Only thing I saw missing. Not sure if I'm going to finish it or not.

>Liz calling Kate.
>"Hey, Lucy and Alex invited me over to their place so I won't be ho-... No, it's not that... Wait... I didn't think we had plans...Okay, hold on."
>Liz covers the receiver and looks to her friends. >"She's wondering why we didn't invite her over."
>"Oh, it's not like we don't like hanging out with her. It's just kind of a small apartment."
>Liz gets back on the phone.
>"They said you could come over, but it's kind of cr-... wait. Really?..."
>"She wants to know if you want to come over to our house."
>"I dun-"
>"She's going to buy some beer and pizza."
>"On our way!"
>Liz gets back on the phone.
>"Yeah, we'll be right over... No... We aren't calling it a slumber party.... Because nobody calls them that... FINE!"
>Liz sighs and hangs up.
>You'll have to get pajamas because she insists on making it a slumber party.
>Alex gets all wide eyes as Lucy looks confused.
>"You all have pjs still?"

>"I can't believe you girls were so easily swayed by beer and pizza."
>"well they aren't 21, mom. Not that hard to do."
>Liz goes to a knock at the door. It's Lucy and Alex.
>Alex is wearing a cute teddy
>Lucy is just wearing panties and a mid drif revealing tank top.
>"Get in here! I can't believe you'd stand out in public like that."
>Alex plays innocent
>"but you said we had to wear our pjs."
>"I meant, you could change here... And what are you wearing, Lucy?"
>"Be thankful I still had some panties. I don't actually have Sleeping clothes."
>Kate yells from the kitchen
>"Stop being mean to them. Alex is too cute to be mad at."

>>170656
>All four are sleeping in the living room, Kate sleeping on the sofa.
>Liz looks over at them in the middle of the night
>She sees Lucy pinning Alex's wrists to the ground as she gently kisses his neck.
>Alex whimpers and quakes underneath her.
>Liz throws a pillow at them
>'Jesus, you two.'
>She rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.
>Kate speaks up from above the girls.
>'You girls better not get cum in my carpet, so Lucy you'd better swallow.'
>Liz clamps her hands over her ears.
>'Arrrgh!'

I wonder if this project will eventually end up on the /co/ wiki.

>>170689
If the project makes enough headway I guess it's a possibility.

I feel a bit burnt out on it from writing green text for like 8 days straight. Junkie is supposed to be posting the first two pages Friday. The only question was how lewd the thing was going to be.

>>170694
There were already dicks in the WIPs.

And I was under the impression that it was going to be full on tits and dicks since there was no point in scaling it back as there would always be at least one vocal anon against it regardless.

>>170697
I can't remember what Junkie's final word on it was. He was hesitant to have it with actual nsfw scenes in case it backfired or something.

>>170699
He felt it was very American.

http://archive.moe/co/thread/66080081/#66111605

>>170701
You didn't click on the strawpoll link.

One of the options was asking if we wanted to tone it down to PG-13, the answer was go all the way or bust since if we are going to get bitched at either way, might as well GO all the way with the content.

>>170703
Look at the post numbers. This was his opinion after the straw poll. This was him talking about the content of the comic not about if he would post it on /co, which is what the strawpoll ultimately was about.
He didn't want to go full porn in case it caused problems with his other projects.

I think Junkie's final word was that downstairs equipment was gonna get censored by suspiciously well placed items, table legs, trays, etc. Not what I would have chosen to do, but hey, he's the one drawing it, it's up to him.

New /co/ thread today, right?

Junkie said he'd start it and post the first two pages.

>>170924
Good lord, that ass on Liz. Looking good Junkie.

>>170926
Supposed to be Lucy. I was worried about this happening.

Should I go back to the under-cut? It got some complaints, but it was more distinct.

>>170936
Nah, that's my fuck up, I think she's fine as she is. I'm sure it'll be more obvious once it's finished, as well.

