attackallattackersIt wasn't literally on a street...
As you all know, Byakko is a bit of an iconic mascot for the web-comic. So I drew him outside in an area of high foot-traffic. There's a Swedish neighborhood in Chicago called "Andersonville." This area has a lot of hip restaurants and bakeries. My birthday was on the 28th of August and my uncle was treating me to dinner and ice cream there. But I drew this today on the 29th, we celebrated today instead.
There's also a well known comic book store called "Alleycat," which is actually in an alley. You need to walk through a tiny nook between two buildings, follow it and you'll arrive in a small alley and there stands Alleycat. In front of the store there's brick pavement and lots of chalk. So people just draw random stuff all over the ground.
I was eating a rapidly melting ice cream cone from a nearby ice cream parlor while drawing this. So Byakko was the fastest thing I could draw in my current situation. I even signed my pen-name "Epik" in the corner.
Yeah, people who hang around Alleycat will definitely see Byakko. Isn't it awesome?!

My party was fun, I guess... until I opened presents... "profanity phrase generating book" + "talking t-rex plushie" + immature (adults)friends = impending doom.

Also... I'm halfway done with the AAAttackers Super Special Spectacular Surprise... I ran out of fun words that start with "s." Well, the special edition comic will be awesome! After many weeks of hard work, it better be awesome.
