Okay wow, look at me making a MASSIVE LIAR of myself and forgetting to post this yesterday like I said I would, my shame is truly immeasurable. Jokes aside this entire drawing came out phenomenally! I still am shocked that this began as a simple exercise to test my raw ink line skills with no preliminary and I applied the same thing to inking it and holy crap did it come out good! I’m not one to usually toot my own horn either but this might be one of the best illustrations I’ve ever made, I’m extremely proud of it.

WIP Wednesday: Resurrection rated R for really bad joke. Anyways my creature is coming out nicely and this’ll probably be the last WIP update for it cuz it’s nearly close to being finished. Lofi Val is also coming along nicely and I’ve just started the ink work for it. And finally began work on the newest page Sunday and I’m already nearly complete with panel 2. I’ll have another post ready for Friday on one of my prior WIP Wednesday pieces that I’m actually excited to share so stay tuned! cess

New page and new doodle finally! Turns out if you make time for one of these on a weekend you can actually do one, who knew lol! Jokes aside I got quite a bit done, I actually went back and revised the sizing of the text in all my comic bubbles on all my finished pages by making it smaller. My initial fears when I was first doing this was if I made the font too small it would make the panels too hard to read, especially on a phone. But it turns out the opposite is also true and as I’ve been making more and more of these panels I just feel like my dialogue was really congested and took up too much space within the confines of each bubble, especially in a lot of the heavier dialogue panels. Plus making it all smaller allowed me to add a bit more to the conversations between characters that I had originally wanted to add but couldn’t due to font and bubble size. Granted nothing in regards to the story has been outright “changed” per se, they’ve just been given a little more flair is all, none of the context or narrative has changed to where what I’ve already posted needs to be re-read by anyone. Plus I also took the opportunity to fix a few spelling mistakes and typos and with that being done I think everything I’ve made so far has reached a “definitive” state and I have no plans to go back to these pages ever again. I plan to repost these new pages later in the week or this weekend for everyone to see. Anyways I’ve talked everyone’s ears off enough lol, hope everyone is having a great day!

Another week and another WIP Wednesday drop along with a surprise Bear cameo who decided to make himself at home on the new mattress we ordered. Anyways, work on the newest page is progressing rather quickly actually, as I only have one panel left to color and then tweak the overall color overlay and that one will be a wrap. I’ve also made a bit of work on the other two pieces I have on the side. Decided that my monstrosity looked just a little too clean, and it’s backstory requires it to be….a bit older….by an untold number of centuries lol, so I’m going back to add details that reflect that, really just experimenting tbh. Other than that, Lofi Valaera is also coming along, just finished drawing the foundations and am now in the process of refining it with red pencil before going back with the Micron pens. Also I AM MAKING A NEW DOODLE OVER THE WEEKEND FOR NEXT WEEK'S PAGE I SWEAR! Anyways that’s all I got in the works, hope you all like how everything’s coming along!

WIP Wednesday folks! Went ahead and further developed that creature piece so I might as well finish it lol, coming along more or less the way I want it to. A lot of progress on the newest page, nearly finished with the outlines but GOD DAMN do I need to revisit that dresser in the bottom panel, how much I would have benefit from that guide tool when drawing up the rough sketches lol. Lastly started another sketchbook piece inspired by all the Medieval Lofi I’ve been vibing to lately so I drew Val in that iconic lofi girl pose for some good practice.

Late post I know but it’s been a long for reasons I don’t feel comfortable sharing atm, and again I know it’s lame to reuse the same page drop doodle but I just didn’t have time or energy to make one today so late in the evening. With that out of the way, new page drop tomorrow yay!!!

WIP Wednesday drop

WIP Wednesday folks! Woke up a lil sick this morning but started feeling better as the day went on. Still found the strength to draw just a little and finally finished the ink work for the 40K comic, wanted to scan it in but I’m having printer issues, a problem since the advent of the damn things.

Hello everyone, sorry for the silence last night but I felt I needed a bit of the break from the social media. But I have returned and I plan to drop the newest page of Knightwood around this time tomorrow as planned!

On this May 4th, let us celebrate those who weren’t here to celebrate with us 😢

Happy alien day

A rather quick WIP Wednesday post, started cell shading for my 40K comic and nearly done with outlines and cell shading for my most recent page, cheers!

My WIP Wednesday drops

Val doesn’t look quite happy for some reason? Couldn’t help myself from doing this art challenge just cuz I thought it was funny, god damn though it was tough drawing myself at that perspective even with a direct reference. Spent probably too much time away from drawing comic pages to work on this one so it might be a hot minute before I have a new drawing lined up for awhile while I try to knock out the prologue of Knightwood completely.