>>170924
If that's Lucy's butt I can't wait to see Karen.

Oh sweet fancy Moses, you're coloring it? I love you! Do you want my 1200 PPI original scan TIFF file to work from?

>>170996
Let me try my hand at this page first. I've never done coloring before and kind of learning just to do this.

>>170997
Okay. You do your thing. I'm really happy you're tackling this. I'm some sort of chimpout retard when it comes to actually coloring things.

One thing though. For the outfits, I'd had my heart set on a Robin's Breast Red blouse/skirt, with Mint Ice-Cream Green apron, as opposed to the simpler French Maid black-and-white. What I'd used as part of the basis for the outfit was 1950's American carhop uniforms, and they all featured vibrant pastel colors.

>>171002
Damn, that looks great. Just two minor things, firstly, I think you forgot Kate's eyebrows. Secondly, the sides of her uniform aren't supposed to be material, I don't think, it's supposed to expose side boob.

>>170995
Yeah, maybe if you're one of those "Having opinions that differ from mine" weirdos.

>>171011
Shizune is best girl and if you don't agree I will fight you.

>>171015
For a moment I thought you were talking about Sheena from Tales of Symphonia, and I was blown away by your good taste.

>>171038
I don't know if I'm the only one, but plus4chan is kinda going nuts for me at the moment, part of which being that I can't see your picture. If you could toss it up on Imgur for me that'd be beautiful.

>>171039
http://imgur.com/Cc11iuK

>>171040
Thank you. Looks pretty good so far.

>>171045
Just awesome. Now I'm hesitant to try and shoehorn the dialogue in there; I don't want to cut into your work with wordswordswordswords.

Go ahead. There is a reason why I didn't bother too much with the back ground.
It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Let me know if you need anything else colored. I could use the practice.

>>171057
I've been called in to cover shifts twice this week, so I'll have to pull an all-nighter to get the stuff ready for Friday's thread. I'm planning to finish inking Page 3 by Thursday afternoon. Can you hold on til then?

I got nothing but free time till then. I could try my hand at inking as well if you want to cut down on your work load.

I still got a couple panels to pencil first. I'll get you a scan of the pencils tomorrow night.

>>171078
Works for me. I'll post the results of the inking before I try to color it to get your stamp of approval.

try using painttool sai, its easier to make smoother pen lines than with photoshop

>>171109
Oh god, adorable, embarrassed Alex. My one weakness!

>>171128
Gotta tell you, I much prefer Junkie's hand inking. No offense.

Can I get someone else to do today's OP once I post page 3 here?

I can't into brevity.

>>171148
Any chance of the second page being finished tonight? 'Cause if so I'll wait until we have an inked and lettered copy of that before I make the thread on /co/.

>>171150
I've got a couple hours left before work, so I'll try and get it ready.

How's is #4 coming along?

I'm sorry to report that I won't be doing more pages anytime soon.

Chiefly because I've landed a new day job. The good news is I can catch up on my overdue bills and keep paying for my apartment. The bad news is that, for the foreseeable future, I have a 70-80 hour work week.

Secondarily, at the behest of some certain people, I'm getting back on track trying to get my webcomic put together over the next couple months, so I've decided I'll be putting whatever drawing time and practice I can into that.

Sorry to disappoint you guys. I'm sure you're all enterprising enough to secure a better artist soon anyway.

>>171370
Aw, that sucks.
Were you plannin on making money off this?
That might attract some artists.

>>171372
Money is something that could come up as an eventuality, but I'm not really seeing it as an immediate goal I could've reached for.

I do get paid fairly well for making logbooks and banner stands, it's just tedious, monotonous doldrum for 10 hours a day, plus sketching and brainstorming off shift.

>>171957
Thanks. I was the one that linked the page in the QC thread. We don't have anything else really aside from the Google docs and a shit load of green text you're free to use as you want.

