Hornets Dream 30 sketch!

The first page of chapter 2 is Ready! It seems Hornet is not the only wall buster in Hollownest.

There isn't too much to say art wise, but I did have fun making this one. The good news with such massive characters is that there is a lot less background to draw. So thats gonna make things easy for me. I think my favorite part is Hornet hugging her breasts, but only able to reach around a fraction of them.

Ive decided to keep the page number order for the time being, but Im questioning if thats what I want to stick to. I might make this page 1 of chapter 2, but I worry that might make it harder for readers to keep track of them. I also don't really intend to make physical versions of the comic, so having the page count reset each chapter isn't totally needed.

On a similar note, I intend to make chapter covers, which means chapter 1 and 2 need one before I get to far ahead. I have a few ideas for what I might do, but I also want to dig for ideas. I mentioned before that this chapter is pretty much all about Hornet's long journy to find a new outfit that fits her, but while she wants something practical, Herrah wants her perfect girl to be the great princess she always imagined. I want to hear your best pitches for a chapter title and cover layout.

Hornet's dream 28 complete!

Hornet's dream 28 is complete! And chapter 1 another step closer to completion.

Alright, since im not in a discord call this time, I have the freedom to yap! So, earlier I decided that I wanted to try something new for Herrah's shadow. I think I mostly like it, but I think it needs a little more work. Art tip: when drawing shadows, the edges become softer/ more blurred the father the shadow stretches from its source. With this in mind I would make the shadow of Herrah's head blurrier than the shadow cast on Hornet, and I might do that before I post it. But it wouldn't work with the outline.

Looking at it more, I also think im gonna try to make the cracks on the walls and doorframe more pronounced, they blend a little too much with the shading. I also realized I left the hammer unshaded, I will have to fix that too.

Let me know what you think.

Hornet 28: progress update

Hornet 28 is close to done! Let me know what you think so far.

I just want to do a little more to make it look nice, and I have to write the dialouge. But after that it will be complete. I can't stay long to share my thoughts, doing things tonight. Also there were a few comments on the last post, I want to answer them but just couldn't find the time. Know however that I have been reading them and will share all the answers when i can!

Ok gotta go. Im learning how to play Lancer! I might do some lancer art for you guys if you'd be interested.

Hornets dream 28 lineart

Hornet 28 is another step closer to completion! Give it a look and let me know what you think!

Sorry for the delay. Things have gotten much busier now that summer is over. I hope to get into a better schedule, but things are likely to be a little slower than normal.

For Herrah's shadow im gonna be trying something a little different. Normally I would add the shadow as just a color, but i thought I could try to add it with an outline as an experiment. Im not sure how well it will work, but if it does look good I'll keep it.

I don't have a whole lot else to say at this time, so im just gonna leave it here and get back to work.

Samus and the boombox 3: lineart complete

The 4 page samus mini series is one step closer to completion! I wonder if I can get it done before the release of prime 4?

Just want to apologize for the lack of uploads around here. I hope to keep up my upload schedule, but now that the semester is back things are going to be a little slower than normal.

With that out of the way, I think I like how page 3 is turning out. I think im getting good at drawing the zero suit, only thing that's still giving me a problem is the symbols on the suit, especially the back. If you notice, ive avoided doing them when I can get away with it.

I'll add a little more and then add the color. Line art is usually the longest stage anyway, so expect an update on this soon.

And on an unrelated note, ive been keeping a close eye on prime 4. After the bike reveal some have expressed concerns, but I think it will be fine.

Hornet 29 sketched: End of Chapter 1

Page 29 is sketched, and with that chapter 1 is one step closer to completion. And we will finally get our first proper look at Herrah, let me know if you like it.

Oh boy, part of me is surprised I actually got to this point. Chapter 1 has its ending lined up, and I can get started on chapter 2.

In regards to Herrah's design, its pretty much the same as the one she got in the practice sketches (its what those were for after all). But what Im most interested in is her colors. I got to choose one of them in page 27, but it will be here that I get to choose the rest. Im liking the design I have so far, only thing I have that needs figuring out is how im gonna draw her extra arms in some shots. I think im gonna have to change the second panel a little in that regard. You might be able to see her extra shoulders behind her head, but Im not sure how much I like it that way.

I think thats all I have for now. Thank you for reading!

Massive effect: part 4

Here is the next part of Massive Effects! and I think it came out alright. Let me know what you think!

I had finished this a little while back, but forgot to post it.

