Steve/Eddie Painting Process Video

fandom brainworms have taken over hahaha.

I'm back to work this week, so expect the monthly sketchbooks soon! I'll be working on thumbnails for charity case- and probably starting up with pages again next week!

Charity Case Ch9:Pg 33 process and high res +important schedule info!

Hey all, there'll be a second page this week, and then I'll be taking some time for a holiday starting thursday, so updates will be a bit sketchy! I should be able to work on pages again mid-July, though it might be once-weekly on some weeks!

To be honest I've been getting pretty burned out, I feel like I'm constantly working to get ahead, and then something happens to make me behind again! Last week I got ill, so it was lucky I did this weeks pages ahead of time :').

I worry a lot about things seeming grounded, it's hard to find the balance of going overboard, showing backgrounds all the time, or not showing enough and it feels floaty! Its a tough one and I think I definitely lean to floaty and I'm trying to work on it!

I challenged myself to finish the top panel (from flat to final) in an hour...I keep spending too long on the crowds! It's a bit lumpy but it will DO

also george of the jungle is trans now, it's canon uwu. I'm sad I had to get rid of his toucan tho, it was too out of place!

Sketch process

recently I've had nothing substantial for the $3 tier besides comic page process, so I thought I would at least take some sketch process photos. I got some staetdler triplus fineliners and I've been enjoying doing a faint pen sketch before going over it with a darker colour! The broad brush pen is a sakura koi.

Let me know if this is something you'd want to see more of!


(I regret not scanning the process, you don't realise how bad a phone pic is til you get it next to a...

desperately trying to tone the thirst down ahahaha, going from drawing nsfw to drawing a YA comic is a bit spooky haha. I would still recommend it's for like, older teens but I still don't want it to be overtly sexual.

Sketchbook- May 2022 [+ small CC delay sorry!]

[small visual of blood on pg 6, I grazed my fingers and there's some diary stuff in there about it ]

It's looking like the next charity case page will be next week, sorry for the wait! Sketchbook compilation weeks are always a bit tricky time-wise, and last CC page was SO big haha

2025 update! If you're scrolling through, this is where the sketchbooks stop being in the gallery format, but here's the links to the full sketchbook pdf's.

I am sure there are at least ten things I'm forgetting here! It's so so hard to keep track of things. (this is why I'm slowly removing Roman and Marnies costume extras...less to forget)


Also, someone asked what brush I used, here's a pic and download link (photoshop!)

Rock tier suggestions

it's been a while, and I've got about a little bit of time before I post the pdf, so feel free to comment what you want to see, or send them to my curiouscat anonymously

It can be certain scenarios, pairings, crack pairings, fandom stuff, sexy outfits, whatever! 

All I have so far is a singular Roman/Julien sketch in the party costumes. It's been a deeply uninspired month haha. I did get an ...

I kinda didn't think about having to figure out costumes for side characters, too! Here we have Dracula (Gary Oldmans) and Wednesday :P

I went with the red suit because I don't hate myself enough to draw stripes every page haha. I hope Alma is still recognisable, honestly this whole scene feels so risky now I'm doing it! I hope people dont get confused :P