>>171957
There's a couple of pictures in the imgur about character designs. A picture of Karen's hairstyle, and a couple of other things, I think. Might want to take a look if you haven't already. Fantastic sketching though mate, Alex and Mary are cute as hell.

>>171957
Saw your tumblr, you got pretty good stuff there.

>>172042
>>172041

I love it!

>172042
>172041
Wonderful!

>>172041
Maybe a little skinny for Karen? And the smirk looks more like Kate than Karen. Still, nice to finally have some Karen art.

>>172042
I can already tell Alex is gonna look adorable as hell when this is finished.

>172065
>172064
Wonderful work! I can't wait to see it finished.

>>172064
Huh. That hair is accidentally pretty close to Karen's. Humorous coincidence.

>>172065
It's rather remarkable that this is happening.

Looking forward to seeing it finished.

>>172097
>>172096
Wonderful work again! Glad you're having fun with the material.

>>172096
A page a week would be more than fantastic, happy to hear you're enjoying yourself.

>>172105
It's very fitting and very nice. I love it.
Though if you moved the dots in on the apostrophe it'd look like tits, which I thought it's what you were going for.

>>172105
Thanks man, that's great! You really nicely touched up the other one.

>>172096
If you're enjoying it, then by all means.
And you don't have any obligation to keep doing them if you ever stop enjoying them, or force yourself to do them if you don't feel like it.


>>172109
Also, Alex is a trap, right?

Are those fake boobs?

>>172112
>Also, Alex is a trap, right?
wow douchebag.

>>172113
Really?
I see a character who has been established to be a trap, not a transvestite, a trap, as in a girly looking male in women's clothes, with boobs.

I gotta ask to know if it's padding or an oversight, because if it's an oversight then I'd rather say it now than later.

>>172115
>I see a character who has been established to be a trap, not a transvestite, a trap
>as in a girly looking male in women's clothes, with boobs.
doooooouuuuchebaaaaaaaaaaag

>>172115
Oh, I gave Alex padding.

>>172117
K, that's all I wanted to know.

>>172117
>Alex and Lucy are horsing around in the changing room while Karen is getting ready to start her shift.
>Lucy accidentally pulls on Alex's shirt, causing it to open and the stuffing to fall out.
>Karen just looks at the two.
>Alex, blushing and stuttering as she pulls her shirt closed.
>Alex: "I-uh, I can explain!"
>Karen: "It's okay, dear! We all stuff at some point. You're just haven't finished growing yet."
>Karen walks out to the floor while Lucy is laughing her ass off, Alex is almost hyperventilating on the ground.

>>172152
I love you

>>172152
G-good lord. You done good, RF.

>>172152
Absolutely fantastic. Just one small detail to point out, you forgot her wedding ring.

>>172156
Ah, yes! Thanks. I'll remember to keep it in next time!

>>172163
Thanks, it's wonderful as usual. We really appreciate the effort you're putting into this. There's plenty of green text that's free to use however you want.

>>172163
Well it's certainly best for US.

>>172183
Yknow, this art style reminds me of a webcomic
But I can't for the life of me remember which.

>172183
Liz will always be my favorite.

>>172192
>>172191
You picked my other greentext to use! I feel so honored.
Mary is coming out perfectly

>>172191
>>172192
Looking good!

>>172203
Great work again. I'm really liking this Mary and Liz.

>>172203
Damn, that chest on Liz. If that's athletic, then Karen's gonna be... wow.

>>172214
That expression on Morgan is perfect

>>172215
This. Got a great look of disdain. Heather's a bit too scowly for me though.

>>172216
Heather was supposed to be very stern and business oriented

>>172217
I thought it was more serious than stern. But either works, really.

>>172214
Heather's hairstyle is exactly what I imagined since I always pictured her as that smoking waitress from Dexter's Lab.

