Charity Case Ch2:Pg31 process & hi-res

Enjoying using so much green! I rarely use cool colours, so it's a change of pace!
Most of these backgrounds were made up on the fly, I find it more important to contrast the character properly than to focus on the background (when it's unimportant like here). Which doesn't mean I don't have an idea of where they are- I just don't draw exactly where they are within the small setting, so I can choo...

Behave >:I!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg30 process & hi-res

I really liked how this page turned out, despite the awkward middle phase (included ) where I didn't know what I was doing with the colours in the big panel :P. I worked in the lines of the path+ background so they all point towards the panels or figures, which is something I try to keep in mind, but usually...

Very succinct ¬-¬

Charity Case Ch2:Pg29 process & hi-res

It took quite a while to settle on colours for this page- I usually just get photo reference and go for a reasonably realistic theme, but I REALLY don't want to, it feels dull and like it doesn't fit the rest of the comic! So trying something wackier here <3.
Still not happy with how I render backgrounds, they feel too mushy in comparison to the characters, but hopefully I'll get more confiden...

Roman getting his ears talked off in the first panel ;)

Charity Case Ch2:Pg28 process & hi-res

I had fun lining up the elements in the panels to make a line down the page- though I wish I had done it from the planning stage so it could have been more central!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg28

Aaand I'm back! Thank you all for waiting, I'm sorry it's been a quiet couple of weeks!

Sylvia & Jerry -process video

I'm finally getting the hang of painting in procreate, the brush I'm using is softer than I'd like, but I do like the final regardless, I tried to not get so carried away with rendering :P!

It's sideways for some doodles before I rotated it and started to work on the painting, skip to 55 seconds to skip the doodley warm up!

Video is in the download! (sorry- patreon...

January Sketch suggestions

 Drop your suggestions for the poll here! If you can think of specifics (characters doing something etc!) that's great, but no worries if not <3. Fan stuff or my characters are both fine! I've drawn a fair amount of non-charity case stuff in recent sketches, if you can't think of an idea but want more of a certain character (Jul etc), suggest it!

You can also treat it like a Q&A if that floats your boat (like what's Juliens fav food etc)

And if you want to put an ...

January rock tier sketch suggestions

It's that time of the month again :P

Specifics are great (x characters doing x) but if you're not sure just throw anything at me! Kinks are fine, you can suggest characters from other things if you like (pref things I'm versed in, bnha, zelda, dragon age, overwatch etc- no harm in asking if you don't know!).

I like to avoid drama with ships so nothing controversial please!

I may poll the results if I get multiple <3

Rock Tier- December 2018 Sketches

Thanks for your patience on getting this months content!

December 2018 sketches

Thanks for being so patient this month! I'll be working on charity case pages again shortly, I'm going to try to get back to posting 3 pages a week here when I can, starting early next week! I just got back from seeing friends after a hectic Christmas break, but I'm glad to be back to a schedule again :P

I'm going to build up the buffer as much as I can before I start working on the HP spin off comic, but I'll be scripting and thumbnailing that behind the scenes in the meantime :P

A teensy update

Hey all! I'll be posting the monthly content on the 4th-5th of the month, as I'll be away from my laptop til then </3. Thank you for your patience while the comic pages have been on break! I'm excited to get back to work and share more of the story with you :).

I'm so happy I planned out all these pillows and blankets beforehand :').

Charity Case CH2:Pg27 [+ a break!]

Hey all! I'm going to be taking a two week break from posting pages, both on here and publicly. I will still be working on sketches and other stuff in the background for the monthly content, but I need a bit of time to recharge during the holidays!

Thanks for the support, as always, and happy holidays! 

ALSO the poll for the next short comic is 50/50, please go vote! Theres only a day left <3

December sketch request poll

A lot of cute cosy ideas for this one!

AU comic poll

So I'm definitely going to be slow working on this, but I want to start scripting so I thought I'd see which idea you all prefer!

They're both 'first kiss' type plots! 

1-   Harry potter AU- Professor Julien gets slipped a love potion by a student- either a botched attempt, or a different variety than the canon- he floo's to Professors Roman and Marnie for help, and promptly realises it's triggered by contact with a person/people. Awkward times ensue, along with a confessi...

Charity Case Ch2:Pg26 process & hi-res

Thank god for simple pages, honestly. I started at like...11, and I'm done by 1. (I had the sketch done already!) But BOY I needed an easy page today :').
I wanted to blend the sheet's he's hiding behind into his bedroom sheets, to try and emphasise the time change, hopefully the speech bubbles make it clear enough!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg25 process & hi-res

Hoo boy its time for my old friends, blue and red :P.
I actually prefer both of these process pics to the final, they have a lot more dynamic, but I think it was inevitable that the polished one would lose some!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg24 process & hi-res

I'm so happy to have a different colour scheme guys ;-;. It's been too many pages since I changed it up! Also enjoying keeping it slightly simpler for the flashback, sorta to make it feel less grounded? Though I think the background I added on the last panel drags it down a little, I wanted to show the walls in a sorry state + maybe hint at what they lived like.

It got a little mad with all the texture at the end, but I'm hoping it's not taking away from the page too much :')!
I was going to have lyrics going with this, but songwriting is hard and it came out too rough for my liking!
