Christmas Lineart Teaser

I thought about doing a christmas special episode buuut tbh i don't think we're far enough into the story to have the character development needed for a fun lighthearted mini strip. not yet at least! So, nothing special for the holidays this year, except for this festive Kiri, which i will hopefully finish by Friday!

Chapter 4 Part 9 sketches

I cleaned them up (somewhat) this time! I really only focus on the head, and say eh to anatomy. a lot of it i dont even need to sketch anymore, faces are getting so close to muscle memory at this point, especially front portraits! well that and the symmetry tool is nirvana. anyway finally this chapter is coming to a close! Chapter 5 is short, 3 maybe 4 episodes, we'll see! enjoy my notes

Script: Chapter 1

Alright hopefully this works better than just pasting the entire chapter as a text post or smth. If you're able to edit plz let me know because it's not supposed to do that ;;

anyway enjoy! I know I'm not the best writer, and there are for sure a bunch of mistakes, but in my defense it only needed to be coherent enough to translate to a comic.

Character Sheet Interlude: Tristan

That's right I finally finished chapter 4 which means it's Tristan time! I'm trying to make the Interludes more fun to read, rather than test, having a bunch of doodles as well! But not too detailed, since Interlude weeks are my break weeks. 

Tristan is really important to me, and as a character in general! He acts as Kiri's first friend and reminds her of her brother! He's the voice of reason often times, and though it's hard for him to show it he cares a great deal about those he...

Chapter 4 Part 7 WIPS

Every week before I upload i have to have my wife read through it and tell me where i forgot 1) earrings 2) drawstrings and 3) Kirianna's ring. Every week there's at least 1 panel missing something that I don't notice till AFTER posting. Sometimes i say eh whatever, sometimes i go fix it. Depends on the mood

Also, Poor Adrian.

Sketch Dump #1

Some Canon scenes, some scrapped, some yet to come.....we got it all, including boobs folks.

Dont ask why i never finished the last one? It's SUPER old but looks relatively good? I apparently just wasn't feeling it back then. And yes that's Philippe, we havn't seen the last of him.

Script!

All of you agreed you'd like to read the original story! I am but a humble servant, and will be putting them together soon! I'll probably release it chapter by chapter. Whenever a chapter is completed on the comic, I will post the written version! 

I'm truthfully not the BEST writer in the world, but it may be fun anyway! Thank you all for your enthusiasm! I will be releasing them on the $2 tier to hopefully tempt some new people in as well! 

Chapters 1-3 will be posted ...

Chapter 4 Part 7 Sketches

1) Fight scenes are HARD to draw

2) they're also an excuse to put a little too much effort into Captain's ass

3) Fun Fact! Captain has the best ass, too bad he keeps it hidden :( let's get that coat off....

Interest Poll: Script

I'm thinking about adding a reward (undecided to which tier though)! Access to read the script/story version of already illustrated chapters? They can end up being quite different than what ends up getting published as a comic, so it may be fun? You guys would see scenes that didn't make it in, and maybe gain a little more insight to characterizations that are hard to illustrate. 

Let me know you thoughts!

Old (Unposted?) Art #3

I don't think I actually ever posted this one! I was trying to do a series of illustrations with the crew, but around this time i was actually starting the comic, i think??? Also, this mans name is Edward! He's been on the ship a long time. 

And Finn was aged down from 15/16 to 12/13 for the story, i wanted a younger boy to interact with Kirianna, to help her see that if such a pure child can live here, maybe it's not all bad.

Hoo boy this ep is a little short but fun! I'm trying to do more with the webtoon scroll format, but oh boy are ships hard to draw. You'd think I wouldn't have made a pirate story huh?

Opinion!

Episodes are finally starting to catch up to me! So here's my question...

Would you prefer shorter eps every week (10-15 pages, episode 19 for example)

or longer episodes every 2 weeks (current length, anywhere from 15-30 pages. for reference episode 1 is 28 pages, and episode 22 is 26)