I made this so there's a nice archive and stuff. Might be a bit threadbare but I don't know crap about design' webpages and stuff. Still, comic fury is cool.

http://handyjays.the-comic.org/

>>172229
Its pretty easy to set up a tumblr blog with a webcomic-specific layout.
They're good looking too.
Maybe its worth looking into? I'd totally give the comic a follow.

>>172230
Made a tumblr for peeps to follow. I'm still sticking to the once-a-week thing. I'm planning to update Friday's.

http://handyjaycomic.tumblr.com/

I honestly wanna do some "fan" art for this. Any suggestions?

>>172233
Karen getting groped by Morgan and looking embarrassed.

>>172233
How about something with them after hours?

>>172305
Anything specific in mind?

>>172306
What about just Liz, Alex, and Lucy eating in the mall food court and arguing over the food.

>>172306
Movie night, hot tubing, things that risk Alex being discovered, that kind of stuff.

Depends if you want to draw lewd or not.

Honestly, I think I'll just go with a pinup of a couple of the girls in uniform.
Yknow, the story is in the diner... All that jazz. I'll show you guys what I did!

And keep up the good work!
:D

>>172312
Sounds good to me. Looking forward to seeing it.

>>172232
I am awaiting the first update with anticipation.

>>172520
Nicely done RF.

Sweet work RF.

>>172535
Man, Karen already looks nervous as hell.

Love the new lay out for the comic fury page.
The sketches look really promising too.

>>172587
Loving Lucy's look. You might want to make her barbell piercings noticeable through her top, since she doesn't wear underwear.

>>172618
Worrying Heather is pretty rare. And cute.

>>172786
Nice.

And now there's a wiki page
http://the-conservatory.wikia.com/wiki/Handy_Jay%27s

>>172791
Damn, dat Ca-

>>172792
DAMN, dat adorable Puppy. Good fucking show, RF.

>>172932
Karen still has sideboob due to her enormous chest. You're a genius, RF.

>>172214
I'm way behind on this.
I like Heather.

>>172943
Heather is pretty cool. We could definitely use more material with her though.

>>173092
The font is bigger, yeah? Seems easier to read, which is nothing but good.

>>173092
>We're taking the next table together.
I like where this is going.

I normally have a willing suspension of disbelief when it comes to porn, but goddamn is this comic's concept ridiculous.

>>173162
You say that as though ridiculousness is inherently bad.

>>173226
I think "Grumpy background guy" is my new favorite character.

>>173262
Oh hey, you used that thing I typed up for the wiki.

Also, nice start on the first of the increasingly more lewd parts.

>>173263
It's such a good write up! I hope you don't mind. Also thanks. Femdom is fun to draw.

>>173262
>Hah! That's supposed to be Morgan.
That's really obvious looking back at it, I don't know how I misunderstood, but I honest to god thought it was a customer being all pissy because no one was serving him.

>>173266
I don't mind at all, though I do feel as if there might've been some details I missed.

No one has corrected me yet, so I guess that's all the needs to be said on the conception.

>>173283
I'm one of the original greentext fags and was there since the start. That's really the best summary of the origin. The joke was made then somehow we started making characters. Alex was the first character and first green text really followed by Morgan. It's amazing to see the progress it made.

Hey, I'm dissapearing for the holidays! Handy Jay's will update with a double update January 2nd! Happy Holidays!

>>173478
Happy holidays RF. Enjoy wherever you're vanishing to.

>>173679
Is her butt the type of butt you can see the ripples in when it gets a good smack?

>>173691
Yasss. Gonna totally add that later when I color it.

>>173757
>>173758
The nice part about this is that it's only just begun.

>>173758
I really love this and can't wait to see it finish.

Interesting.
Handy Jay's is just starting to get discussed on /co/ outside of the QC threads.

>Handy jays would really benefit from proper backgrounds. At this point they look like they're spending as much if not more time on it as the characters/foreground.

What'cha think about that?

>>173831
>Handy Jay's is just starting to get discussed on /co/ outside of the QC threads.
Cool! Where? Eh, it's prolly gone by now.

