saaaaaafe fucking Halloween y'alls.
xo!

At Least You Don't Have...
Seems to me that there are a batch or two of shit sandwiches circulating in the cafeteria of the universe lately. Sometimes, these works of fecalary delight can be avoided. Other times, you gotta just take your helping. Either way...there is always a bright side. Even if you really REALLY have to stretch to find it. It helps to be flexible.
On another note...Umm, FUCKING EBOLA, people. I told you so. I told you so. (In most cases where I pull out the "I-told-you-so" card, it does not feel as good as I always picture it to. This is one of those cases. Still, I am laughing).

PS- New scavenger hunt, new-ish arts, more on the way, uhhh, link: zombietoes.com

Nature's Prank Call
This scenario pretty much made my whole week.
In other news, working on some paintings, and some commission stuff. Plotting and scheming. Being all vague and junk. Hopefully, some new art to show you very soon.

You know I love it when you visit my website ;) zombietoes.com

This One's on Me
So, this is me slacking off again. I just drew this a half hour ago in my sketchbook. Lacking the ambition to color it in. Sometimes, it's a hell of a lot more work to color these things digitally. But...this is kind of what they look like before I clean them up. A present for you- behind the scenes. Haha. Ain't I swell?
In other news, I have acquired the domain name zombietoes, and am working on an official website for this comic and all my cartoon art and stuff. Also, slowly working on a zombietoes zazzle shop for prints and products of my illustrations and paintings. :D And other things. Lots of other things.
I have to go eat something cold. Okay, ice cream. I have to go eat ice cream now.
xo!
Em
And don't forget about the etsy shop, it's got a bunch of new photos with a fun new background! And reduced prices on some things! Yaaay! zombietoes.etsy.com

Where's Bill?
Bill is an Anole from the south. He lives in my kitchen, and I'm 68% sure he hates me. Anoles are cool, they change color when they are upset or camouflaging themselves. Here's a link to the Wiki page for them:

Dirty Truth
Caution- LANGUAGE. More than usual. If you've tolerated me thus far in my comic world, probably no big deal. If you are new to this Dorkling thing, well....yeah. I'm not apologizing.
Any issues that I cannot work through with a good, hearty string of cuss words can pretty much be shooed off with an 80's dance party. And by dance party, I mean just me and sometimes the cat...but he usually wants to leave about 2 songs in.
Oh, yes! I have been completely immersed in commission work lately, but I did manage to doodle up this strange forest place...and a bunch of weird-o creatures who may or may not be lost...It's titled "Dragon Bird Thing" (because my title finesse has left me high and dry)- an ACEO (2.5" x 3.5") original illustration, up on eBay at the link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321379927835

Truly sucking at my shop makeover, but in my head it is FABULOUS, haha...zombietoes.etsy.com

Like a Mule
I am stubborn, like a mule. I am slow, like a mule. Sometimes, when I get to laughing really hard, I can even sound like...a mule. Yup. Sexy. If I like something, I'll kick it. If I don't like something, I'll kick it twice. If I'm angry, tired, excited, happy, nervous, nauseous, etc...I kick things. It's just my way.
Shop makeover is still in the behind-the-scenes phase. It is possible that I am slightly avoiding this task by working on other projects. It is possible that I use the word "possible" when I really mean "probable."
xo!

Even though it's not all pretty like I promise it will be someday, it is still functional, and very much open for browsing and purchasing: zombietoes.etsy.com

Pity Socks
A moment from last summer, when my friend and fellow cartoonist Luke Foster came to visit...I was the very last stop on his cross country journey, before he headed back home :)
Socks with holes suck. Pity sucks. Pity sex, also kinda sucks. I'm a girl, I can say that. I've also been on both the giving and receiving end of said encounters, and it sucks. Both sides. So, now I'm a nun. (I'm not really a nun, they wouldn't let me into the convent :/)
It is fortuitous that I would have a comic about Luke, because he's got a Kickstarter campaign up RIGHT NOW for the Drawn Away Comic Travelogue- his cartoon-illustrated, informative, and true book of the trip he took across America!
Do consider lending your support, we need more comics in the world. Listen to the words that are coming out of your screen. Go HERE: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2136850626/drawn-away-a-cartoonist-tours-america-a-comic-trav
In other "news", I am working on somehow frankenstine-ing my zombietoes etsy shop into the Dorkling cartoon brand. This means nothing to you, I know. Basically, it's a lot of brainstorming and design work and thinking and reorganizing of products and whatnot...none of which can be seen or appreciated at the moment. So, forgive the recent lack of new, fun art in my shop, and I swear that one day I will be cool again.
xo!

Door Face
Gotta watch where you're going, ESPECIALLY if you are rushing around.
Speaking of not paying attention, I can see now that I have neglected to fully color in one of my frames here. And I'm gonna just leave it as is, because it's serendipitous, or some crap.
In other news, I have a new fox painting up for auction on eBay:
"Two Beggars" original fox painting
I'd tell you what else I am up to, but it is not ready to be discussed yet. That's my annoying way of saying that I am not up to nothing...in fact, I am probably up to no good. But at least it's something, huh?
xo!

Degrees of Seperation
It's STILL winter...
In high school I had spacers, a palate expander, and then braces, with a few oral surgeries speckled in there for good measure. I am sure I am not the only one. I am also sure that the four+ years I endured those particular torments has forever solidified my preference for comfort over fashion and beauty. Besides, I don't care what I look like, and I find it humorous that someone else would care what I look like. Don't get me wrong, I have limits. I don't own Crocks or Uggs of any variety.

Man Hands
So...yeaaaaah...I have picked up a part time job at a local video rental store...and that means Customer Service, which I really am just no good at...But it's good practice in maintaining my "social" side.
This is pretty much my "Happy Valentine's Day" to you all. Please don't get all creative with your compliments, a simple, classic "You look nice today" will suffice. Why make things more painful and awkward than they already are?
xo!

Hey I know some of you have filed your taxes, so you should spend some of your returns on the solid investment of cartoons: zombietoes.etsy.com

TantrEm
Hellllllllooo. I kind of disappeared again. Here's a picture that will kind of explain where I'm at:
I've decided to relieve myself from the unnecessary and ridiculous pressures of creating art that I no longer feel a connection with. In other words, I'm retiring my Darkling Treasures art style.
I had this whole long explanation all written down, but you know what? I don't owe anyone a gosh-derned explanation. It's not even that, really. Hell, if you want one, here it is at its base form- I can do whatever I want, and I am going to. And what I want to do is draw silly cartoons and write stupid comics and make people laugh. I am going to make art that just comes out of my hands and my head, art that feels less like I am dreaming my life away and more like I am playing.
It's not that I'm dumping on my fantasy art, or anyone else's fantasy art, or the genre (which is VAST and encompassing). I'm simply not feeling it anymore. I've struggled with the notion of putting my fairies and mermaids and sexy naked ladies and dragons away for a long time. And the reality is that I don't necessarily have to put them away. I can just cartoonize them. It's a matter of style, and my endgame is focus. I cannot have two competing styles anymore, it's dumb. (At this point in the post, I am just ranting to rant, so I will move on...)
I have lots of art, it will still be for sale, my shops will remain open, but eventually will be moved/rebranded/closed/etc. There will be MORE cartoon art, more comics, more crazy ranting (of a slightly more inappropriate nature, I am sure) and more cool stuff. If you have questions or whatever, just email me. Ummmm....I guess that's it for meow, I'm gonna go brainstorm some cool stuff.
xo!
