Prince Burst is the magical boy alter ego of Dimetrius, by Painbow.
And this is just the teaser of my October series: Mighty Princes, an extended team of (mostly) orcs with magical boy powers that will fight the forces of evil.

Guys, this took an **awful** lot of time. Not just because it's the third header I make, not just because I drew so many background characters I got sick of it, not just because I felt like checking the model of this wrestling arena and had to fix the horrors I made a year ago, but mostly becau...

Dog Days
Hey guys, you likely haven't noticed since I'm working on a bunch of lower-effort standalone pieces, but I'm not doing much art in the past ten days or so. That's because I've adopted a dog: Her name is Luna, an adorable mutt with a lot of Border Collie and some Husky in her, especially the eyes, the tail, and her lust for bird blood. The eyes are especially adorable because they make her look either sassy or dazed, but she's always adorable.

Steaming with Excitement
So guys, the good news (kinda.)
Do you remember me being very dubious about a punctual publication of the Armstrong Vs Winston update because I had to learn along the way and that's why it has taken me three months?
Well, not just that, I've also mentioned a micro-lag due to the post-processing of the program which I can't really switch off during the inking and shading phases because it makes very smooth sexy lines, but also my process like 50% slower.

So guys, I started inking the CMB Pages a few days ago. Then realized I was basically doing pixel art for most of the faces and got frustrated. Even after I resized the page from the so-called comic book standard, the details looked blurry as hell.
Then I tinkered with Blender, realized that my problems with the delays and unreliability I experienced is sketching stemmed from my stupid ape brain not having noticed that there was the post-processing (i.e. very fancy autosmoothing) t...

It already feels like the traffic on the blue bird platform is decreasing, less tweets from real people compared to gimmick accounts run by bots, on my feed.
Also, the most recent update of Celebrity Bangmatch has received very small engagement, but that could boil down to my incapacity to give to the algorithm what it wants.

Here they are. It was fun, a bit of messing up. For sure my 2D abilities helped me a lot to place the edges in the more or less the right places. Now I will try to rig some of them and see if they help me to keep the proportions in the Celebrity Bangmatch scenes.
Ah, BTW, I made a pool about a short GoW series. Sorry if I look so erratic. You can vote here.

So, what am I doing right now?
Well, after a bit of relapse after the continuous mad dash of a daily art challenge, something that is completely incompatible with my lifestyle and I won't try EVER again, I've gone back to the Celebrity Bangmatch comic, wrote a rough script I've yet to edit, and I'm doing the sketches for the pages in bulk.

Twelve pages
So, I've finished the layout of the Kraven Vs Incineroar match of CBM (plus the interlude), and it's twelve pages. Not panels, pages with an average of five panels each.
I'm a bit intimidated but also excited because that means I can play freely with the spaces and the position of the balloons. Instead of cramming dialogues along the border of a panel, I can place them according to a flow. Make the bombastic actions big and the supportive ones tiny.

Hey guys, after the gargantuan work with the gorilla and the bull, I've decided to try something simpler. And I felt so humiliated by the difficulty it presented. I guess because my brain was just shut off after so much animation, and I couldn't imagine the movements in my mind.

In the past months, I've been listening to D&D podcasts while inking and coloring, and this game grew on me. I love how challenging is for writers, like having your story edited in real-time, without the option to dumb down your protagonists in order to further the plot because they're maneuvered by other players that want them to succeed, and you have to come up with actually smart ideas in order to still challenge them.