>Handy jays would really benefit from proper backgrounds. At this point they look like they're spending as much if not more time on it as the characters/foreground.
Backgrounds have always been a HUGE weakness for me but I'm trying to work on them as much as I can. I know it's not much of an improvement but I'll keep working hard. I want to get better.

>>173838
In a webcomic recommendation thread.

The thread got made right before posting went down and probably got bumped off when posting got fixed.

>>173838
>I want to get better.
Well there's been definitely upswing in the backgrounds over the last pages. That and your messing with different "Camera" angles and panel layouts are really nice improvements.

>>173840
Yeah, probably. I should start talking to the weekend /co/ creator ppl. They seem pretty nice. It's still pretty cool someone thought to recommend me though!

>>173842
You could also ask in the "How's your webcomic?" threads.

Those would probably give more detailed feedback than the weekend /co/ creation threads.

So I taught myself how to use sketchup and built a whole diner! I'm kinda pleased with it. Also, I was a silly billy and forgot Karen's wedding ring so I edited that in and I'll be uploading them shortly to the sites.

>>173853
So there's a full layout of the diner now? That's pretty cool actually.

>>173904
It's smaller than I thought, but that does make sense since not every waitress works every day there.
And the stools open up options I don't think anyone has considered before.

The fact that you want to improve is also a step in the right direction.
Have you been reading the QC thread that's up at the time I made this post? People talking critically about it (what needs to improve etc.) means they actually care enough about it to say so.

>>173907
Yeah, I went for a smaller place because I like the idea that the building is unassuming. Also, yeah, stools bring up cool options and stuff. I can only imagine how a to-go order would work here. But yeah, it's nice to know they care enough that people are talking about it and stuff since I'm so afraid to do so.

>>173904
One thing, not really a problem, just a minor detail, I thought there was supposed to be a service window so that Marv can hang and talk to the girls? Other than that I think it's fine. I always assumed it was a pretty small place, though maybe the front could be a little bigger. Looks kinda cramped in that picture.

Oh, man, it does! I'm still green with the program but I'll figure out how to scale things up and get some floor space. Also I'll add a window for some interaction between Marv and the girls and all because you're right about that being missing. Worse comes to worse, I'll just rebuild it.

>>173915
It's still pretty damn cool to HAVE this model at all, so kudos for that. I just thought I'd mention the little niggles, y'know, constructive feedback and all.

>>173916
Of course, dude. Can't fix a leak if you don't know where it's coming from...or something like that. I'm not a plumber.

>>173917
A lot of us really appreciate the amount of effort you're putting into this. It really is coming along very nicely.

Heads up, Handy Jay's is gonna be a bit late. New page will be ready Late Saturday/Early Sunday! I have to make lasagna and a card for a birthday party coming up!

>>173953
As reasons for late updates go, "Hold on guys I... I just really gotta NAIL this Lasagna." is pretty original.

>>174046
OK, so the part you're drawing is

>Karen bit her lip as she pressed her fingers onto the table.
>Morgan was running her hand between her legs. Nobody except her husband has touched her there in decades.
>She felt so violated and exposed. Yet she felt wetter than she'd ever been before.
>She began to shake against the table. Morgan's fingers expertly rubbing against her panty clad sex.
>Karen moaned as she feel onto the table, her legs too weak to hold her.

Maybe focus some more on the running up the thigh of the leg to the crotch instead of having Morgan just be at the crotch in all four panels that show Morgan's hands.

>>174049
Hmm, yeah. I can dig it. Thanks.

>>174050
If you're gonna do that, you might want to show Karen's increasing nervousness as Morgan's hand gets higher and higher.

But you should definitely keep that intense crotch close up in there. For... reasons.

>>174057
You know, this could lead into Morgan going up and down Karen's inner thighs to get her to spread her legs more, might make her legs giving out later look more probable than otherwise.