I might make a few adjustments before it goes public, mainly with the background. It didn't come out the best, so I might try to clean it up. I might also adjust the speech balloons too, looking at it now it feels a little disorganized. Also for each part Tali is gonna wear a different suit. In the first game the suit colors represented the various clans in her species, although later they were just upgrades. I choose blue for this one, but im also questioning if that was the best choice. I worry that its not different enough from her regular suit and one might not be able to tell. Plus the area we choose for the bg also has a bunch of blue light that makes it so someone might not see that detail.

Looking at it more there is a lot of things that im not satisfied with, but I sometimes wonder how much of that is me striving for quality, and how much of it is me looking at it so much that all I can see are the flaws. Tis one of the traps of an artist's life.

Hornet's dream 27 complete!

Ok so its still missing a few things, and I will add them before this goes public, but it is MOSTLY done! And I think I like how its come out.

Sadly time is short, so I can't give as much insight and behind the scene info as I like, so I will lightning round it. I think the ripple effect came out alright. I also gave Herrah a little more of a red hue, something I think I will keep when I get to her full body shot.

Im out of time to write, but please comment what you think and when Im free id be happy to answer questions.

Hornet 27: ink complete

Page 27 is another step closer to completion. She just needs one more push and Hornet will be free, but what awaits her on the other side?

I mentioned last time I was worried about how the ripple effect would come out. So far i think its alright, but im hoping that its gonna look better when I add the color. I do like at least how Ghost's cloak came out in the first panel with how it flows. I also need to figure out how im gonna color Herrah. My current plan is to have her tones be slightly deeper, but otherwise close to her daughter. I will have to experiment and see.

On an unrelated note, I got my copy of Silksong yesterday and was playing more of it today. I haven't gotten too far, but I already have a few ideas for future characters I can add. But with that said PLEASE BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU SHARE WITH ME! Im usually not too bothered by spoilers, but I want to give the game its opportunity to surprise me. Something i can forsee getting harder the longer time passes.

Samus stealth mission

Here is something else I started a little while back. The greatest bounty hunter seems to have been caught during her mission, how do you think she will escape this one?

Its another simple project so don't worry about this taking away too much time from the bigger projects, such as the other Samus comic I have. Its just a way for me to practice and have fun. For anyone who has been around for a while, you might find this a little familiar to a commission I had done before called "3D chromed up the ass". I liked what I did for that one and figured I may as well give it another shot. Of course the specifics are different, I can't make it a total copy. Its Samus rather than 3D (the commissioner's oc) and her boobs are swelling just as much as her ass.

I am gonna say tho, I am still having trouble with Samus' hair. Im gonna see if I can fix it before I move on to lineart, but there is just something about it that gives me a hard time.

Rouge in a boobie trap: complete

Its been a minute since ive shown this one. Rouge's encounter with a cursed gemstone has left her trapped, by her own boobs.

I expected to finish this one a lot sooner. But I ended up having some trouble with a few things. The big one was the rendering for rouge's skin. I shaded it how I usually do, but it needed a little more work to get right. I might even go and do a little more for the third panel. Same can be said for the backgrounds, i might go back to make them a little better.

I think I got rouge's face better than it was when i showed the sketch. Overall i like what i did with it.

Hornet 28 sketched

Alright, ive gotten to work more on the hornet 28 sketch, and i think ive fixed a few things. Ive been very busy these last few days, and things might slow down a little, but im gonna try hard to keep it up.

First of all, the last panel is hopefully more clear now that hornet has her face. I also tried to add Herrah's shadow to the background, casted over the characters. Im not 100% happy with how it is, but I think I can fix that later. I also had the door frame break as hornet went through as a little extra detail. Let me know what you think!

Hornets dream 28 sketch, unfinished

Heres the sneak peak for hornet 28. It is not done yet, but I wanted to at least share what I had so far since its been a few days since ive uploaded.

I'll share more soon, but im very busy at the moment. But what I can say is that this will be the second to last page for chapter 1. The next page will be Herrah's official reveal and I will be able to begin production for chapter 2.
Like always, let me know what you think!

Samus and the boombox 2

The second page of Samus and the boombox is near complete! I am really happy with how this one turned out.

There are still a few things I want to add before I call it 100% done, mainly some more dialogue for samus and a little more rendering for the song text, but everything else is good. It took me a minute to figure out what I was doing for the background. At first I wanted to aim for a rave esthetic with a bunch of colored lights, but after a while of trying I just couldn't get it to look as good as I wanted. I also tried a pink glow around samus, but that didn't look right either. Once I got to this however I was very happy with it.

I don't have much else to say, let me know what you think.

Hornet 26 complete

Its Hammer time!

