Chapter 6.19

As a heads-up, pages will slow down in the next week or two. We're preparing for moving and will be doing all the things that you need to do to prepare for that, like packing and driving around and loading things into cars. I've got one more page after this one that's ready to be colored, but after that I'm not sure what my schedule will be! Hopefully I'll be all set up in the new place by mid-november and I can resume my feverous comic creating pace.

Chapter 6.17

I've got about 3 more pages lined up to color, so I'm hoping that it's a fun surprise to get a bunch of new pages. I've been trying to do them in batches lately because it seems to be a little faster. Instead of doing one page from start to finish in 3 days, I managed to do nearly 4 pages from start to finish last week, minus the colors.

I always end up drawing Aidan looking at Toivo with these expressions of either adoration or amusement and it's always really kind of funny to me because he doesn't normally look like that

anyway they dated for a really long time

Trying out more coloring techniques! I received a brush the other day from a friend (they make the webcomic Heart of Keol) and I started using it for more of a textural look. It'll probably take me a little bit to get used to it, but it was really fun to use!

Also, here's a new character! More will be revealed about her in the upcoming pages, but if it's not obvious yet, she's a dwarf.

[PSD files] Chapter 6.09-6.11

These were the pages where I started to experiment more with the coloring. The thing is, the file structure didn't change all that much, i just painted over top of everything.

In clip studio I pretty heavily utilize reference layers, and I think you can set up reference layers in photoshop, but I haven't been using that as much because Clip Studio just has way more intuitive layer management. You can see in page 6.09 that I used a bunch of photoshop filters on the blue backgrou...

I like this page because we get to see Aidan's personality come through without him being upset about Derik. :)

I've decided to try something new with this page! I'm testing out some different coloring.

I recently read the entirety of Middlewest, a series that takes place in a fantasy Midwest America. (you can find the first issue for free through that link) It was good, but the thing that really struck me was the art and colors. I'm hoping that maybe taking inspiration from this series will help me improve m...

my prints are all over this page... literally. i used my thumb to ink the blotches behind the middle panels.

I like these pages because you get to see Aidan blather away in a more natural setting, rather than it being all about Derik or ghosts all the time.

look, he only had a few seconds to draw an appropriate wanted poster, he can't be expected to do much better than that.

APOLOGIES for not uploading these faster. I fell behind a bit with some of these PSD uploads.

I've decided to just do a big batch of them for now, since I really don't want to overwhelm your inboxes with emails just to catch up with these. That's one thing I'm struggling a little bit with, is trying to not overwhelm inboxes for individual posts, since... there's a lot of comic pages! So, maybe I'll continue to do batch uploads like this.

None of these pages are really special in a...
