#xcircuit

ok, man. after so much reworking and a lot of art block, I think maybe this is the general design I will settle on for Ellie at the start of the comic. Certain elements have been part of her design since the beginning: curly hair, overalls, white moon boots, freckles. The character was always missing something for me, though. I made a ref sheet for her at some point in 2019 and it was very flashy and stylish. I had always written “she likes to dress in crazy fashions and colors” on her past character bios, and she does. But I think for everyday work she looks more toned down, like this. It just feels right. So I’m going with it.

HERES some bullshit. haha the layout might not make sense, oops. comics baffle my mind. oh well.

i bring you inktober day 28, "ride"! so what if i missed a week!? ellie's car from my comic x-circuit, hahaha. what a joke. 

man, i think the biggest challenge of working on paper vs. digital is the fact that i can’t just totally erase whole portions of what i drew and draw it over again without redoing the entire drawing. i love when strokes look immediate, and i like to redo my strokes over and over until they look immediate. i dunno if i’m explaining that quite right, but... working digitally makes it really easy to redraw sections i don’t like while keeping sections that i like. i guess i just have to suck it up.

Kano is a famous asshole. haha.

for this week’s prompt at midnight coffee forum: “ it's f#&kn' hot outside”

messing around with clip studio, making some progress.

i did this digitally, i hope it counts! well whatever, as long as i’m drawing, right? i’m really busy right now so digital will have to do, haha. this is my OC Rua-to, a poison frog alien from my comic X-Circuit.
