muted WIP 0.2

in which emma attempts to talk some sense into jasper.

i'm currently lining page 4 out of 6 from the next update &i'm enjoying it a lot!

my work hours have been exhausting, though. it's 2am, i've been working since 11am, with very little breaks inbetween. i would not recommend doing this, at least not for a long period of time LOL;;

but after the weekend.... i will most likely be able to cut back on hours a liiiittle bit again! only a few more days....... πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

tic toc | step by step | PDF

i had already threatened you guys with this, but it's happening now!

a detailed step by step, including me talking about tools, how i use them, experiences i've had with them and things i learned over the years!

i'm not a professional, but i do think i might have a few things to offer that could help you, too! maybe. in case you're interested in watercolour art at all πŸ‘€ i could very well do something like this for copic markers/coloured pencils, too??

aaaanyway, here's a sample ...

tic toc

finally, i can post the finished piece! it's been done for a while now but i wanted to prepare the step-by-step documentation before i upload this :) the step-by-step turned into a 15 pages long monster in which i talk a lot about my tools and how i use them, as well as stuff i've learned over the years!

the full pdf will be available for $5 patrons in just a moment :)

the banani squad.

i started working on some Q&A related things, someone asked for the MUTED cast in banana costumes, which i thought was a great idea.

two boys from another webcomic will join the trio for this one, can you guess who they are? x)

doodles &practise &filling your creative bank account

hello hello <3

as mentioned in a previous post i'm in a bit of a slump right now, it feels like my brain is completely empty ; _; i wanna draw so bad but it feels weirdly wrong and i cannot think of anything to draw?? i guess it's that "creative bank account" (β’Έ jake parker) i've heard about?? you gotta fill it up constantly, otherwise it'll be empty at some point.

so that's what i'm trying to do right now. i haven't watched a movie or tv show or even an anime in quiiiiite a long ti...

 i have a big watercolour commission to do this month (on a 50 x 60cm  canvas 😱) and yesterday i painted a very quick draft to decide on  composition and colours to show to my client and get feedback to know  what i have to look out for and stuff. while i was waiting for her reply  i thought… hm.. …. since i already have my desk full of all the  materials….. i could draw something else……? and i found the sketch of  the image above that i drew in de...

my old comics!

i deep-cleaned my apartment yesterday, i went so overboard my muscles actually feel sore today!! i came across some of my past failed attempts at comic-creating, and i thought it'd be interesting to share them with you!
these are, by far, not all of my early attempts. i might go digging deeper into my boxes full of art from the early years of my life at some point and take more pics of all the embarrassing stuff i did...!


on a side note - i have once again reached that point of "shit, i...

patreon request - april (violet)

today's stream was a lot of fun, thank you for hanging out with me for 4 hours πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

i haven't seen violet evergarden yet because since its release i didn't have time to watch anything that requires me to pay full attention (because of subs) but i'm excited to get to it at some point. i love her design and everything i've seen and heard about it so far ;;;;

my apologies to everyone who's request i didn't choose, i hope you'll still like this one, too πŸ’•

a late-night sneak peek for you πŸ’•πŸ’•

progress on the new chapter is going well, 2 pages are close to finished and i'm pretty happy with them! i'm excited to share them with you (prrrobably at the end of next week!!), i hope you're a bit excited, too x)

also, please be on the lookout for the request stream announcement tomorrow! i will be streaming once i'm awake and finished doing chores and whatnot so i don't know yet when exactly i can start, but probably a...

walk walk fashion baby

after finishing the first part of the storyboard for chapter 3 i figured i should mayyyybee decide on outfits before i start sketching or i'll have trouble staying consistent throughout the pages again.

so, here are the final (messy and anatomically disastrous) results.

for now, chapter 3 will mostly just feature emma and jasper, if kai or anyone else shows up as well, i'll take a look at their wardrobe then :3c

sigh

jasper is an actual representation of my current self lolol

it's been almost a week since i last managed to draw anything for muted, so today i wanted to at least get back to my children with a quick cooldown doodle πŸ’•

it's 3:15am already, time to sleep soon. lots to do tomorrow (= try to get a tax accountant last minute because as much as i'd like to do all that stuff on my own, i have honestly no idea anymore where to start HELP)

REQUEST TIME - APRIL EDITION

uah, sorry it's been a bit quiet here over the last few days!! as i mentioned before i had a lot of stuff to get done before the end of april, which left me with zero opportunity to make anything that i could show off on patreon ;;;; but now that that's (mostly) out of the way, i'm back and ready for some patreon action...!!

now, you know the game by now, hit me up with a character you'd like me to draw in the comments and i'll choose one of your suggestions for the next livestream! (which wil...

ΜΆsΜΆpΜΆrΜΆiΜΆnΜΆgΜΆ summer days β˜€

here in germany we have seemed to skip spring completely this year, we went from snow to the sun burning down with full force within one week T uT)

jasper and kai both like the outdoors (in kai's case the part of the outdoors that doesn't include too many humans) and they'd definitely use the current weather to go hiking or something. (author's note: i can't relate to that, if i didn't have to leave the house every now and then i probably never would do so voluntarily)

could this be... kai with short hair.... from the past??

this was my cooldown doodle last night. the metaphoric bubbles he's breathing will reappear in the next update, which i'll post for $5 patrons at the end of the week!

any guesses what they could be about? :3c

i'm always curious if my storytelling is too vague, just fine, or super obvious LOL one of my biggest worries is giving away too much so that everyone can easily figure everything out immediately. my other biggest worry ...

page 65 (WIP)

the next update will be 4 pages long and conclude the current chapter! this has basically all still been an introduction for the characters and the general plot, we can dive deeper into the story now.

initially i thought i would be done with the entire story of MUTED in ~70 pages, turns out i was very wrong LOL looking at my plans for this story now i think it will at least go on until the end of the year. which is good! i'm happy i get to spend more time with them ; _; and i hope my readers w...
