Extra comic - Mother of mercy

The chapter is ending soon, so I'll start posting this 4 page bonus comic on April! It's a scene set in the moment when the stonekrovns become aware of grasslanders on their mountain.

Characters: Gutpull, Blinder, Boneslav, Loudkill, Grimjav, Earbust + others

This will be available for Magpie+ tiers! It'll be available for ~7€ on Ko-fi afterwards.

I haven't really used my OCs for a while, so I haven't been sketching either. I make these fawns sometimes as a warm up before starting to work on pages. They're fun and relaxing.

Sympathy? In this economy??

And ohh what could it be, hmm, hmm. What do you think?

And you thought we'd continue this journey without our very own stonekrovn... 😎(honestly I think we all knew this was coming)

Loudkill & Gutpull

The sisters you don't want to mess with 😎😎

They're very close, helping each other on every walk of life no matter the problem. Both are very family oriented and care deeply about blood relations.

They're also hotheated in different ways:
While Loudkill is sometimes prone to getting lost in fury, she's more calculative with with her aggression and accepts defeats if she feels like she made a mistake. Gutpull snaps off all suspenders and doesn't want to calm down during mis...

The seer - 3D model, first concepts

1-3. Sculpt of Seer's antlers. The further the tines go, the less detail they had to have, thankfully. I like the little loops.

4. First ever sketch of the seer, all the way back from 2018. The design is pretty similar, a little gnarlier. The antlers are suspended on the cave ceiling, but in the end it made more sense to make them grow in place. Cavepups are pretty close to the canon too.

5. Ideas and notes for the mountain itself, the cave entrance, and cave pups.

Spreading Patreon content

I'm so, so disappointed to learn there's people among you who spread patreon exclusive content around. This is my job and only source of money β€” I need the money I'm trying to make so I can continue dedicading my time for this comic. If you're going to just leak it, what do you think is going to happen if people stop coming here?

I know your aliases but I'm not asking to know who you are here, I'm just asking for you to have a speck of respect towards the work I do, and to the paying ...

Here are the boys! I'm only now noticing that Loud and Pull could be inspired by Loudkill and Gutpull, though Gutpull's name was still Gutspill when I chose name for this pup. Loud's font is a bit bigger than the other two, because he's loud!

In this context, I imagine bull is a term for a strong guy, which is definitely something Kasko doesn't associate with himself.

Also, even though Nero has been referred to as golden twice now, I never had the intention of Golden Shrike as a title to symbolize only Nero. Honestly I don't even like the title, I thought it sounded fine and both protags are golden with shrikes so I went with it so I could continue doing more interesting things, like drawing... πŸ«₯

Boneslav & Grimjav + Naming lore

Grim is only one year older than Bones, but their size difference is biig, bigger than shown here because this is old art. Grim is at the massive spectrum for Stonekrovns, Bones is smaller than most due to reasons unknown for now.

There's a slightly graphic drawing of Grim's jaw situation. It was smacked by a bear, leaving his jaw jutting out. He's a kind thing, I love him, the himbo. He's seen very strong and brave after surviving a big beast like that. And he is!

Are you proud how quietly I suffered through this character's scene, huh. Are you. It was a painful March-May.

Oh, and you can refer to seer as they/them. They're a stonekrovn so antlers won't tell you anything! I'm sure such a thing doesn't matter to them anymore when you're stuck in a cave for forever.

The rest of the chapter. I was so so exhausted at this point. The blank page is the one where Antaras tears at the tree but I had no idea how to execute or pace it well, it's still my least favorite page of the whole chapter.

RoM thoughts

I'm just playing with the possibility of someday making a humanoid comic. I've made some tests but man, MAN, the clothes? The environment? How can anyone draw a comic following a creature who changes clothes and wrinkles them and walks around architecture that was build with math?

Anyway, my teeny tiny idea is a slice of life comic following two characters in their separate lives in the same town that hosts regular and magic folk side by side. A dabble in webtoon format too. The charact...

SPICY - Not so spicy

I haven't drawn anything naughty lately so this study is the closest I can offer you. It's Jae again.

Little anime moment..

I also always read Boneslav's line as "they're old as FUCK" and it never fails to throw me off.

Slim pickings this month I'm afraid! January is always a little breather month for me, this time especially so because I actually finished my current GS chapter and wanted a little break to do nice personal things. Like play Hades and consume large amounts of comfort media. You know how it is.

1. Studies of a pretty deer and okapi slapped side by side. Okapi are so cool.

2. The silly sheep from Corpse.

3. Rare ass traditional art, a Christmas card. I absolutely hate drawing ...

Corpse - 20-21 FINAL

And it's done! I hope you enjoyed this little story. It's pretty special to me as it's the first independent comic I've ever finished.

I'd love to print it one day but I don't know when, but I'll be sure to let you know on dA, twitter and here if it happens.