Hornet 26 is complete! I might make a few adjustments in the future, but as it stands im happy with how its come out. This might be the shortest update in hornets dream history, simply because I just don't have anything else to say. I like how its come out and im gonna move on to the next one.

Rouge and a heart shaped gem

Heres something small that Im doing for fun! Its a classic scene of a world class thief stealing something they really shouldn't have.

I just wanted something fun to practice with, plus I think people like the comics, so here's one with Rouge! There isn't any greater story with this one, its just boobie bat. But I am liking where its going. Im also considering having the gem being the same one from that breast expansion animation that won an award this year. It will always amaze me.

Im not totally happy with how I drew Rouge's face. Turns out sonic character's aren't easy to draw. One detail off and the whole thing doesn't look right anymore. So I will likely try and fix that by the next time you see this.

I might also add an extra panel between the second and third, but I don't quite know what id do for it.

Anyway, let me know what you think!

Herrah sketches + height question

I had done a few sketches to decide what I wanted to do for Herrah before, and I decided that i should do a few more as im figuring out how I want to add her into the comic.

I think I have her mostly figured out, even if her design will likely evolve as the comic continues. However I have 1 question that I want to ask my audience, how tall should Herrah be?
In the game she is very big, at least twice Hornet's height. Now I don't have to follow the game in this respect, but I can if I wish. The reason this is important however, outside of the usual nuances of having characters of different sizes interacting, is that her height will also decide her proportions. For those who remember, in page 7 hornet became "as big as mom!". Specifically, her boobs and butt grew to be as big as Herrah's, of which would seem bigger on her smaller body. I want to keep this line consistent with the rest of the story, which means that the taller Herrah is, the smaller her curves will seem on her body. Now at first I didn't have a problem with this. In fact it would be thematic for Herrah to be better proportioned given what I have planned for her part of the story. However I also know people will want to see Herrah with giant boobs, and if I am anything its a people pleaser. So if I make the two closer in height, it also means I will draw her curvier.
This is where the question part of this comes in. I want to know what you guys want to see. My first instinct is to make her taller and better proportioned, but I want to give you a chance to convince me if you think the alternative would be better. So let me know in the comments!

Hornet 26 inked

The next page of hornet's dream is one step closer to being complete! Come take a look!

There is one thing that ive realized I should talk about, ghost's horns. Ive had to draw him quite a few times in the comic, and one might think at this point that I would have it down to a science on how I draw this little guy. But its gonna take a bit longer. One thing however that ive come to realize, is that I like his horns most when they are wide at the top and thin out when they connect to his head. There will be times when I draw his horns and think "man, it doesn't look right." And usually in those times I am trying to keep the width of his horns the same from bottom to top, like how it is in the game. But after drawing him here, I think I will be giving him the wide top horns from now on. In fact in the second to last panel one horn is wide top but the other is narrow. I think im gonna go back and fix that before I move on to color.

Also, I have chosen to keep the number of eyes on Quirrell's mask how it is for the moment. Its still the wrong number, but I just don't feel like going back and re-uploading the previous pages with extra eyes. Plus ive thought of a funny way to fix/explain it.

Not much else to talk about. Looking at it again I see a few more things im gonna add, but for the most part it is ready for the next step.

Hornets dream 27 sketch

The next page is here! Ghost and quirrel are hard at work trying to get Hornet through. But who is this entering the scene?

This was not too hard to do so far. One thing tho im a little worried about is Hornet's ass ripples in the last panel. I really wanna capture the soft water like impact you would get by hitting such a massive trunk, but its gonna be interesting to actually draw. This is another page where you can't really see much the the background between the characters and dialogue, so im likely not gonna worry too much about it this time.

I think the next page will be the last of chapter 2. Anyone who's been keeping up will likely know that the hip we see belongs to Herrah, queen of Deepnest and Hornet's mother! I've done a few concept sketches in the past, but I think im gonna do a few more in preparation for her proper appearance. Im also gonna have to work on a cover image for chapter 1. I don't really expect to print these, but in the random chance I do it would be convenient.

With that said I think this will be it for this update. Like always let me know what you think!

Samus and the Golden Boombox page 1 complete!

The first page of the Samus mini comic is complete! Give it a look and let me know what you think!

I have a few things actually to say about this piece. First while writing the lyrics for the boombox, ive actually considered how the song would be sung. In fact, if I write lyrics thoughout the comic, I may as well try and complete the song that goes with it. Now to be fair I have never written a song before. Nor would I know how to write sheet music. So this song plan might not go through, and if it does it will likely not be good. But its a fun thing to think about, and its almost in theme if it turns out to be trashy.

