Process & high res- Charity Case page 44

 

The writing for this page was a nightmare! It took like- eliminating everything I DIDN'T want to say to get down to what I wanted.

I hate spelling things out- I don't like it when people talk like they'r...

Linksona painting high-res & Process video

 This was me trying to get used to the brushes in procreate! I'm still struggling to find one that fits >:I.  

See the download for the process video! [edit- adding this in here, I don't know how to get it to actually...show up as the main content, seems to want me to host it elsewhere, which is daft!]

tbh it was quite difficult to make the panels look like I painted them fast XD, the more detailed a picture is the longer the eye spends looking at it- which makes the panel take more time up, but...I wanted the shouting to be like, good looking but also fast! Kinda hyped that I didn't need reference for those faces tho. L-l-level up!

Goals

Once I’ve met a goal I’ll still do the rewards even if the monthly amount fluctuates under the goal a bit, so don’t worry about losing the chance to get an OC sketched or anything! A couple of payments have been declined too, so check to see if patreon is emailing you about that! Thanks for all your support <3

August Rock Tier Sketches & Changes

Hiya all! So this is also in the pdf itself- but I'll put it here too: I'm going start spending more time on nsfw comics- I find myself making more ambitious content each month and it's getting mad! I want to put the time into these ideas to make them more than just half finished sketchy comics, so I'll be releasing things like that when they're complete, instead of monthly. 

I will continue to release a monthly nsfw pdf, but the amount may vary if I'm working on a bigger nsfw comic!

August Sketches & some changes!

Hey all, so I've been scrambling to keep up with everything this month, and finding myself running out of time to do any bigger pieces, which are kinda more important in the long run to my career than faster sketches. Initially the reward for the $1 tier was almost exclusively the sketchbook pdf, but as I started my comic it grew to include early pages.
I know I never put a number on the amount of sketches that would be released each month, but I still found myself trying to cram more in at t...

I forgot to add Julien's phone charm for like...50% of the panels in this scene, rip! Also his nail polish pops in and out of existence, and his eyeshadow...I'm gonna say it's washed off by now, must've been a cheap brand ¬_¬

Charity Case page 39 [anxiety cw] process & high res

Thank you all for sticking with me this month! I know its been a while since I've posted any illustrations or development work! I have to design some stuff for the next chapter, so that'll shake it up a little, haha! (this one is over in about 7 pages, 3 of them are in the sketch stage, and the rest are thumbnailed...

Good mums, 10/10

Also, surprise, Julien's kitchen is in fact very normal colours, and not blue and red, or any of the other ridiculous colours I made it XD

Rock tier sketchbook suggestions

Hit me up! 

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, DA, overwatch etc).

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

Sketch suggestions for monthly 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 future do...

Goal reached & next goal suggestions!

So a super generous patron pushed me up to the next goal, so from next month I'll be doing monthly sketches of one of your OC's (randomly selected). I'm not sure how many of you have OC's, so if there's only a couple of entries, I'll open it to other suggestions so everyone gets a chance to get their fav drawn.

Also I want to apologise again for the lack of activity on non-comic things! I went from making just Charity Case to doing that, Dancing Queen and Heartstopper, and while I've finished ...

Spicy sketchbook process video

aka watch me redraw a peen like 20 times.

It's too big for patreon, which is a massive shame, but here's a link to it: https://we.tl/3Jj3CRovrf

Sketchbook Process Videos

Some process videos of my sketchbook! 

There's also a video of a scrapped painting, I didn't like how dull the colours were turning out, and I hadn't really planned to colour it, so it didn't go quite right :')!

(They're split up because procreate has a layer limit- so I have to have multiple documents for monthly sketches, and it records per document </3)

July spicy sketchbook

I went WAY over the top with one of the ideas here, so enjoy...a very loose but long comic XD

Apologies if some of the pictures look a little faint, my ipad has crazy good contrast, but moving it over to my main computer loses...a lot of the lines, hopefully you all have better laptops than me :').

Also I'll put up the process vid for this tomorrow <33
