Charity Case Ch9:Pg 46 process and high res

casually using those speech bubbles to try and hide the bad perspective on Romans legs. I'm trying to rush ahead so I can get a week off without losing any Work...but working from the scrappy sketch did not work out here haha! AND I hurt my wrist working too hard on the nsfw sketchbook yesterday, a great start, all in all.

(I know folks dont mind if I dont update...but tapas is automatically posted twice a week atm and I want to stay on top -_-!)

brief flirting break to remember that they're watching a movie

Charity Case Ch9:Pg 45 process and high res

included my rough sketch too! I had friends look over the sequence of roughs before I committed to final sketches, usually I don't do them as separate from the sketch (I do thumbnails, but they're not half as detailed)

operation flirt- success!

Some bigger changes here! I got some friends to look over it, since its a big scene, and decided to get them all in a shot together here!

Also posting this I see I forgot Marnies fake mole, the glitter on her bowtie, AND Julies choker. Woe...

Charity Case Ch9:Pg 44

go Marnie :P

The eyes took longer than the whole rest of the page! I shot myself in the foot by making her face not tilt enough at the start, so looking up through eyelashes wasn't really...possible

I still like the closed eyes best, but it has less meaning! I'd be pretty shocked if someone drank from my cup but I know other people are a lot more affectionate than I am (British...) so I wanted it to read with flirty intent.

an easy page...its been so long

Every time I export a page in this scene, I notice something I forgot (usually the glitter) and I have to do it again @-@

You'll notice I made them all strip pretty fast. Hat and coat, begone! gloves and shoes? Get thee away! Less to forget!

:O

No more yellow and green, now blue is my best friend. Im hoping it just looks like I turned the light off lol!
I find using local colours...hard to make it romantic or atmospheric? I tend to bring in the overlays and multiplys for mood lighting haha.

I ended up thumbnailing this one digitally, because I didn't like the paper one I'd done, so I inculded that too!

I love getting to do the blobby background, its so satisfying!

Sorry to leave you on that cliffhanger for a whole week! I should get the next page out tomorrow <3 Back to Roman and Marnie very soon, I swear ;).

Also I think plenty of people already do, but feel free to use she/her pronouns for Julie too! (It's good practice too haha)

Sketchbook- July 2022 [Images now in post]

I included the tapas sketches, though you've likely seen them before, especially if you've gone back through the archive! 

I didn't spend as much time as I'd have liked in my sketchbook this month! It's been a constant catch up on other things, every month I think 'this month, I'll get on top!' and then I'm treading water again XD. 

I should still get two pages out this week, but the comment contest and sketchbooks took up the start of the week, so I'm running a bit late...

Rock Tier Sketches- July 2022 [images in post]

I'm going to join my peers in posting straight onto patreon with nsfw images- I'll always use a preview image without anything too nsfw, but I thought I should give everyone a heads up! I figure I could do a yearly pdf or something instead.

From what I can tell, the email doesn't give image previews at all? But let me know!

Sorry this months is so short, I spent too long on last months and cut into this months time >-<! 

Please do send requests if you have them, I...

I forgot ALL the saving steps on this one, I'm a fool -_-!
I hope u forgive me with a vague doodle of what she might look like without drag. I don't expect readers to know she's trans, the drag line is wobbly, but I figured I'd share! She probably has a bunch of really cool wigs + nobody ever knows how to find her in a crowd because she always looks so different.

I am suffering with this colour scheme- she looked atrocious with the blueish hair so I had to go bubblegum D:

this many greens and reds should probably not mix haha, I am trying my best

Julie & Alma process video

Watch me paint a necklace 200 times. There's always something in each painting that goes less smoothly haha! The last painting I spent forever trying to get a characters neck looking smooth but not Too smooth...

Julie & Alma painting

This is for a tapas thing later in the month, to go with the question 'which character would you choose to share headphones with, and what music would you listen to?' I'm secretly just hoping to get new music to listen to ;).

I've drawn the trio quite a bit, but I love Julie and Almas friendship, so I figured I'd focus on them this time.

Process video on the $3 tier <3