Outside of that I had fun drawing Samus again, its been a while. I talked about this before but I wanted to focus on accuracy when working on the suits details. But what I can't remember is if I mentioned that I was going to use the original zero suit design. Because at first that was the plan, but at some point I forgot and when I detailed some of the suit I used the modern/other M design. In fact when this was just a single drawing of samus, I started the project with the idea of "hey, not a lot of people draw samus with the zero mission design anymore. Lets do that!" Its too late now of course to change it, but I guess what I'll do is draw the zero mission suit the next time I draw samus.

Regarding the boombox however, I ended up changing its design just a little. A lot of people tend to make up their own design for it, and so I did so too. But early on I wanted to try and make the box accurate to how it was in the videos. The design is still mostly based off them, really the big change is the round speakers instead of square ones.

Samus and the boombox 1. Lineart complete

Another step has been made for the mini comic! Sadly Im not sure I will be able to complete all of them before my next semester begins, but I am at least getting closer.

I don't know if ive said this before, but the thing I would say I have the hardest time drawing is hair. Like I can do very simple and basic hair, and with enough time and effort I can make some really fun and either realistic or dramatic hair styles. But it is never easy. You would think that after so many times drawing samus that I would at least have an easy time drawing her hairstyle, but even now im not 100% happy with how im doing it. This also took a little longer to ink than I expected since I was making up a fair amount of the detail as I went along rather than sketching it first. Its something I will do to try and speed things up, but it also just creates this intimidating workspace that is not easy to draw under. Ive always said that its better to sketch things out since it looks better and saves time in the long run, but I think its about time I actually follow my own advice.

Outside of this I don't have too much to say in regards to making this piece. I suppose its a question of weather I can finish it before metroid prime 4 comes out.

Hornets dream 25 complete

Hornet 25 is complete! give it a look and let me know what you think!

Finishing page 25 actually ended up being a lot harder than I expected. I just wasn't happy with how it was turning out for a bit. There is still a little here that I don't think is my best, but I also want to hold back my perfectionism for the sake of delivering a story.

I added a fair few things to the background that I wasn't going to before. With the last page I choose to keep the background simple because of all the text and to not take too long, but doing the same thing for this one left it feeling lifeless. So I added back the heads, added smoke and the soul pool (my thought was that the pool had drained out because of hornet crashing into it, but in the end I think it was better to keep it as is) and that made a difference.

Shantae's massive dance, Colored sketch

Something I drew for my friend's project. Its just a small piece, but figured i would give you guy's a sneak peak! Let me know what you think!

I have a friend who was writing a story and they asked If I could draw a cover for it. This wasn't a proper commission and I wanted to make it fast as to not delay it, so its not my best work. Just a sketch I colored, but he liked it so thats all that matters to me. I don't know when the story is being posted, I just know it will also have a voice over version that was recorded. It should have the same title as it has here, so it won't be hard to find when it is posted if you are interested.

I should also draw Shantae more oftain. She's a fun character even tho I don't have any of the games. I might also make more colored sketches as they are a fair bit easier to make, but don't look as good in my opinion. But I think that isn't too unusual.

This will be all for now, have a good evening!

Hornet 25: lineart complete

Another update for hornet's dream, I think #25 is making good progress. Soon it will be colored and I can work on getting it done!

Not a whole lot to say about this one either. I do think im gonna make a few fixes to the lineart before I color it. But outside of that its pretty standard stuff.

I think im getting better with quirrel's design, but ive realized that I made a mistake for the past few pages. The mask he wears has 4 eyes, with 2 main bigger eyes and two smaller eyes that could be seen as eyebrows above. What I am most likely going to do is go back and add the eyes to the previous pages. I could just keep going with how it is now to keep it consistent, but someday someone's gonna notice. I could change it now and leave the others, but then its gonna be even easier to notice that they were gone then added. And its gonna be harder to fix later than now since I will have more pages to fix.

Anyway, thats all for now. Id love to hear your thoughts

Hornet 26 sketch

Hornet 26 is sketched! Give it a look and tell me what you think!

The greatest enemy of the curvy everywhere, doorways! Her boobs are too big to fit through on her own, and now its up to ghost and Quirrell to get Hornet through. Add this also to ghosts scoreboard for mobility assist. I think he is up to 3 now. The question is, is she now half stuck, or half free?

I don't have a whole lot to add for this one. I will say tho that this page is up there as one of my favorites. I just love the charm ive gotten to squeeze in. Its nothing brilliant, but just adds a little comedy as the story is moving.

In regards to story, the main beat I wanted to hit here was establishing the friendship between ghost and quarrell. They are pals and will help each other through thick and thin. Such as a thicc lady and a thin doorway.

