Penny here comes from a Chinese franchise designed to duplicate the success of the KUNG FU PANDA movies, which actually managed to grow into a fair-sized product on par with same.

My client wanted a nude, but he compromised with this idea. It was the day after I turned it in that I decided to begin offering nude renderings. In fairness to him, the existing image was edited into a nude to go along with this one. I plan to post that one in a few minutes.

And I think I should take a moment to explain my recent (hypocritical) business move to begin offering nudity in my work. I got some notes expressing concern about my health. Let me assure you I'm alright, I just need some increase in cash-flow with a reduction in actual work-load. My brother left his job when he was practically promised a better job which he didn't get, and Pop retired with the understanding that he'd make more with his social security checks than he did with the shop -which turned out not to be the case. Things have been really tight, and I've been carrying the slack. I've been considering it since voting day, when going home from the polls I spent nearly seventy dollars for fifteen dollars worth of groceries. It's an economic issue, not a health one.

You'd think such work would come easier, since every drawing begins with a nude form anyway, but I haven't yet been able to settle into it. My particular brand of cheesecake was finally established, and now... Yeah, I feel like a big fat hypocrite because that's exactly what I am! I enjoy the sight of nudity as much as the next man, but trafficking in it after all it took to establish my brand... All I can say is, the jobs better come through!
