Howdy! Welcome to November, the month that's slightly cooler than October but not as cool as December! That's a... It's a weather joke. Get it?
We had a bit of a slow start into this month, because not only was I still recovering from last month's work, but because there was a minor scare this month. My grandfather had to go to the hospital, and since...

2019-11-02 13:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostThank you for your patience. I will be resuming work in just a few days.
I know that I shouldn't feel bad about taking a break from work, especially since it's too easy to become totally absorbed in that work. What I do is a full-time job (of sorts) and I really should be resting more often and allowing myself time to step away from that work. I've been using some of this time to clean.
Anyway, onto the Update…
As per usual, the next
I worked hard on the Beaumont comic (harder than planned), so I've been trying to take it easy lately. I hope you don't mind that I've been taking a break. I always feel nervous when I step away from regularly producing work.
I was so immersed in the workflow for the comic, it's a little strange to no longer be working on it. I'm kind of feeling a bit like -- well NOW what do I do? I'm also a bit nervous about producing art at a slower frequency than I was for October. It's a bit weirdâ...

I've never played Order of Ecclesia, but I know that the Western localization gives Shanoa the reference to Castlevania 2 that I make with Elayne -- word for word, pretty much, haha! While I'm not too familiar with the later Castlevanias, I've always thought that Shanoa had a pretty cool design and I loved her use of colour.
Earlier today, I received a Twitter message asking if I'd have ever thought to make Elayne cosplay Shanoa. I haven't. So then I drew it, because why not? I've...

Since this comic takes so long to complete, I figured I'd post the early pages here and update as I go along. I don't want to leave you in the dark with it's development.
The last 2 pages were actually the first to be drawn, and you can see that the linework is different, as it was before I transitioned into the style I'm working with now. I apologize for any inconsistencies, but I don't really have the time to redraw 2 whole pages.
The script itself is completed and also readable...

Y'know, I've never really joined in on the Bowsette hype drain last year, as fun as it was. I guess I just find it hard to spare time for non work related stuff... So here's a Bowsette that's actually better than last year's.

Ian C Samson hasn't drawn a Female Link in a really long time, but he did have his own version of the character, and she used to be just as frequent as mine. I figured I'd draw her again this month, and I'm pretty content with it. I've never drawn her in a way that I feel is 100% faithful to Ian's work though... I think it has to do with his use of shapes.
This version of Link was typically more modestly dressed than...

I always try to draw a Judge Hershey every year around this time, so this one is this year's.
I've been hard at work on the script for Elayne Beaumont. I still have to flesh out the opening scene and the closing one -- that closing one's giving me a bit of trouble though.