Mass effect comic 3

Been a long while since the latest on this one. Tali's story continues, and we get to meet Shepard!

So in case I have not said already, the plan here was to have 2 comic pages, then a 10 part sequence that goes over Tali's whole story in all of the games, but she also has this chip that makes her bigger thoughout each entry. This of course is the first part of the sequence, so if this pace is kept up it will be done in... like 5 years? I don't actually know but the reason this has taken a while is that I've been slow with it and the commissioner has also been commissioning other projects between entries. I think however he is intent to focus on this one now and I have been really trying to speed things up around here. So fingers crossed its not done when mass effect 4 is released.

On an unrelated note, I have not played the mass effect games. I think it would be a lot of fun, but there is no way I have the time to do it any time soon.

Hornet 24 complete!

Hornet 24 is complete! Another story page, but at least this time we get to see more of our favorite bug!

I mentioned last time that I was gonna do the dialogue next. Which was what I did, and what I might do from now on in terms of the order I draw these in. But then I went ahead and just kept working on it, ending up where we are here.

In regards to the dialouge, Its all what I had in mind. Mainly a refrence to the tie in comic for the game that detailed Quirrell's araval to Hollownest. I think its a funny idea that Hornet doesn't remember him, she likely had to deal with all kinds of bugs thinking they could just walk into Hollownest and loot the place. Meanwhile Quirrell remembers almost everyone he meets very well, a bit of characterization that I think will go a long way. Hornet who is too busy with her duties to live in the moment, and Quirrell who is all about living in the moment.

I don't have anything special to say about the coloring or the shading of the characters this time. It looks good, and thats about it. The background I do have something to say about. Its bare, very bare. Basicly just some shadowing and thats it. The focus is on the conversation, so in my mind it isn't needed to add a lot of detail for it. If it bothers me enough, I might go back and add a few things. Mainly to the last panel which feels a little bare in my mind. But I also want to try and keep this ball rolling and upload at a reasonable schedule, which means knowing what battles to fight. In previous pages ive slaved over the background, and for this one I am just taking it easy on myself.

Hornets dream 24 lineart

Hornets dream 24 has its lineart done! Like always, let me know what you think!

One thing I would like to mention is that Im not 100% satisfied with how ive drawn quirrell. Mainly in panel 3. I think its just a matter of I have not drawn him frequently enough to nail his design, so thats something ive accepted will just come with time. Its his mask hat and his torso that I think needs the most work. He has a particular bean like body shape that i just don't have the practice for. And the mask too, but I think that won't be that much harder to learn.

I don't have too much else to say about this one. The real meat and potatos of this page is gonna come from the brief conversation between Quirrell and Hornet, so I might actually do that next rather than at the end like I usually do.

Samus and the boombox, page 4 sketch

The sketch of Samus and the boombox p4 is here! This was interesting to do and im curious to hear what you think!

One thing I tried to do for each of these pages is try to go more all out with the posing. While not every pose is packed with motion, I think I was able to at least get some nice shots in this and in the other pages. I do wish I could capture more of the softness and jiggles of a twerking butt, however im not gonna beat myself up too much over that.

Also the last panel is a reference to how most Metroid games end on a mission complete screen, including the percentage of the items you collected and the time you took to complete the game. This one specifically was inspired by one of the ones in Zero Mission.

Now that this is done, I do think im gonna make a cover page, but other than that the sketching phase is complete and I will be one step closer to completing this mini comic. Im not 100% sure I can pull it off, but it would be really cool in my mind if I can get these done before the start of my next semester in September. If I can that would be an accomplishment in my mind.

Hornet's dream 25 sketch

The sketch for hornet 25 is here! and it seems hornet's troubles are far from over. The door of doom as struck!

There isn't a whole lot to say about this one. It was interesting to draw hornet's boobs get stuffed into the doorway and make it look convincing. Took me a little bit to get it where I wanted it, but I think its coming out well. I also think ghost is getting a little too used to using hornet as a stag ride. He better be careful to not let go when hornet turns quickly! Im also trying to think of how to wrap up this chapter. There 2 things I need to do before this chapter is over.

1. quirrell needs to be established as a supporting character. This will be 26's job, but to make a long story short Quirrell will offer to help and after some convincing Hornet lets him join.

2. I need to bring in Herrah, which will either be 27 or 28 depending on how it goes.

Im also considering adding an extra panel or two to this page for a little more story, but part of me is liking how its turned out. So we will have to see about that one.

Anyway, thats all for this update. Let me know what you think!
