BARBAROUS Chapter 7 dev update!

These will be going up in the run up to Chapter 7! We're hard at work on Chapter 7, and the first thing that happens after scripting is creating references for the various characters in major scenes. This chapter has quite a lot!

Kickstarter sticker sheet WIP: Pillar Percy

I've been working on kickstarter rewards lately, which has been such a nice break for my brain. I love being able to spend multiple workdays doing little illustration work like this, it feels so self-indulgent. And we unlocked a LOT of stickers in the last kickstarter, so it's been a really chill time for me!

For the reward sticker sheets I tend to do whatever I think is cool, so for this one I'm doing "Percy's many phases." I completely forgot what Percy's pillar design looked...

Happy New Year!! To me!!

*goes on vacation and 100 horny OC drawing fall out of my hands* oh no oh no I'm so sorry excuse me

Dhio's probably one of my very very oldest characters I still draw regularly, I think he showed up some time in early high school and never left because he's hot and awful. Some day I'd like to properly work on the story he belongs to but I have a mess of other stuff on my plate to get through first.

I guess my "break" is technically "over" and I'm supposed to "go back to drawing fo...

Is this safe for work?? I think so, here's a Leeds drawing

I've been "off work" for like a week and have suddenly been really into "drawing for fun?" Have you heard of this? Drawing for fun??

I dunno, towards the end of the year I've been approaching a feeling of "am I able to give all these clients all appropriate attention, am I getting burned out, am I phoning it in, is this fun anymore." It's been nice for my brain to have a little bit of time to putter around and do small things I've been putting off and play some games and draw s...

Happy New Year!!!!

YAY I finished just under the wire!!! 🎉

The two of us are still stuck at home, but we're trying to make the time feel at least a LITTLE bit 'vacation.' I made some chocolate peanut butter cookies and we managed to start playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Switch... before Link unlocks the actual ocarina and the control mapping becomes slightly unplayable with the joycons lol. (We'll have to wait until we can get a classic N64 controller to do the rest). Ocarina of Time is...

Merry Christmas!!!! (barbarous holiday sketch)

HIII EVERYONE!!!!

We wound up cancelling all our holiday plans because NYC isn't doing so hot right now, so I've been spending some time today drawing. I wanted to draw something cute for the New Year that had a larger chunk of the cast! I'll try to finish this soon! :D 🌟

Barbarous: first drawings of Cameron and Fortuna

I found these on the iPad! This is the first art I ever did of Cameron and Fortuna, in Procreate. Since then I've kind of simplified Fortuna's design for the sake of making my life easier, but I kind of want to make her fluffier and lankier moving on, I think the first pass on her design is really appealing!!! I have no idea if Cameron's tattoo is canon, but he *IS* the kind of guy who'd have it lol

Barbarous Ch6 / Page 4 Breakdowns

I've been meaning to share the progress shots of Page 11 / Panel 3 for a while! The model/thumbnail breakdown for this one was pretty straightforward, but we actually worked pretty hard on how exactly Percy's selfie should look!!!!

I drew out a bunch of alternates for Percy's BIG RETURN TO INSTAGRAM and realized I've never shared them anywhere! (They're in the fifth image in the post!) It was fun, I've been having a blast drawing Percy showing off and being hot.
