Oops... Another Berry WIP

Hmmm. I wonder what her deal is.

Just another quick WIP while I work on stuff. 

Sort just like how clean the lines & how her expression turned out on this one.

Bellflower Part 24

In this installment, Holly is feeling a little guilty. And hungry. And Mikayla thinks she's found something.

I'm not going to lie, I think Holly's a little more fun to write than Rachel if I'm honest. Certain revelations are made. Burgers are eaten. This was a fun one that I took a little bit more time on than I anticipated. But I think we're going to bounce around a little more & get a few other characters' perspectives soon. Hope you enjoy!

Miffed

Jeez! I wonder what it is she said...

This was an old image I had floating around in my WIP folder forever. It's based on something similar I witnessed once, but context is obviously different. Anyway, I don't know why but I saw it sitting there & the spirit moved me to finally finish it up. So here it is! ALSO? I've been horrific at like catching things lately. So this is an edit with fixed grammar because I couldn't nail down the dialogue, left the wrong words in there, ...

Bellflower Part 23

In this installment, Rachel experiences some setbacks in attempting to move out of the Bellflower. But the process has left her a bit distracted. And what are Holly & Penny talking about?

As always, it's a little later than I hoped but I was getting into the back & forth of the last Fran sequence a little bit, so it went a bit longer than originally anticipated. Also too, if you got two emails for this, sorry! There was a scene I had originally written before that I wanted to en...

Bellflower Part 22

In this installment, Rachel is making moves... to well... move. Out. On her own. Away from Penny & the Bellflower. But it turns out Holly isn't quite ready for her to go. 

Just a quick one. I posted one earlier this week that was also a bit on the shorter side anyhow. Besides, I'd like to get back onto more of a Sunday update schedule. And while I want to wait to post this with some other art I'm working on at the moment, I'm adding it to my drafts here on Sunday so that should...

High Res Original Pumpkin Spice Iso + PSD

So while trying to sketch up some new Pumpkin Spicy stuff, I was rooting around in the old PSD file & figured maybe some people might want to dig through the guts of some of this. The full other file was pretty massive & a mess, but originally? It started based around this one girl (who I think people seem to like the most. At least I do). So I isolated her into her own little High Res image here for everyone's enjoyment.

But if you're interested, included is a PSD file that dig...

As Fast as Her Feet Could Take Her WIP

Just figured I'd share this while I was working on it. I might still rework bits, to further push the idea of her trying to waddle away somewhere, but having quite a tough go of it. Think I have a scenario in mind for her, in terms of like a little back story, but am open to suggestions. Ultimately aiming for something along the lines of "Messy," with her just a little bit bigger, as far as a finished product is concerned. 

More coming very soon!!

Bellflower Part 21

In this installment, Holly & Rachel attempt to get Courtney to join them for a walk. Instead? Rachel caves just a little bit more.

Sorry it's a little late. Thanks for bearing with me & your continued support! This is a short one with a bit more of a time skip ahead coming up. Just felt like I set up the walk & had to follow through. While Courtney may be a bit... sequestered from the others, no need to fret. She certainly isn't going anywhere soon. And I kind of wanted to d...

Bellflower Part 20

In our twentieth installment, it's once again the girls' weekly get-together. And after what's been a long, arduous day for Courtney, there's drama! Plus Penny has some news. All while the girls worry about their heaviest friend.

Thanks for your patience. Like I mentioned on twitter, I had a bit of a rough week. It was no one thing, but several smaller, but still very frustrating things happening all at once. I didn't intend for the radio silence, but I had a lot to manage....

Bellflower Part 19

In this installment, Rachel & Holly are joined on their morning commute by Courtney, who has been "working from home" for the past week, & completely at Penny's mercy. Plus Dawn seems to like pushing food on others.

So originally, this was going to be a very large part that also encompassed the Ladies' Night that followed. But I fell a little behind & don't want to put it off any longer so I figured I'd break things up & have that as a standalone as what I have for that ...

Pumpkin Spice Season: "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

You know, I thought she seemed awfully familiar. Just not used to being this much of her I guess. 'Tis the season though. And her poor friend can't quite seem to figure out why she's just so... obsessed.

|||

Was hoping to get this out much sooner but apparently comics take me forever. I think it was mostly trying to figure out how to draw her from that behind angle I think. But also her size might be slightly inconsistent between the panels. It was something I was hoping to sort o...

The Neighbor Upstairs WIP

As always, I'm behind on stuff I've already wanted to have out well before now, but I saw something & was struck with this idea & needed to immediately sketch it up this morning. I can't promise I'll come back to this right away, as I really need to focus. But figured there was enough here to maybe pique some interest. 

She always did seem to have weak floors up there.

Happy Birthday, Dreamcast

Was working on other art. It was going slowly. But I still wanted to post something, even if it was just a quickie. And hey, today's a momentous occasion.

I'm not big for doing fanart, but I figured what the hell. Enjoy.

Bellflower Part 18

In this installment, insight into someone's past as they start to notice some changes!

Once again a little later than I was hoping, & honestly, I was also hoping to get some art up between the two chapters but that didn't really pan out either. I keep allotting time for myself but then through no fault of my own, my plans then seem to abruptly change. I'm hoping it's something that stops happening as summer seems to wind down now. Still, for the most part, I'm pretty content with th...

