More progress on hornet 20! Color is now in alongside some shading. There of course is more to be done, but I think its coming out well so far. One detail that I will be adding is that the light will be behind hornet in this scene. I hope that this will add some visual flair since its something that I have not done much in the comic. Also it punctuates her turning away, I think it fits. You might be able to tell where im going with it so far, but It will pop a lot more when I get the rest of ...

The lineart for hornet 20 is here! Not too much to say that I haven't said last time. But one thing that I haven't talked about is backgrounds! For most pages, ive drawn the backgrounds line-less as if I was painting them. This at least makes them faster to do since they aren't the focus of the comic, but also give some texture that makes it feel more alive. However it also sometimes doesn't fit the style of the characters, with them having outlines. So im trying including the backgrounds in ...

Down she goes, where do you think she will end up? Here's a hint, its pretty far down.
Im noticing that ghost is a little like courage the cowardly dog. Cute, kind, and willing to go to hell and back just to keep those he loves happy. For this one I had fun with the posing. I think I got everything here a little more dynamic than before. Its something Im quite happy about. not a whole lot to say, this page is mostly build up for the punchline coming in the next one. The rocks breaking a...

The third addition to the failing grade series is nearing completion. There are just a few things left to add, mainly the actual grade part which I’m only now realizing I had forgotten, and some detail for the background. I might adjust the dialogue with time, but that is at a point where I’m fine with. I experimented a little with the shading, using a purple color on soft light for the shadows. I’ve done something like this before, but with a shade of purple I don’t usually use. I th...

Hornet 19 is essentially complete. I might make a few additions before it goes live, but by all accounts it is ready. I personally think there is something wrong with the background, it just doesn’t look all too great. But this has taken long enough, so I will just have to try harder next time. One thing that I really didn’t like in the previous post was the impact clouds for panel 4. It just looked bad. I swapped it for some impact text, which looks better but still missing something. Oh...

It’s the last month of the semester, which means lots of finals. So sorry I haven’t been able to do much around here. But I want to post when I can and so here I am.
I’ve already shared the story I had in mind with this one last time, but I have a few extra details. The girl you see is named Abigail, and she plans to flunk her classes explicitly to grow her boobs. You are her roommate, to whom she gets to share her exploits. I intend to sneak in a mention of the previous girls th...

So a while back I drew a bee girl for a DnD race, I always liked how it looked, but it is way outdated. At first this was just going to be a remake of that picture, but then a friend I showed asked if it was a Hollowknight OC. I said it wasn't but that got my gears turning.
Now I would like to introduce Spinnerett, who I intend to add to Hornets dream either in chapter 2 or 3, depending on how the story goes. I have an idea in my head for her role in the story, but I don't want to give...

Hornet has gotten her payback, but it seems like she has left something behind. But not only that, the floor doesn’t seem strong enough to hold her. The sketch isn’t quite finished, I need to fit ghost back in and maybe lace as she sneaks away.
One thing I’ve thought about is how many panels I want each page to have. Obviously more panels means the story moves faster, but it also takes longer to make. Less panels means hornet is bigger on the page. I was going to squeeze in anoth...

Progress continues on hornet 19. It still needs more time in the oven, mainly the backgrounds and the shading. I will confess I am not sure how much I like how I did the background this time. Something about it isn’t working. Let me know what you think. Otherwise I think this is coming well. I of course added some things since I last showed, mainly Ghost who has been flung from his purch and stuck in the ground like a dart. This I like very much. I mostly know what I will do for the dialogu...

Were getting a new suit! This will be the first original suit that we can play in for longer than 5 minutes since prime 3, 18 years ago! I think it looks good, has a resemblance to the light suit, but also the character of a hot rod race car. I wonder what it will do, maybe a spin on the speed booster? Anyway we don't get to see all of it from behind, so I had to fill in the blanks. I think I was "accurate".

Got to work on hornet 19’s lineart today. I ended up making a few changes, mainly the first and last panel. I wanted to draw more booty if it’s not obvious. It was a little boring how it was before with just a close up of their eyes. Here we get a little more emotion I think. I also think I’m gonna make a few additions as well, I need to figure out what happens with ghost in all this, and for the 5th panel I wanna add another shot where we see Hornet as Lace crawls away. This also needs...

This is something else I started a little while ago. Many of you might be familiar with the previous two editions to "failing grades", this one however is a small bit different. While the previous students either disliked their new breasts, or at least had mixed feelings about their growth, this one knew all about the college’s new system, and was very excited for it. I’m looking forward to this one, in part because the others are a little old, and I’ve improved since then. I would say ...

