Charity Case Ch3:Pg27 Process & Hi-res

I hope I'm doing the cliche 'the main character of this music themed thing can SING?' moment justice :P. It's always something I kinda loved in media haha, it's so expected but always so fun.

Charity Case Ch3:Pg27

The lyrics are made up, but are: 'Oh cause I'm hanging on, I'm gripping so tight, so hold on baby, hold on'
tbh I just needed something generic for a radio-style song so it's not something I put any time into ;). However, future gig will have ~thought and effort~ I swear haha.

This simpler style works so much better for recognisable small figures! I used to struggle with outlining them and not having a big enough brush, but blocking the colours is much prettier.

Excuse me while I take ages to upload all three pages ;P! It's one downside of bulk creating, 3-6 whole posts to spam your inboxes ;;

Charity Case Ch3:Pg25 Process & Hi-res

put a lot of todays time into the last page, so this ones a little simpler! It's...frustrating knowing that you CAN make something really good looking, but realistically nobody will spend enough time on each page for it to be worth it! Comics are strange.

Charity Case Ch3:Pg25

why yes, I did strategically push the hat off last page so I could draw the hug easier ;)

Finally, a hug!

Rose Tinted P1 Process

I just realised I forgot the title...I'll add that in future hahahahhhhhh
It's interesting working with two greys instead of  one, it gives more room for atmospheric variety, though I do miss the simplicity...

Rose Tinted P1 [HP Charity Case AU]

[harry potter charity case alternate universe ;P]

This is a really short mini-comic (6 pg) that I promised a WHILE ago, but I got invited into an anthology and it got put on hold! I'll upload it page by page as I make it, like CC.

Since then, we've also blasted way past the Q&A goal, which I'll get to once I've finished this! Both of these projects will be used as eventual chapter break fillers, but they'll be exclusive here for now!

This is set when the trio are older...

Rock tier July sketch poll

[sorry! had to repost, forgot to add poll settings!]

It's getting hard to think of new things, ahaha ;; I'm jealous of people with big casts for things like this. 

As always feel free to prompt things and I'll keep it in mind or put it up to poll next month!

July sketch poll

Hiya! I've been wiped out from doing any fun sketches this month so far, resting my wrist after using it for comic pages each day instead of working on fun stuff, so the poll is a little late!

Really simple ones this month, but if you have something you want to see, feel free to comment and I'll keep it in mind! I'm really bad at coming up with prompts, usually things come to me AS I draw, which isn't great for planning ahead :P.

Charity Case Ch3:Pg23 Process & Hi-res

Another interesting thing about cutting out the gradients is that Sylvias hair is just cool and stripey instead of gradiating down the plait :P (also Juliens hat looks like it's made of cheese now, I'm leaning into it...)

But yeah you can see in the rough colour I'm pretty much only using shading where...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg23

Didn't leave you hanging for long ;)

Charity Case Ch3:Pg22 Process & Hi-res

I've pretty much entirely cut out blending now- which is really interesting, it forces me to make stronger shapes and choose better colours, haha! 

Essentially I realised I didn't want this to turn into a lifetime project- and my wrist is giving me trouble again, so I've had to try and cut down th...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg22

¬_¬

Really cutting out on detail at the moment- my wrist is quite upset, so I'm trying to find a simpler style!

Sylvia & Jerry- Maria comic # 3- process

Here's another page of the Sylvia and Jerry comic! I'm sorry my process is quite repetitive, there's nothing exciting to ...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg21 Process & Hi-res

Trying to lean more into the sharp edges recently, since I think they're an element of my style that makes it a little more unique!

Charity Case Ch3:Pg21

Move aside Roman, biggest mom coming thru.

Charity Case Ch3:Pg20 Process & Hi-res

I'm sure there are better ways to accurately do lighting, but for now I'm just using yellow on an overlay to get consistent tones for everyone! I'm hoping it doesn't end up tooooo bright, Sylvia's definitely looking...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg20

Julien finally gets a hug <3

Rock Tier Sketches- June 2019

This is half sketches, and half smut peddler finished pages! (which I am finally free from! I'm so excited to have time to spend on my other projects again.)

June 2019 Sketches

Hello to all the new patrons, thanks for joining! Here's this months sketch content :).

Also something that's been on my mind with regards to the sfw + nsfw sketch content-
I know I never promise Only charity case related sketches- (though I do try to include them as an option in the polls) but I am aware that they're quite infrequent in comparison to other stuff! I use sketchbook stuff as a way to get a creative break from whatever I'm working on, so the subjects vary a lot. I some...

Sylvia & Jerry- Maria comic # 2- process

I agonised for so long over which song to put in there, and eventually decided to just use the next few lines of the song i used for the last page! I'm thinking the next page will have dialogue, whenever I get around to it :P. This is super unplanned, but I like to try and do a sunday piece for th...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg19 Process & Hi-res

This page is a little rougher than the last- I realised I was getting waaay too detailed and spending too much time on things, so I used a bigger brush here. I'd so much rather have an alright looking, but finished comic, than a really pretty unfinished one haha. (and the big brushes force me to u...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg19

garden time >:3

Charity Case Ch3:Pg18 Process & Hi-res

Soft Jerry? What's the world coming to!

Charity Case Ch3:Pg18

The comic is in taps from now on, better get out your code translators, folks. 

'Maria'- Sylvia & Jerry comic page process

As a treat for finishing a comic, I made...another comic. (based on 'Maria' by Blondie)

This is at uni before Sylvia came out, she studied dance as a way to express femininity without her family disapproving...

Charity Case Ch3:Pg17 Process & Hi-res

I'm very happy to leave this doorway behind. I don't know if anyone will notice but I've been cutting out the right side of the porch/entryway so you can actually see Jerry at different angles :P. I chose an awkward place for a conversation.
