chapter 7 WIP: Momo

This is like the best Momo drawing I've ever made

chapter 7 WIP: new girl

(More snapshots at the end...)

Big changes are coming to the world of WisteriA!

I haven't actually been working too much on storyboards lately... I started them the other day (I did three pages that day to get the process jump-started a little) and have been making steady progress since. I'm tossing my usual 8-page thing in favor of "however many pages I need to tell this story," so it's going to be a long one again. Not to overwork myself though, I'm still probably going to stick...

06-05 See her

Go to her...!!

So like, this page took a while to draw even though there isn't much on it. The main reason was Mari's face there, with nothing much but her expression for the reader to look at. Because of that, I figured it had to be just right and spent a good deal of time trying things out, stepping back to take a look, changing little details here and there, and eventually settling on this. I can only hope that it worked out.

06-04 Solo Struggle

Linnaea is home now. It's rare for her to be alone at this time of day... 

06-03 Absence

An unsettling absence. But it's not Yaya's fault!

I had this small segment with Yaya planned for a long time before I even started making the storyboard, so I was glad to finally draw it.

Chapter six, page two. The plot thickens already...

WisteriA 06-01: Momo on the mind

Chapter 6! It is entitled "Bonds".

As announced, the new posting format follows a more spaced-out early access model, so this is just the first page. At the time of writing this, it's only accessible by $5+ patrons until it goes public on April 2nd. On April 2nd, page two will be published in early access and go public on April 5th. And so on!

Based on that schedule, this post is actually going up a bit late (it should have been last Friday the 29th), but things should be on track...

announcement: slight reward changes (nothing crazy)

Hello! If you're reading this, then I'm already... starting to work on chapter 7 of WisteriA. The fifth chapter just finished and chapter 6 is starting real soon on April 2nd!

Onto the topic at hand. I decided to push a couple of small changes to the rewards structure. The first change concerns $1+ tier material, namely WIP snapshots that I regularly post here on Patreon. Starting with chapter 6, WIP posts will now become public upon the release of the chapter they're associate...

chapter 06 WIP: pentagonal sparklies

One of the last WIPs before the chapter begins... it's just about done right now. I just have a couple of insert drawings to make.

"But wait, isn't that kind of a lot left—"

I hope you look forward to the chapter! It's the longest one yet by a few pages.

Chapter 6 WIP: long

it's long

WisteriA Ch. 05 Full

Chapter 5!! It feels like they're really coming along.

This one is coming out a bit later than I planned since it took a while to make... lots of backgrounds, lots of drawings, and then also some last minute fiddling with dialogue and composition. I think I'm happy enough with it to publish it, and I hope I've managed to get everything I wanted to say with it across.

Page 1 is up there and the rest is below. Thanks for the support and enjoy!

Chapter 5 WIP: I'm almost done

Almost. This chapter is sooo packedd

But I think it looks the best the comic has ever looked, at least. I hope I managed to say everything I wanted to with this chapter. I'm leaving this post public as a special treat of some kind...

It's just tones on the last page left! And a couple of small panels. And one insert drawing. The chapter releases on Tuesday the 5th! The $5 tier reward will also be released that day.

And I know it's three days into March already, but I'd like ...

WisteriA chapter 4

It's February, which means it's time for the whole chapter 4! Thanks to the Patrons who've supported the comic for another month.

This chapter is once again a bit of an evolution in terms of the drawings and direction and everything... but I'm slowly settling on something. Enjoy!

non-WisteriA day: Reina

My non-WisteriA drawings since the beginning of the year have been like 90% Eupho drawings, which is okay.

Had a bit of reference for this one. It's fascinating how much it helps ground the illustration even when you're not following the perspective or style of the original ref...

WIP: a lovely lady

Hi hi

Well, I've been slacking on WisteriA work a little. It's calculated slacking, mind, meaning  I've still left myself enough time to finish the chapter by the month's end. (　´∀｀)b

This is some WIP for a different mini-project. It's a contest drawing. It has to be finished and submitted by January 20 (JST), so you'll be seeing the finished version soon!

I do have some unreleased WisteriA WIP snapshots though, so I'll just throw them into a post right ...

That time Yaya discovered Momo hiding in a box

I'm making actual progress though, don't worry.

WisteriA chapter 3 full

Third chapter!

This chapter brings some changes both in aesthetics and direction. In favor of more flexible storytelling opportunities, I've switched away from the four-panel format that I started with. I also wrote this chapter to start delving into some more longer term stories rather than short, episodic ones, though I do plan on having those along the way. That's where the flexibility comes in!

Stylistically, I've tried to clean up the look a little. Being able to draw a bit b...

Happy new year!

It's 2019! Great!

At the beginning of last year, I said something about how 2018 was going to be a year for some big changes and progress. I think I can say it turned out that way, especially with WisteriA's debut. Drawing progress has been good too, which I'm grateful for. I have some good momentum going into 2019, so I'm looking forward to more good changes.

I hope your year has been fantastic and I thank everyone for their continued support!

side project: Soralie

The side project isn't entitled Soralie; that's just the character's name!

This was both a commission as well as some much needed artwork for that project. It's also my first painting in a while (as opposed to lineart drawings). It's also probably my best painting so far, maybe matched only by Elizabeth from a long time ago. Either way, I like it and it was a good learning experience.
