Some Connie drawings for warmups. Sometimes I worry about my “style” but I can’t imagine drawing her any other way. Curse of the Eel updated in Tumblr and Tapas today so go check out the new page! #curseoftheeel #drawing #pencildrawing #pencils #sketchbook #warmup #art #goth #horror #noeyebrows #sketches #stillmanandbirn https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IcMcxjnJc/?igshid=5b7vdlcwf5f5

Last night was a good one for drawing faces! Lots of fun expressions in Curse of the Eel chapter 12, which I’m almost done penciling. These were drawn with my new @tombowusa Mono100 HB pencils on @stillmanandbirn Zeta paper. The smooth sketching adds so much energy! #drawing #curseoftheeel #makingcomics #comics #expression #horror #horrorcomics #acting #face #pencildrawing #pencil #jorgesantiagojr #latepost #latenight #indie #indiecomics #webcomic #stillmanandbirn #tombow #gothgirl #goth #noeyebrows #fun #art #artlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lQSNJDjiY/?igshid=jjtm7jybfd21

These panels poured out of me so easily, the power of food and friendship I guess. This is also the first of a few pages where I felt like my old self again, where the story and art really gel together into a good comic. Not all page can be winners but this one felt good! This was drawn with my new @tombowusa Mono 100 pencils on @stillmanandbirn Zeta paper. Also, my inspiration for this scene is my favorite restaurant in the Atl area, China Dynasty in Marietta! I need to go by there again, it’s been tricky since I moved but I’ll try to go back soon! #drawing #comics #pencil #pencildrawing #horror #hplovecraft #manga #inspiration #eating #food #foodie #chinesefood #dorks #goth #gothgirl #friends #story #curseoftheeel #jorgesantiagojr #tombow #stillmanandbirn #love #family #art #sketch #indie #indiecomics #latepost #latenight https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NY-h9DqCH/?igshid=awyzddtmv5tl

I’ve pretty much given up @inktober , although I guess this counts? I got some good sized projects that I need to focus on, so I’m dialing back the entries until after or just whenever I have time. At least it’s finally cooling down, so here’s a bundled up Connie. This was inked with @pentelofamerica color brush, ink wash brush, and Hybrid Technica in my @stillmanandbirn Epsilon sketchbook. Connie is an introverted goth kid in high school, whose annoying life was turned upside backwards when she accidentally summons a Cthulhu-Esau’s creature to earth. Read the webcomics on Tapastic, Tumblr, and Smackjeeves by searching for Curse of the Eel! #curseoftheeel #halloween #comics #latepost #inktober #inktober2019 #freelance #artlife #horror #horrorstories #goth #gothgirl #noeyebrows #drawing #ink #sketch #latenight #fall #autumn #cooldown #characterdesign #fun #dork #jorgesantiagojr #stillmanandbirn #pentel #artsupplies https://www.instagram.com/p/B3tp5xej_2h/?igshid=3dd0sarvv2t0

I’ve been so busy with freelance work lately that it was nice to take some time to visit a cafe and plan some comics! This is for chapter 12 of Curse of the Eel, my lovecraftian high school comedy drama. Things are heading towards the end of the story, and I’m excited to tell this story and hopefully have a lot of you along for the ride! You can read Curse of the Eel on @tapas_app, just search for the name! You can also buy volume 1 on my store, link to my site in the bio! Volume 2 is coming soon! #drawing #curseoftheeel #storyboards #thumbnails #planning #makingcomics #comic #comics #artlife #art #pencil #spoilers #horror #horrorstories #horrorcomics #pencildrawing #hplovecraft #weird https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AeJHHginj/?igshid=1udr4hlo95i4s

Never did post this, but here’s the cover for Curse of the Eel chapter 11, which brings volume 2 to a close! Things are getting even weirder for Connie as a person from her past has discovered a horrifying eldritch secret and is using it freely at their school. The chapter is being uploaded on @tapas_app, @tumblr, and Smack Jeeves, just search for Curse of the Eel! This was drawn with Sumi ink with my Raphael brush on @stillmanandbirn Beta paper and colored in Photoshop. #curseoftheeel #hplovecraft #horror #horrorcomics #comics #makingcomics #cover #drawing #illustrate #fun #highschool #goth #gothgirl #jock #bullying #weird #indie #indiecomics #jorgesantiagojr #art #bodyhorror #love #friends https://www.instagram.com/p/B1fIDdkjwW3/?igshid=d0juslt2d26j

My friend @madchen_onslaught discovered this bowl, perhaps it was made by the Cult that worshipped the Eel in my comic Curse of the Eel! This is probably what they thought Eel would be like when they summoned it, but hey, they say not to meet your heroes. Curse of the Eel is a coming of age story set in a high school where the other dimensional Eel creature is the most well adjusted person in the building. You can get volume 1 in my store and read it online on @tapas_app, tumblr, and Smackjeeves! This will now be a fixture at my con tables, thanks Madchen! #curseoftheeel #bowl #offering #cult #weird #artifact #hplovecraft #convention #monster #horror #haunted #drawing #painting #indie #indiecomics #horrorcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jvuy9BCnH/?igshid=1vz6pz1hj6ceg