Who are your Favorite Characters from Bellflower?

Just throwing this out there on a bit of a whim. Started tackling a bigger chunk of the next chapter this morning so I have it on the brain this morning. But I'm about to switch over & do some art at the moment.

Before I do, I was just a little curious which characters people seemed to be gravitating towards. I know there are a lot. Feel free, you can pick as many as you like! But at the same time try to be at least somewhat selective, because picking everyone (even Veronica) doesn'...

Bellflower Part 17

In this quick installment, the sisters go to check in on Courtney, who's been "working from home" for several days. Oh & Penny seems awfully eager to try out a new cheesecake recipe.

Was hoping to post some more art before putting this up, but this came together just a little bit quicker. Another shorter midweek chapter, but I feel like it's worth it. Moving forward I hope to do more like this. Hope you enjoy!

Process for "Research Assistants..."

Don't know if anyone would be really into this, but since I kind of had clear examples of the stages of an image, I figured I'd post this in case folks were interested. At the end of the day, my workflow is probably kind of dogshit in comparison to much more serious artists, but here is how I do things.

Sketch Phase

I start off that initial sketch. I keep a generic brush as big & as broad as possible since I have a tendency to noodle on details. So fat...

Bellflower Part 16

In this installment, it's Rachel's first day at her new job, but while she's ready & raring to go, Holly's not quite herself. And others are taking notice. 

Sorry it's up later than I hoped, but I had a last minute change of holiday plans. I tried instituting contingencies I made to still make it work while away from home, & while I was able to do some, hammering this out on a phone sucks at 2am, on top of not totally being satisfied with how that last sequence initially pa...

"Research Assistants..."

It's not at all that she's dumb. You can't be dumb to get where she's gotten. To achieve what she's achieved. To end up in a position at such a prestigious biochemistry program, working on such cutting edge research. In fact, in many ways, Kiki was probably one of the smartest people you'd ever have the privilege of meeting. She just, at that same time, had this capacity for pulling some of the absolute dumbest, most absent-minded, & downright boneheaded moves. 

So when word go...

"Research Assistants..." WIP

It's glowing. And there's steam coming off of it.
How & why would you mistake that for your iced latte, exactly?

In this installment, it's time once again for L

Well Somebody's Certainly Excited.

Just a little preview for an upcoming thing I think will make a few people almost as happy. I liked how this turned out & wanted to share it a little early.

Since I've got you, this week's Bellflower will be up Sunday as it'll be one long chapter, with most of your favorite supporting characters.

Taco Tuesday

Actually?

No one said anything even remotely close to "Tacos." Contextually, or even phonetically.

Aww, but look at her face! Look at just how happy she is! Are you really going to be the one to tell her "no?" 

What are you waiting for? Get this girl some goddamn tacos already!

Just a quick sketch I did between things here. Liked how it shaped out & it came together pretty quickly. Might clean it up in the future, but no promises. Kind of like how it...

Bellflower Part 14

In this installment, Rachel's orientation day has arrived. But Holly's in something of a mood, given all the stuff on her mind as of late. Okay well, mostly food. But also how much it's only been that.

Wanted to have this up a little sooner, but thanks for bearing with me. I'll have 15 up very soon too. Part of what took me so long on this is figuring out just where I wanted to cut it. I feel bad because I keep saying we're going to jump ahead, but I keep coming up with things in the sh...

A Futile Rescue from The Berry Fields

Poor Amanda.

She had the very best of intentions! After her best friend Becca had fallen prisoner, she tried her damnedest to mount a one-girl rescue party! She was able to sneak past the gates & avoided the temptation of the ripe berries growing in the rows & rows of bushes. When she was finally able to make it to the berry girls were being held, she gave Becca a delicate, but forceful push, causing her massive friend to start rolling down the nearby hillside. It had been Aman...

Bellflower Part 13

What?! You read right!

In this installment, Rachel & Holly each have their own bad ideas on how to cope with a very hot day. 

Not going to lie, the last chapter was kind of hellish in a few ways. And so I want to try altering the format just a little, by maybe doing quicker little installments maybe a couple times a week. The plan is to get you all another chapter this size (or maybe slightly bigger) by Sunday as well. And I know I keep saying I'm going to be hopping ahea...

How to Care for your Berry Girl: Video Effect Title Test

I realize it's not really much beyond what I've shown already, but I just want to kind of show how things are progressing with this. Provide a small update, you know? And give you a slightly better idea of what I have in mind.

Right now, my main focus is trying to re-learn a newer version of some animation software I used a very long time ago. And try to see about actually get a few simple motions & talking head animations (no sound but lips & wobble & stuff), but I'm think...

Just a quickie. I'm working on a bunch of stuff for you guys, but feel bad I've been slacking on actually posting anything. So hope you dig this for now & hopefully more soon!!

The Bellflower Part 11

In this installment, Rachel has her big job interview. But with such an evil company, is she seriously considering this? Sorry it's a little late. This is entirely on me, because at the last second I second guessed my original ending. I'm still a little unsure about this one, but it still feels a bit better anyway. But here it is in its entirety. With very minimal changes to what was already posted (I forget but I don't think I did a thing). This one is laying the groundwork for further threa...
