The Grim Bunny 12

The Grim Bunny #12! As we reach the end of this series of 12, TGB looks off into the distance, the sky an open canvas, all set for… another series of 12? Maybe! Thanks for those who have followed for these 12 pics (plus a few extras included below), and keep evangelizing for TGB if you want to see more in the future! I may try pursuing a stronger narrative arc next time (assuming I have time for a next time… fingers crossed). For now, in addition to needing to focus on my translation, I’d like to be able to do some non-TGB blog posts, put together some TGB merchandise, and do all sorts of other things.

But don’t despair! You can always visit the Grim Bunny archives at DeviantArt or here on WordPress! Also, feel free to follow me on tumblr, and please consider supporting my creative work by visiting my store either on DeviantArt or Redbubble! TGB merch will one day be available at both–hopefully one or two things relatively soon.

And here are a few more sketches, just for fun!

The Grim Bunny 11

TGB # 11 is here! For the delight and exercise of your imagination. Next time there will hopefully be a bonus pic or two as well–meant to post them today, but the photos didn’t turn out. 😦

Because work is crazy for me right now, and because I’d like to find some time to turn some of these pics into cards, stickers, t-shirts, and other stuff, I think I’m going to have TGB run in series of 12–so next week will be the last of this series, but hopefully (especially if you SHARE WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND MAKE THEM FANS) I will be back to continue with another series of 12. Plus, I should really be putting up more Viking-related blog posts on this site…

TGB archives are here and here! Original tumblr post for this entry is here!

The Grim Bunny 10

The Grim Bunny # 10! Our first human (?) structure in the series! Though I messed up one of the beams, so I apologize if it’s a bit difficult to recognize it as a high-peaked ceiling from the inside… Anyway, here TGB comes, crashing through the skylight, and… what is that silhouette on the other side of the window…?

Wish I had time to yammer on a bit more, but, as with today’s illustration, I am super rushed and need to get back to my translation work! SO, check out  the original tumblr post here, and the archives here and here, and have a good day!

(and yes, I will try to get some merch made for the series one of these days–so far I believe #s 5, 6,  and 7 have been noted as candidates for something like that, so I will see what I can do…)

The Grim Bunny 9

The Grim Bunny 9! We’re on a roll I guess. What’s after TGB this time? Or are we even maybe a bit confused about who is after whom? Let me know! Or keep your speculations to yourself, just be sure to LIKE and SHARE with all your friends and enemies and everyone in between!

I got a bit frustrated with this one, I guess because the concept I had was a bit ambitious–I am not sure it came out as legible as I’d like, but since this is more of a “sketch blog” caliber webcomic than a “super duper professional” webcomic I decided to work on it a bit with some white water color, and then cleaned things up a tiny bit in photoshop. You can see the watercolor work a bit more clearly in the second image.

Original tumblr post is here, and the archives are here and wordpress and here on deviantart! Be sure to check out my Redbubble store as well, and let me know if you have a special favorite of TGB’s pics that you would like turned into a print, tshirt, or whatever!

The Grim Bunny 8

The Grim Bunny #8 is here! Um… what’s up doc? OK, never mind. What is happening now!?!?! Another precarious position for TGB! Redwoods this time, because 8 is my favorite number and redwoods are my favorite tree….but OK, I didn’t quite get the redwood-effect I wanted, and yeah, took the photo REALLY late tonight (couldn’t get to this till after dark), so it is super grainy–but I will try to replace it with a better photo eventually. Gotta run now, because THINGS ARE TOO BUSY, but check out TGB archives here and here, and the tumblr post here! TGB merchandise will follow one day… but not yet, because I’ve got too much to do. 😦

The Grim Bunny 7

The Grim Bunny #7! Still enjoying this, so I hope you are too! Like and share (especially share!), and if you feel especially caught up in TGB’s adventures, you tell me your version of TGB’s story! All ages welcome! (so keep it clean…)

I’m hoping to eventually turn one or two of my favorite pics into prints/clothes/etc at my Redbubble store (or maybe through etsy or something like that eventually)–there has been a tiny bit of murmury approval about that from my friends, but I want to have a bit more of an audience before I give that a try, so SHARE SHARE SHARE! Well, plus I’m pretty busy with this translation job at the moment (which is why most of my blog posts have been short and shallow like this), so it may just have to wait till I have time to convert the photos into something a bit sharper and printable (meanwhile, buy my Viking Valentine cards!)

I’ve also got TGB up on my sketch blog, as well as my archive here and my archive at DA! No need to “read” TGB in order, but you can if you want!

The Grim Bunny 6

Uh oh! What has our hero/heroine/? gotten into now? OK, I originally did this sketch really super quick without thinking it through much, and the end result maybe was not as “readable” as I would like–but since this is kind of an informal sketch webcomic, I thought I’d keep it. I did try doing an ink wash to highlight things a bit more. Please share, like, etc! And if you’d like to participate more, great! Just tell me in the comments what you think is going on! Who is the Grim Bunny? What is TGB doing? What is the larger story arc? Or if you want to wait till I have more pics up so you can try to figure out how/whether they go together, that’s fine too! Just enjoy it!

Original tumblr post is here, and you can find archives of TGB here on this blog and here on deviantart.

The Grim Bunny 5

Fifth picture! My favorite so far. I am going to need to start making new sketches soon. The rules remain the same: Tell me who TGB is, what the story is for this picture, even how the pics relate to each other, if you want. But if you don’t care who TGB is, whether TGB is he/she/?, hero/villain, pursued/pursuer, etc, but just enjoy the pics, then be sure to like/share/evangelize! The tumblr version is here, and I also appreciate getting hits on deviantart.

Also, I realize bunnies have dominated this blog lately. Sorry, haven’t had time for anything besides these super quick posts. Right now I’m mostly wearing out my neck/shoulders/back/hands/eyes/brain translating this book on the theology of the body. Fascinating stuff, and I hope to put together a blog post related to it at some point, but for now it’s not leaving much time or energy for other stuff. Will try to carve out a moment for something more in the near future though.

The Grim Bunny 4

The Grim Bunny on the run! You know the game–what is TGB up to? Who IS TGB? Villain, hero, antihero, victim? Male, female, otherwise? Is it morning or evening, or are there just really strong spotlights off beyond the upper right corner? Participate if you’d like, otherwise sit back and enjoy the show! It was fun drawing things from this perspective–not sure I’ve ever done that before. I hope it turned out alright!

Remember, you can also follow the adventures of TGB on my tumblr and deviantart!

I know, it’s been a while since I’ve had a viking or book related post–will hopefully remedy that soon, but lately I’ve been swamped with this translation project that I’m doing (I need to finish the first two chapters–90 pages–before I get my first pay check). That said… it’s pretty fun work! When I’m not stuck on a super obscure philosophical term.

The Grim Bunny 3

Just a quick addition to my Grim Bunny Series–check it out on tumblr or deviantart as well, or just check it out here, and tell me what you you can imagine about TGB! This entry is a bit sloppy, so you may notice some bits I cleaned up in photoshop… apologies to the purists. Pics 1 & 2 are here.

And I’m super sick right now, so I’m going to leave it at that and sign off. Will try to get to some other non-bunny blog posts in the near future as well, but my translation job is slowly getting into high gear now, and don’t have too much time apart from it (when I am well enough to do the work, anyway…)
