Panel edit gif

I often make small edits to text or the art, but since this was a big one I thought I would share it. I couldn't handle how messy it was- and since I've been increasing detail in later pages I figured I could sort this one out :P! I mostly just clarified the shapes and added darker tones.

Definitely let the composition slip on this one, all the weight is one one side :P. It's something I really want to work on when I get time, I don't think about it enough when I thumbnail!

Charity Case Ch2:Pg12 Process & Hi-res


You'll maybe notice the level of detail in the sketch has gone up- I'm trying to use thinner brushes so I can improve the quality a bit! It's been bothering me how messy anything beyond a bust portrait was, so I'm trying to make room for more body panels, now I'm not just drawing phone conversations :P.

I'm also never sure how to share the rough colour, so here's one without lines, since yo...

Sketch suggestions for November poll!

 Hey all, 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! 

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 old idea up for voting again, or reword stuff, that's also cool! I will try to do more than one if I get chance, and I always keep suggestions in mind for fut...

Rock tier November 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!

Suggestions are closed on the 15th of the month!

Anime sparkles~

There'll be another short break before the next set of pages, I need to thumbnail and sketch the next bunch of pages, but after that there'll be a bunch in relatively quick succession, like these last few pages! Also I'll be getting the monthly rewards ready, which will be out at on Nov 1st/2nd!

I'm not so happy with these pages & the way they flow- I think having a tour makes it harder to have any dialogue flowing from one page to the next, so it's all kinda disjointed >_<! Not many pages left though!

I've been so excited to finally have these guys + their dumb personalities in canon <3.

Still not certain about this brush, it has more personality, but it's a bit messy :S!

I love drawing Marnie and Julien from the side, its all nose!

Gonna have to get used to drawing birds eye view for Marnie :P.

Illustration- Roman & Julien- High res & process

See the high res in the attachment!

I missed out a LOT of...horrible colour choices to begin with XS, I struggled to get started with a scheme for ages. I did unfortunately cover up Julien's naked legs in the process, rip!

'It's a Christmas classic! I can't believe you haven't seen it- that's parental neglect, right there.'

I seem to have forgotten to share Roman and Marnie's room! It's not as in depth, since it won't show up much in the comic, but I wanted to get the big bits down!

I'm so happy to finally paint these guys again!!! Finally into the main story! Ugh!

Underboob sweat is a serious issue ;)

Also! I'm sure you've noticed I've been posting lots of pages- that's because I sketched a load in a row, then painted a load in a row, so there'll be another (short) gap while I sketch the next lot! (usually 3-4 pages)

The sims reference is mostly redundant from the outside- but I have really bad spacial awareness and it helps me to figure out how the rooms would fit inside a house that shape :P

I'm also trying a new brush this page!

Including a failed attempt at the top panel- I felt like the light was all over the place and not really drawing focus anywhere. I put more of the sun in the left corner and redrew the plants to be leaning into the image instead! It's still not how I wanted but it'll do :P

I'm SO not ok with the proportions on Roman (and all of them to an extent haha!) I desperately need to do some studies of cartoon styles- those legs need to be so much leggier :P.
