Charity Case Ch2:Pg23

It's time for a flashback my dude

Charity Case Ch2:Pg22 process & hi-res

I'm really enjoying all these photos! Possibly because the room and colour scheme for this scene have..been reaLLY PLAIN. Unpack faster, Jul!

Feelings? Get outta there Marn.

Also! A note for anyone worried- I'm not going down any kinda child abuse route, bad parenting absolutely, but nothing awful.

You'll notice I started saving the rough colour before I filled in the eyes ¬_¬, too scary for me.

The many faces of Marnie

November 2018 Sketches

Lots of inking experiments in this one, I'm hoping to ink the short charity case comic in a simpler style, to practice for future things! 

Rock Tier- November 2018 sketches

-slides these over the table-

I'll be really glad to have Juliens room filled, there wasn't really anything I could do to liven up those top panels :S!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg20

Julien, master of small talk.

Charity Case Ch2:Pg19 process & hi-res

Also included the gestural sketch, I make a proper mess to begin with, before working into it! 

Charity Case Ch2:Pg19

Goodbye, overly complex patches, you have served your purpose.

Charity Case Ch2:Pg18 process & hi-res

Some reference to start me off with the stupid perspective I chose :P.
Happy with the art in this page, less happy with the script hehe, I think the lack of proper conversation is taking its toll, and I think I should s...

Marnie has a sixth sense for free food ;P

Short comic character focus (Yet another poll ;P)

So I figured I'd get you all to vote for who you'd want to see most- and then I'll figure out a couple of plots to vote between!

It'll be something short and sweet- like Chef Julien or Dancing Queen. 

Not sure how well this'll work with so many options, but hopefully it won't be too tied >v<

Concept- Louise Darling

Julien's Mum! My previous sketches looked...too much like Julien? I want there to be a strong similarity, but enough differences that it doesn't just look like Jul with makeup :S! Still not quite as distinct as I'd like, but I'll push the droopy eyes and oval face further as I work with her I think! (She's gonna show up sooooon!)

Also hey did I mention that Julien's surname is Darling? It started out ...

$5 tier sketch/comic preferences

 I'm slowly working on another nsfw sketch comic- and I figured I'd see how you'd prefer to read it! Currently, I release sketches in a monthly pdf, and comics in a separate pdf when they're completed fully (there's only been one but y'know). 

I'm not fond of the idea of having full nsfw content on the feed, but I could post individual sketches as attachments, or individual pages as attachments, depending on what people preferred! 

-they all say 'under download link' just ...

$1 tier sketch preferences

Sorry for all the polls recently, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to share stuff!

Since I'll be working a little harder on charity case- and focusing a little less on sketches, there won't be quite as many, so I thought I'd check in!

Feel free to comment with opinions/alternatives!

How would you prefer sketches?

Charity Case Ch2:Pg17 process & hi-res

That last Julien...so spook...

Charity Case Ch2:Pg17

So many patches O-O

More patch concepts

I realised I'd put Roman in That Jacket so I had to solidify my sketchy designs from before + figure out colours! 

Charity Case Ch2:Pg16 process & hi-res

Boy I did not anticipate how dull a staircase would be as a setting haha!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg16

I'm so much happier with the detail level you guys, you have no idea :'D. I can actually draw expressions from a distance *weeps*. (idk if I shared that on this tier- I lowered my minimum brush size- which is obviously more work for me, but definitely worth it for non-messy pages)

I've also been K/O'd by a cold and I didn't have chance to do anything for thank you patrons day! But thank you all so much! It means the world to me that people want to support me like this!

Content priorities (& a style experiment)

Hey! So the majority of voters in the poll wanted more Charity Case pages, so I'll do my best to up the output on those. I think the plan will be to increase my buffer to a point where I can consider working on a Charity Case side comic- (like dancing queen) which was the second highest vote. At some point in the near future I'll open polls to decide the characters to focus on, and possibly a poll to choo...

Charity Case Ch2:Pg15 process & hi-res

The backgrounds in this page weren't even sketched I just blobbed the right kinda colours in roughly the right places and then blurred the hell out of it to give the impression of a street ¬-¬. 

Charity Case Ch2:Pg15

Tough love ¬_¬.

Charity Case Ch2:Pg14 process & hi-res

I think I went a bit overboard with the sunlight on the faces, Juliens a bit yellow...but I'm trying to not be too picky :P

Charity Case Ch2:Pg14

(It's masala chai cake, or something like it! ;p)

Content preferences- poll!

So there's quite a few more $1 patrons now, and I wanted to see what kinda stuff you're here for, so I can adjust what I spend time on if needed! 

Obviously this is a poll for everyone, but the options are the things available from the lowest tier!

The last option is for potentially starting a separate short comic, I have some ideas, but they're on the backburner atm! (for example, the Hermit and the Hiker- a wintery wlw romance. Or potentially a different story abo...

Charity Case Ch2:Pg13 Hi-res & process

Usually if I was going to draw a lot of something, I'd learn how to draw it 'properly', but the car features once now, and once wayyy later in the plot, so I'm absolutely just using a 3D reference. Like, the hou...