This will be the last update before I post hornets dream 18. I had changed the background for panels 6 and 7 since the last update, this was an idea I had earlier but had forgotten about until now. It’s in part to cover up how it doesn’t make sense that you can’t see hornets bottom half in panel 6, but it also captures the shock better too. I’m still not super happy with Laces eyebrows, but it’s too late to go back now. There will obviously be a few changes between this and the publ...

Basic color is in. Next up I will be working on the shading and background. One thing I would have done differently if I were to do this again is to try and make more room in some spots for the word balloons. I’ve realized that some panels, mainly with Lace, are way tighter than I would otherwise like. Oh well, a lesson to be learned for next time.

Line art is in. Might go and clean a few things up, but I have everything that I intended to have. Next up will be color. I want to try and have this done this week. Not sure if I can do it, but I want to try. I’ll be out of college, so that’s where this burst of productivity is coming from.

Lineart has begun, the first two panels are ready and the rest are soon to come. One thing I’ve been spending time on is hornet’s eyes. There is something missing but I can’t tell what. I want to say it’s the shape, but it’s not easy to give it the curvy wave I like when she’s supposed to be wide eyed in shock. I might go back to try and improve that, but I want to finish the rest of the lineart first. Speaking of eyes, I also changed the expressions of the two bugs sneaking aroun...

I intend to introduce the Radience into Hornets dream, likely in a later chapter. However I wanted to fiddle with her design a little bit to fit better with what the comic is about. Up until this point I have mostly tried to stay true to the designs of the games, and so trying to add the radience in needs a little more effort. I have her normal arms and tried to use her hair in place of the wings that used to be in their place, and while I think I’m close, I feel like she is a little too fa...

I’m a big dnd/fantasy fan, and while in my art history class I thought of this idea of two kingdoms, one filled with woman with huge boobs and the other with gigantic asses, making an alliance. And as part of this alliance a prince from one was going to marry a princess of the other. And from that I thought of this scene, with the ladies in awe of the biggest ass they have ever seen. This might be something i develop into a series of its own, although as it stands right now it’s just this...

Here’s the sketch for hornet 19. Lace is getting away while she can, this isn’t over as far as she is concerned. And then there is Hornet, who does not appreciate a pair of perverts touching her new assets. It was fun to draw hornet using her breasts and butt to fight, something I intend to expand on. Only thing I have to do is add ghost back in. He was on her boobs previously, but I wonder if he’d still be on after being flung around.

I went back to refine the sketch for hornet 18, mainly I wanted to have more build up to Laces reaction for when her followers switch sides and become obsessed with hornet. Also big booty Lace is fun to draw.
Pannel 6 I might try to do more on. Something about it doesn’t seem right.

Ive had a few ideas for characters to include in hornets deam. Here is a little of what I have, expect more soon. I liked the idea of each mantis lord having a unique figure, plus a test on Marissa that looks a bit strange. I don't know what it exactly is, but something about the way I drew Marissa here doesn't look great.
Ive also gotten to experiment a little with how I intend to characterize the White Lady. I imagine her as a somewhat naive mother figure. How big do you think SHE was, ...

I can't believe i started this when I was at 3000 and have now reached 4000. Goes to show that doing things quickly is not my style. I hope the next part will be the last, I think 6 is a fine number to end on. If not then so be it.
Its not ready quite yet, I need to finish writing the dialogue and Ive noticed a thing or two that I want fixed, I forgot their tails for example. But other than that it is all but done.
Id be happy to answer any questions

It is not yet done, however its in a state that i satisfied happy to share. I ended up just eyeballing the colors, looks about accurate id say.
How soft do you think hornets body is? Considering that she is supposed to be a bug, likely not that soft, however this is my comic and I say she is like raw and heavy dough.
One last thing to note, one of these days im gonna have to make up my mind about the background. They are supposed to be in greenpath, but most of hollownest, which includ...

Also a long time coming. Good think ghost landed on something soft. Poor Lace is knocked out, but not for long.
I don’t have a lot to say. I have all but completely moved over to procreate, but this means I will also have to set up my color palette again, something I am not looking forward to. Expect quick progress on this one.

Here is the rough sketch for hornets dream 18. And marking the first page of hornets dream made with my new iPad. Previously I have been using a Wacom and photoshop to draw, but this past Christmas I got my hands on an iPad and downloaded procreate. While I miss some of the bells and whistles of photoshop, procreate is a much better deal overall and feels much better to use. I don’t know if you are able to notice any differences, I think it looks much the same.

Ive fixed hornet's eyes on the last page, added fingers where her hands were previously nubs, and I ended up redoing the 4th panel to better convey what Ghost is doing. I have also added the base color and currently working on the shading. I ended up giving the monarch wings a slight pink hue like how they are in the inventory, although they look more pure white in gameplay. I just thought this made them stand out better.
