God's Descent: Rezli (1/3)

Sooo... I took a little break from Reaper and Waiting comic because I had a little plot bunny jumping around in my head. I had to doodle this little comic out, and as my wonderful patrons I am posting this for you first!!! 

These are the first two pages; there are seven pages in total.

I'll post the next two parts in a few more days. Please enjoy my new OCs Li Rong and Reznor! Thank you for your continued support!

:D Sha Po Lang (杀破狼) is a new Chinese novel that I have been reading. It is seriously an amazing epic; even as a translation it is a philosophical masterpiece, I can't even imagine how much genius I am missing out on from the original Chinese text. It's a steampunk historical fantasy with heavy political intrigue, based on real events in Chinese history, with a beautiful love story between a young general and a prince weaving through it all. Not for the faint of heart, but here is where...

gesture sketchdump

a complete sketchdump of gesture drawings I did last month! I should do it everyday but to be honest I did it every other day... it's really hard. And you are in danger of burnout if you push yourself too hard, so we need to find the good balance when it comes to keeping your skills sharp but not overworking yourself.

this is still considered a one-page update I think, because the illustration you see there was done last year! (Yes, this scene was one of the first I wrote in the script :D)

IT'S DONE...

I was actually surprised at the direction this flashback took. Originally I had the Evil Father execute them both, but... it just didn't feel right to me. THIS ending popped out instead, and I think it's much better. I may be the writer but this story surprises me too.

Now we can get back to present timeline!!

This chapter was definitely more difficult than most of the other chapters, so I will take a one-week break to plan/draw the next chapter. I will upload a...

ch. 17 p. 3-5

I had to extend this chapter by three more pages... so three more pages to go! Since this is such a Big Event that I've been building up pretty much the whole story to, I had to give this chapter a little more weight.

Hopefully the payoff feels worth it...! And once again, THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for your continued support, I appreciate it so, so much!!!!

Had yet another extremely irritating experience with a reposter (the post is still up even after they were informed of their transgression, because it is one of the highest viewed posts on their account, without credit!!!) so I'm going to watermark all my illustrations that I post on social media now.  Full res images without watermark will only be posted on patreon! 

I highly suggest watermarking your artwork as well!

full res png for Surf Kiss

I wanted to study water and added my OG OCs in. Good note to remember: you should colour everything with a slightly grey hue, so when you want to add some "glowy" effects, like the indigo I have shining through the waves here, it can be easily achieved by using some saturated colours. I tend to use saturated colours a lot and so making things "shine" can be a bit difficult for me.
