Cullen's Art

I decided to try something different—here's an inking timelapse from the cover for Nothing Is Stranger Than Fiction!

I used Clip Studio Paint and, since this character is an animated princess, a thin fixed-weight pen instead of my usual tools.

(I've never done a video like this before, so please let me know if you have any suggestions 🙏 I've got two more screen recordings waiting to be edited)

Check out the finished cover here:

Our first two "Meet the Artist" features are up on Kickstarter, featuring @bakertoons and @cullensart!

I'll be posting these Mondays and Fridays, pledge or follow to get em sent straight to your email!

We did it, thank you so much everyone who contributed to our campaign! It fills me with joy to know there are people out there that want to see indie comics thrive. We’re hoping to hit our stretch goal of 3K so we can unlock our sticker pack reward!

We also added a special print to the bundle, Jerry Ordway’s cover for The Messenger, who will have a brand new story in 25 years featured in the anthology!

I would have featured commission slots I offered, but they got snapped up before I could post. You know who you are, and thank you! So I’ll let you know we do have commission tiers left from our artists, @cullensart for sure! please check them out!
